Instead - Emma Blackery

I don’t know how

To let you go

It’s been six months now

I hear the sound

Of all the rumours about you

Going round

They say you moved on in just two weeks

How could it be so easy

For you to forget me

And now you’ve moved in with all your friends

And you don’t think of me

Before bed

And you’ll be kissing her

When you should be kissing me instead

And you’ll be kissing him

When you should be kissing me instead

And in your head

You flicked the switch

And called me a friend

You don’t love yourself

Enough to keep away

From someone else

And your ex girlfriend’s asked you out

And I can’t see you

Turning her down

Because you’re too scared to be alone

And yet I’ve been here

All along

And you’ll be missing her

When you should be missing me instead

And you’ll be missing him

When you should be missing me instead

And you keep twisting this

And making me an enemy in your head

So you’ll be kissing them

When you should be kissing me instead

I’d rather you be happy

Than make you fall in love with me

But you’re thinking of a lover and

I’m fearing that I’ll never love again

I’d rather you be happy

Than make you fall in love with me

But you’re thinking of a lover and

I’m fearing that I’ll never love again

I don’t know how

To let you go

It’s been six months now

I hear the sound

Of all the rumours about you

Going round

And you’ll be kissing her

When you should be kissing me instead

And you’ll be kissing him

When you should be kissing me instead

And you keep twisting this

And making me an enemy in your head

So you’ll be kissing them

When you should be kissing me instead
