What She Didn'T Say

'I love you'
What she didn't say
'I'll miss you'
What she didn't say
'I'll remember you'
What she didn't say
but I thought I felt it in her eyes
I thought she meant the truth
I thought the number she gave me was proof
proof she'd come back to stay
proof last night was real
proof I didn't wake up to a note laying on the pillow
proof out of sleepy eyes
I didn't see her rush out of the room
her clothes in hand
proof I didn't see the make-up running down her face
proof I didn't see the gears turning in her brain
that she just made a mistake
What she didn't say
I'm sorry
What she didn't say
I can't stay
What she didn't say
I don't drink
What she didn't say
I already have a boyfriend
What she didn't say
What she didn't say
was her name wasn't really Lisa
Her name was Annie
but the mirror cracks in half
as I repeat the words I didn't say
the words I didn't say
How idiotic am I
Lisa...
how was I so stupid
Chad...
How will I explain this to Chad
and Julianne 
she was supposed to be my best friend
yet drunk and abandoned she left me, unguarded
at a party for 100
Chad
how could I betray his trust
Chad
how dare I
Can I face you again
Do I dare run over to your house
scale the chain link fence
climb through your window
whisper that I love you as I pull you out of your clothes
and say my tale to you
while you whisk yourself in a dream
while we dream in each other's arms
just so I dont feel the guilty sting...
What she didn't say
What I didn't say
'I love you'
Chad deserved it 
yet Jamie heard it
What she didn't say
What I didn't say
'I'll miss you'
Chad was to hear it last night
but Jamie found it slip through my lips
after he stole a kiss
Annie...
Annie...
She was so foolish, so stupid
I am so foolish, so stupid
