last month i saw you dancing between someone else's arms
at the beat of the song i wrote for you
and i couldn't help but think to myself
what a slut

do you smile at them
like you used to smile at me?
how can you show
the hidden corners of the heart
that once was my home?

how do you dare to love her
like you used to love me?
how do you dare to love her
with the heart that loved me?

somebody out there is drinking the tears
you always refused to give me;
i guess you enjoyed letting me die dehydrated

your tongue, sharp as a switchblade
writes your name on the back
of every flower you wither
just as you did to me,
and i said thank you

you're sharing
the parts of the body that so many times
i kissed,
stroked, felt...
loved

you're opening the heart
that with so much effort i had to warm by myself
until i ended up frozen

you're showing
that specific spark i used to see in your eyes
when i wore your favorite knee socks around my house,
you're letting others look you in the eyes
and whisper sweet words between wasted walls

you share every part
of your heart and mind
as the slut you are
