full transparency

Now I know, what it’s like

Sitting alone in this room tonight

There’s an indent, on your old chair

I can’t fit it so all I do is stare

And I wander off in my mind

Remembering when you were still mine

Now I’m dancing in the kitchen,

with your ghost 

And this heartbreak in remission 

Now you’re somewhere

I don’t know

And you’re someone 

I don’t know

And I’m still me

The one you couldn’t see

Your face in front of me 

Full transparency 

Now I see, the other side 

Walking down the same street tonight

There’s a light on, at our old house

Somebody else must live there now

And I wonder, if they noticed

The small stain on the carpet

Where I spilled a little red wine

Dancing to another song you liked

Now you’re somewhere

I don’t know

And you’re someone 

I don’t know

And I’m still me

You chose not to see

Your face in front of me 

Full transparency 

You always looked right through me

Swore you never knew me 

Even when I showed you all along 

It’s a pity really, should have seen more clearly

All the ways we were wrong

Now you’re another story 

And I’m a mistake

A caution tale told at the bar

And it’s funny to me, 

So amusing 

How my love for you lives on  

Now you’re somewhere I don’t know

And you’re someone I don’t know 

And I’m somewhere you used to know

Now I’ve got to let go
