Stupid of me
Laura Atkinson

for michael

I had so many things that I wanted to say
but I could never break into your day
I guess that should have been answer enough

I know I pulled back early on
and said I'd be just fine if you were gone
Goddamn I wish you'd called my bluff

But did I fuck it up, or was it fucked from the start?
I must not have ever gotten that far into your heart
If you can be so quick to leave me behind

It went from so good to so bad so fast
From present perfect to all in my past
and this hindsight is making me blind
