She walks out the door
with a paper bag of memories in her hand.
He's too tired to stop her in her tracks
and say "Hey won't you come back down?"

He slouches in his chair
And polishes off the cereal
From the box.

This is not the first time that he's seen
Everything between
Obsession and reality fade away.

He says "I made a point to never say forever.
I made a point to never say forever."

She calls him on the phone
Says "Guess I should have known from the begining.
You boys are all the same.
I never should have trusted you, I never should have trusted you."

He says "I made a point to never say forever.
I made a point to never say forever.
'Cause every time I give up anything
You break me. So let's just keep it casual this time.

"If I don't say forever.
Then you can't guess I ever would.
You can't guess I'll fall apart."

He picks up a pen
and writes it all down on a napkin
This will be the last time that he ever may think
"I'm finally gonna be alone.
It's all that I can be."
