REBOUND

“Jilted love” is that what it’s called?

Loving somebody who doesn’t love you at all

Only this isn’t from my point of view

He’s the only one in love yet he doesn’t have a clue

Regardless of his gestures, I’ll never feel the same

See he met me when all I knew was hurt and pain

Even though he tried to mend a shattered heart

That only seemed to have drifted us ten feet apart

 

Time went by and we’re still together

It’s been almost a year and love hasn’t gotten better

I think he’s suspicious but doesn’t say a thing

But I knew better when he started drinking

I may have broken him or torn him to shreds

He should have seen it coming, all the flags raised were red

It’s not my fault he should have known

I wasn’t ready for this, so he was just a rebound
