New Distractions

i can see the writing on the wall
i notice when you talk
in how you pause
i can tell that you
don’t want to get involved
no you’re just lonely
it’s easy cause you know me


so we fall back into
the same patterns
recklessly forget all that matters
we’ll give in to all our old habits
and fight to find
ourselves new distractions


it’s hard to see
when feelings soak the walls
you grab your phone
to see that no one called
you send a text
so you don’t feel so small
all because you’re lonely
i’ll be there girl you know me


so we fall back into
the same patterns
recklessly forget all that matters
we’ll give in to all our old habits
and fight to find
ourselves new distractions
