This is what gets us, trips us, makes us fall apart.

You took every movement, every word, every deed,
bent them in your head and left me to bleed.

Standing here, tall, in the smoke of it all, you will see…

You trot out your stories, your glories, and graces you cannot believe,
then you lit a match, and dispatched any memory of me.

You grabbed me by the heart, from the start.

Every day, in every way, we made each other believe.
In lock step, eye to eye, we were all we would ever need.

Nothing to repent. No ill intent.

Yet, I still grieve those moments of love.

There was no inception, no deception,
I held onto you with no apprehension.

I was the first,
and the last,
one to leave.

Feelings of deep profound love I did not decieve,
And in those moments I still believe.

A thousand denials, I felt how you made me feel.
Another thousand trials, I felt what you made me feel.
The heaps of your wreckage left us in piles.

All because we loved for a little while.

Betrayed by the foundations of love I’d placed my anchors into,
Those tethers neither lifted me up nor did they pull me back down.

Just left me searching for something new,

and a way to land on solid ground.

It was your heart that departed.
You weren’t the man to finish what we started.

When all you had to do was hold me in your arms.

You created my madness.
You loved my madness.
You called me your baby.
Then all was lost in your head.

It was only in the night, you tried to make us right.

Then cast your stones with wicked delight.
You made me your plaything, and it felt alright.

It was your heart that departed.
We couldn’t finish what we started.
The romance we knew would grow,
And we just couldn’t let go.

You created my madness.
You loved my madness.
You called me your baby.

We left it all unsaid,
Then all was lost in your head.

We just crashed down from Jupiter.
You made me the Lupita of your heart.
You were the one who was always gone.
So here I am again, without you tonight.

You called me crazy.
You loved my crazy.
You got drunk on my crazy.
and I let you.

With that midnight smile on my stupid face.
You left our love in outer space.

When all was right I never felt out of place.

It is that time together, our love,
I do not wish to replace.

So here I am again, without you, tonight,
And I just crashed down from Jupiter.
So here I am again, without you, tonight,
And I just crashed down from Jupiter.
