-every Other Guy-

You gave me this look the last time I was with you Asked, "What?" Made the comment, "The way you look at me." "How's that?", I asked. "Like I'm every other guy." This moment caught me off guard Don't know what to say or how to react It is true though Maybe it's been the space between us Or the year that's past Call you sweetie, or sweetheart even darling and dear Placed you in that category of meaningless Someone I know but don't care much about I have no intentions of wanting those feelings back As I get my things together See the hurt in your eyes You say you understand Place a light kiss on my forehead I walk to the door Hesitate, look back at what I used to have Smile when that devilish grin appears Wink, wave goodbye, I walk out on every other guy For My Cutie A.H. Sorry for life not working out.
