Back when
we used to gather after school
And shoot
some hoops or even pool
And you let
me wear your hoodie
Cause even
though we were ‘Just friends’
Everyone
would know to keep their hands off
Because back
then we were everything and nothing
And I think
I told you no so many times, you knew I was bluffing
You always
swore you’d wait until one day I’d break
But it
seems my ability to outlast and outstay you
Really kept
me the winner
That line
is getting thinner
Back when
we used to walk in the frost
And you’d
take some perverse joy in the mere thought
That you
could crush my frozen fingers with yours
And pretend
that the pain was for a greater cause
Because
back then we were everything and nothing
And I told
you to fuck off far too fucking often
But you
always swore you’d wait until one day I’d break
But you
never really counted on a silly thing like fate
It kept me
the winner
That line’s
been getting thinner
Back when I
wrangled the truth from you
In choked
out sobs
Because my
childish cruelty could never get enough
Not enough
of you and being drunk on my power
And how I
could still hurt you after your love turned sour
Because
back then we were still everything and nothing
And I go
back there in my mind ever so often
Just to
visit that place
Of a comfy
status quo
Just to
find out what I already know
I will
never be able to do as you
There’s one
thing I love
And my ego
gets bruised
So I set
you on fire
And I
played with the flames.
Whenever
you fight back
It just
means I win.
