by Neo Jackson
We've all been there
I've been standing at this crossroads since the day that we began
I've been counting every silence every crack in every plan
You think I don't see it you think I don't know
But I've watched the seeds you've planted and I've watched them grow
Into something ugly into something wild
Into something that destroyed the trusting foolish child
Who once believed your stories who once drank your wine
Who once thought your heart was anything like mine
I am gonna count to three
And you're gonna hear me
One for all the lies you told
Two for all the times I sold
Myself short just to keep you pleased
And three is for the door
And what it's for
So get your things and leave
I am gonna count to three
Doesn't break for you
Doesn't make for you
A single goddamn exception
So don't you open that mouth of yours
Don't you start with your "of courses"
Don't you dare say my name
Like it's still part of your game
Because the game is over
The player has left the table
And you are not even able
To see what you've lost
I am gonna count to three!
And you ARE gonna hear me!
ONE!For every night I waited!
TWO!For every fight I faked it!
THREE!FOR EVERYTHING YOU TOOK
FROM THE PAGES OF MY BOOK!
I AM GONNA COUNT TO THREE!
AND THEN YOU'RE NOTHING TO ME!
And after you're gone what then
Just the sound of my own voice again
Just the quiet I've been missing
Just the life I should be living
I'm not afraid of alone
I'm not afraid of my own
I've been alone in crowded rooms
I've been alone under full moons
So take your noise
Take your need
Take your poison seeds
I am gonna count to three
One
You could say something You could try But we both know it won't change anything
Two
You had all the time in the world And you spent it on everything but us
Three
I didn't think so
