I woke up this morning
With a smile on my face
Only for it to diminish
When the truth dawned on me

We're over
That's said if you even had a relationship to begin with
But ours wasn't a relationship, was it?

No
It wasn't
So I didn't know what else to say
Does it just end like that?
Is there even a phrase for the breaking up of non-existent relationships?

Or do I just ignore you?
Tomorrow
When I see you
5:45 pm
Chilling with your mates
Under the old oak tree
In the park across the street
Do I just act like we never knew each other?
Do I look straight through you?

Truth is
I don't know how this works
I've never been in this type of situation

I guess that's what it all narrows down to
Communication
And trust
I had so much trust in you
You had no honesty
Nada
Zilch
None
Zero

And that's what made the smile on my face disappear
I could've started my day happy
You just had to ruin it

Now I can't even enjoy my favourite day of the year
Without thoughts of you haunting me

Your straight white teeth
I only caught a glimpse of them when you talked
Because you never smiled when you were with me
I thought it would get better in time
That I'd grow on you
I didn't, after all

Your nose
Straight, but slightly crooked
Nuzzling into my neck
Whenever I said something particularly dumb
I always thought that was to hide your amusement
Was it to hide your annoyance instead?

Your eyes
They were your best feature
I think they still are
The way they darken when you're angry

You were always angry
Angry at Jim and Tom
And countless other guys
All looking to know me
I was your property
And you were my owner
You didn't want anyone else in that equation
And I guess, when you add the two
You get heart break
At least, in our case
In my case

Cause I don't think you're heartbroken right now
I really don't think you are

I didn't want to be heartbroken today
I didn't expect to be
This is a special day
I was supposed to wake up happy
Talk to my mom happy
Eat my breakfast happy
And then spend the rest of the day watching re-runs of my favourite shows
Only to sneak out at midnight and meet up with you
Always for you
Only for you

That was another flaw
I now realise that our relationship, if we could ever call it that, wasn't a very good one
It wasn't particularly right either

You were always unhappy
No matter what I did
And you always seemed to get unhappier
Every time I tried something new

Now I'm stuck here
Sitting in my bed
Feeling the loss

I shouldn't be feeling this way
It was definitely not a relationship
At least not to you
Not to them
And not to everyone

Tell me what to do
Tell me what to do
