Flipped switch

Flipped switch

Flipped like a switch

Why’d we end up like this?

When so little ago,

it’d be me that you’d miss

I held you so close

and now you’re unknown

Heard you moved towns

right when we happened

and I see you acting

as if I were old-fashioned

but truth be told

tonight I’ll be bold

Lashed out,

forgot all about me

New friends, new job, new house

All spread for me to see

My friends have had enough

they don’t seem to agree

Gave in to my urges,

and called out your name

Prayed you had your guard down

but you stayed the same

Stuck-up and arrogant

Was I just a game?
