So Don’t Believe Me
Music and lyrics by Deborah Stokol, April 2010. Performed by Deborah Stokol, April 2010.
You told me
you don’t mind
that I called you on the line
But I know I should have
held off
since we’re done
And though it warmed me
to hear you
hear you say
that you missed me
that you missed me
every night and every day
I should have held off
here because
now I can imagine her
with her smell
and her hair
upon your sheets
It’s alright;
it’s not your fault
It was I who said ‘let’s stop’
but there’s nothing I can do now here but cry
So don’t believe me
when I say
when I say that I’m ok
’cause I miss you every night and every day
And there’s nothing we can do
we can do
but face our lives
we’re apart
and time will pass us
any way
So don’t believe me
when I say
when I say that I’m ok
’cause I miss you every night and every day.
