I trusted you
And maybe, that was the problem
I trusted you
Maybe, too much
"What's your favourite colour?"
I didn't know that

I should've known better
I had known better
But when it comes to you
All my senses seem to fly
Out the window
Through the door
Away

I should've known better
I let you go
Countless times
By yourself
Your buddies as company
I let you go

Maybe I should've held on tighter
Never loosened the leash
Maybe if I kept track of you
I wouldn't be here
Maybe if I just listened to my friends

I couldn't call them friends now, anyways
I couldn't call her a friend
I would never

I knew from the start
You liked everybody
At least you were honest about that
Not too honest, it seems
"What's your favourite colour?"

I was straight with you
From the start
"There's only you"
"Forever and always"
"I lo-"

No
I can't think about that
I was honest with you
I gave you everything
But turns out it wasn't everything you wanted
It was everybody
At least I got the first part of the word correct
"What's your favourite colour?"

Such complex things they are
Words
So many meanings
So many spellings
So many words

You knew how to talk
You've learnt words
I guess you forgot them when it came to me, huh?
I used to think that was a good thing
I took that as being lovestruck

Turns out you wasn't
It was one sided all along
Me always giving
You always taking

Come to think of it
I don't know anything about you
About your family
"What is your favourite colour?"
You never believed in that

You wanted a whirlwind
Just rushing through
Never stopping for a breather

In a way, you are a whirlwind in my life
Coming in and taking everything
Destroying my trust
Destroying my heart
Destroying me

I wanted something more
From the beginning
All I ever wanted was your attention
And then time dragged on and I found myself wanting
Something that you said you couldn't give
Countless times
"What's your favourite colour?"

I still hoped
And maybe my mistake was standing in the way
Maybe my mistake was stopping
Pausing
And just reflecting

Whirlwinds don't stop
They don't pause
And they certainly don't reflect
That is what our relationship was
A whirlwind
That's what you were too
And that's what I forced myself to be

I see it now
The signs
There were countless
Innumerable
Immeasurable
Signs
They were all there
Right from the moment after I asked you
"What's your favourite colour?"

You didn't want it to go that far
You didn't want it to get personal
If I was just another dry leaf, why didn't you cut me off?
Why did you string me along?

They were empty promises
Sweet nothings
Chocolate coated rocks
Maybe I was blind then
But I see it now
Boy, do I see it now

I'm not naive anymore
I'm not clueless
I guess, in a way, my subconscious suspected
Knew from the very beginning
"What's your favourite colour?"

I guess I was ready for it
When I heard you were upstairs
I was ready for it

I saw you
With her
But also with him

You
With my best friend
And your best friend

That was all I needed
I needed to know
To see for myself
I heard whisperers
Gossiping
I heard rumours
Flying

I just wanted confirmation
And now that I got it
I don't know what to do

Tell me what to do
Tell me what to do
