You spoke to a version of me in your head

The one who stayed perfect and always said yes

But the image cracked when I walked on the scene

And you backed away like I'd ruined the dream

You tangled up fast in unfamiliar sheets

And I sat through your recap of every scene

Like I was never in the plans you erased

Like a sentence I earned for showing my face

Did I make it easy to leave me behind?

Was I something safe to use in the meantime?

You ran to another, I sat in silence

Did you know I was watching from the quiet?

You asked if my silence had something to say

So I cracked the seal and let it escape

But you tugged at the thread with a careless hand

And let the fabric tare while you turned and ran

Were the signals I gave that easy to miss?

Or did you pretend they just didn't exist?

Did you notice the cracks and let them spread?

Were you lost, or just stuck in your head?

Did I make it easy to leave me behind?

Was I something safe to use in the meantime?

You ran to another, I sat in silence

And you knew I was watching from the quiet
