You Were my Lover

We did that
It was messy but that's where the lust lay
When the guilt bit hard
You wanted to be friends
We all know that's bullshit
Crash and burn lullaby
Nobody survives that unscathed

Then finally we became nothing
I don't hate you
I don't feel nothing
I don't even want to grudge fuck ya
Remember the old days
Bending you over my work desk
On overtime no less
Getting paid for our sins
That was something

We are a zero sum babe
I don't know if you cheated on me
We were already cheating on someone else
How does that cut
Chop meat that's how
Lovers don't eat rib eye steaks
They drink and grunt and get their freak on
You go home to Joe
Maybe you'll pass me in the gutter
Littered in shame but not sorry
