On the night bus fear trapped me
As I remembered exactly
What you told me as you left me
And my heart sank directly
I'm reeling, feeling so alone
And breaking, shaking straight to my bones

So, she said please forgive me
And walk on with me
But it never felt the same
Her words stung like a bullet through me
Never thought it would happen to me
But now it's happening again

In the morning as I wake up
I'm hit with the taste of
The memories you gave me
And the ways that you played me
I'm hating, waiting here for your call
And wasting, tasting bitter remorse

So, she said please forgive me
And walk on with me
But it never felt the same
Her smile shook me to the ceiling
This is a game of giving and receiving

I spent two hours waiting
Outside the underground
While it was raining
I had to turn around
And start tracing
My footsteps back through town
Heartbeat racing
As the sun was going down

Time after time
You left me behind
A smile on your face
You gave me no sign
Of what would come
But now that you're gone
I'm all alone
And I'm moving on

No, I said I can't forgive you
Not after all we've been through
It will never be the same
Her words stung like a bullet through me
Never thought it would happen to me
And now it's happening again
The map is not the territory
It's a very different story
And you're on another page
Her smile shook me to the ceiling
This is a game of giving and receiving
One where I'll give again and again
