Conquest
You had it set in my mind that you were my next.
Did you get that little box finalized and checked?
That's all I was, right?
Just in your line of sight.
A conquest you hadn't gotten yet?
Something to win, or even a bet?
Were you using me to hurt someone else?
Was everything a lie you said that you felt?
You were more scared than I was.
You never even wanted an us.
You knew you couldn't live up to the standards.
How do you feel now that it is all backwards?
