Tell Me - Pentimento

If I’m being honest,

then I honestly don’t know why I drove us

both so far away from home.

It showed the distance

between all my words and the truth —

because the truth just isn’t good enough for you.

So tell me where we went wrong.

So I stood by to watch you throw it all away.

You said «i'll miss you but I think I’ll be okay».

If we have to have this conversation,

tell me: what’s the use when

the truth still isn’t good enough for you?

The car ride was quiet with both of us

silently thinking «please let this be the end».
