Common ground for a wallflower

Just when I had everything figured out,
I let too many words open my small mouth,
He held me once in a room,
It was unattended, and it tasted of an artist's perfume.
He graced my naked back.
My only sheet was a black dress,
Woke up to a cold windy city,
Woke up trying to keep the memory,
I was poisoned into lying through my teeth,
While his words were spoken only truthfully,
Lost my shoes in the mud,
Walked away clean, trying to be tough,
I was trying to be tough.

There's nothing in between love and hate,
When it comes down to it,
So you can walk clean away,
Or you can act in the play,
That we so easily put on for them.

There was residence of hope in my heart,
Til' I got dealt the unlucky card,
Though the buildup was fun, The letdown wasn't worth it all,
So I stole us our midnight drinks,
And he got dealt our morning fix,
Then we let the honesty pour,
Until it knocked us out into a deep sleep, into a bad dream,
Is this a bad dream?
He said he used to be like me,
A musical mess, depressed, with anxiety,
My ears only took half of his advice,
Happiness comes so easily to him,
For me it's a fight, it's always been a fight.

There's nothing in between lovers and friends,
When it comes down to it,
So you've made up your mind, and I'm not worth your time, but I can be useful in your life,
I'll push the pedal in deep, you're in the passanger seat, I'll get is there as fast as I can,
So we can go our seperate ways, I mean this was just a stage of the rest of our lives,
I'm growing too weak to fight, At least I gave you a try...

I just spoke too soon.
Did I speak too soon?

spoken:
I'd like to think I'm not anyone, but another someone. Someone as real as a lie, and someone as fake as the truth. I contain a caged heart, and 3 year-old boots. And sometimes, I speak too soon.
