there are faces

in the crowd

from so many places

you can't scream out loud

.

no remembering

no regrets now

this is it

this is you

no backing down

.

don't think about

what he used to say

leave nothing

to contemplate

.

you used to tell him

that, "one day, i'll run away."

you used to tell him

that, "i'm sick of playing your games."

.

too many people right here

right now

they don't know

don't know about . . .

.

you look back and

see lines on your thighs

you look back and

see black in his eyes

.

nothing here worth standing for

.

good girls don't complain

they deal with the pain

bad boys don't care

they aren't really fair

.

(move on from him. you haven't. not really)
