i'm not going to give you the happy story,
the smiling pieces to make a dream catcher
that you think just might solve it all

i just wanted to see how you were doing,
to see if you remembered me

and i'm not going to give you the sad story,
the tears inside the broken clock stuck at 6:16,
the time you left me for good

you just wanted to see if i'd forfeit the game,
letting you have the glory again

the stories are almost the same
almost the way the books have them written

i took the batteries out of all the watches you gave me
and i'm tearing the pictures out of their frames;
the light bulbs are almost able to show it all

when you asked who i was,
i knew the wrinkles on my face
hid the imprint of your lies

and i decided to remain
anonymous.
