Go Back To It

The demise of a close friend.

You go back to it again
Back on the same tracks
You took the last time
You were down

That smile I’ve seen before
The one you smiled for him
When down in the dark
He never wanted you

You lied to me
Before you went right back
To acting like
Everything was just perfect

You hate yourself
But you’re responsible
Because when I’m not there
You’ll be no one again

Sitting down the alley
I see you stumble down the street
With a new one on your arm
With that same smile

You’re a mess
Yet you still pretend
That after your lies
You’re still perfect
