The Patsy
Stop wasting all my time,
please don’t leave the light on.
There was never a chance.
I’ll deal with that title,
the patsy of romance.
Stop wasting all my time,
I won’t follow bread crumbs.
Snipping the yarn in two,
now you cannot track me.
My mind’s stronger than you.
Stop wasting all my time,
this hourglass is precious.
Make the most of the clock,
that’s what I tell myself.
I’m not bought with sweet talk.
Stop wasting all my time.
I’m content in the dark,
where I can truly breathe.
Any taste of shallow?
Let it remain beneath.
