Playing Pretend

[00:02.41] The ash of her cigarette still lingers
[00:09.47] As she slammed the door, I touched it straight with my fingers
[00:16.62] Left me a note with scribbled cues and a twenty
[00:23.72] It's getting late and still no sign of returning
[00:31.04] I miss you, but it's my cue to march on
[00:36.86] You said, "I love you, let's start anew," but I'm far gone
[00:46.76]
[00:59.77] The school bell rings at three o'clock, now I'm waiting
[01:06.79] I'm pacing and replaying the promise you made me
[01:13.98] Mothers and daughters reuniting with laughter
[01:21.03] All I have are your empty words I sought after
[01:28.32] I miss you, but it's my cue to march on
[01:34.18] You said, "I love you, let's start anew," but I'm far gone
[01:42.88] I'm not mad, I'm not sad
[01:47.00] I've accepted that loneliness is not a sin
[01:55.20]
[01:57.30] Just me at my notepad
[02:02.26] The only time I let my sadness win
[02:09.60]
[02:12.14] As time goes on, I surrender
[02:19.46] I'll always remember that
[02:25.52] I miss you, but it's my cue to march on
[02:31.45] You said, "I love you, let's start anew," but I'm long gone
[02:40.95] I catch myself driving by one winter
[03:01.58] The ash of her cigarette still lingers
[03:11.47]
