i haven't always been this forgiving 

this turn the other cheeking 

the laugh until we weeping 

the scared until we're seeping

the cry until we're cheating 

i laugh when i'm alone 

always aloud 

i avoid thinking of you -

all my moments alone 

have been yours too 

you hang up the phone 

and your eyes turn me over

i eat and i eat and i eat 

and you know it's never in front of you
