I thought you were different.
I thought you were the one.
I thought
that you were the kind
who could save me from solitude
and give me a legacy
and allow me
to live in the company of equals
but
it turns out
you’re no different
from any of the others
and when you’ve taken enough from me
learned of my considerable faults
you’ve got your escape plan ready
and you’re parachuting away.

You’re the same as the rest.
You’ve had your fun
and now you’re gone.
You’re the same as the rest.
You’re frightened
and you’re gone.
You’re the same as the rest.
You’re gone.

I really thought this time it would be different.
I really believed you’d be different
but that’s the very same thing
I think every single time.
