The line rounded out the circle 
And he is dressed in the colour purple
As a reply to my text 
And I think he only ever wanted sex 
Not the love that I crave
I can hear it in the way he calls her babe
And it knots and it twines 
And it’s full of speeding tickets and fines 
As she tries to slow it down 
And I get bored and dress in brown 
Or nude to mute the tone 
As I hear exasperation on the phone 
And realise I’m happier alone 
And I’m just waiting for you to quit 
I’m wearing a dress and there is a slit 
Right up the side 
The last time you called me a ride 
You took back the engine 
And now whenever you mention 
Me it is in deferent sighs 
And I laugh straight into one of your goodbyes
As you bridge the gap 
The fall that hits you like a slap 
On the cheek, in the face
And you hide behind your mother 
So I’m gonna find another 
Who’ll be man enough for me 
I don’t care about your degree
I’m in love with the music 
And the parts of you that didn’t choose it 
Are left shady by the beach 
On the edge of the pavement that greys your speech 
As you try to concrete the meaning 
But it just sounds demeaning 
And not in the good kind of way 
It’s the lie in what you cannot help but say
