Out of the Picture

A Mere Formality

Here you were, thinking you needed to talk to someone

Telling him or her about how you need to heal from this loving

And along came this brother who, you trust so dearly

And he says, let her be, she isn't worth it

But then you keep trying to keep away but you can't help it

You see her everyday, admire and yet, still say nothing

Can't get her off your mind and she rules your sleep in your dreams

You tell her and then she says No, you came at the wrong time

And your friend says. "I told you, let her go bro"

And then you decide to pretend she never existed

But then you know a part of you is missing instead

It's like having a jam but still, without a good loaf of bread

You decide if you gonna part ways, at least there must be a reason

So you dress up, take a cab, knock on her doorstep

And she opens the door, let's you in,

Offers you a sofa to seat

And you speak out all the words in your heart

Tell her how much you miss her and how it tears you apart

But suddenly she said she is with someone else

And you are down casted and beaten about how you lost this pretty gem

Even though she said she hated relationships

Less than a month she is seeing yet another dude

And she says "please leave, my boyfriend would be here soon"

A knock on the door meanwhile she is in the kitchen, cooking Italian stew

You, rushing over to open the door

A startled face as it was a figure with a rose and a chocolate box

Just as you look from the feet to the head

You realise it was that friend who said she wasn't good enough instead.
