I know this girl downtown but I forgot her name

When we see each other we always talk about the same

Things

About our boys, about our girls, about our engagement

Rings

But we never tell the truth

But we never lie

I suppose that’s how I am in life

I suppose that’s how I’ll die

It was about us

Us

Us

I suppose that’s how I’ll die-it was about us

-

I know this girl downtown but I forgot her face

But every time I see her I remember our place

We’d talk we’d laugh, we’d cry, we’d vaguely lie

I suppose that’s how I’ll die

We talked about us

We talked about life

We talked about the time I was in my kitchen

Ready with that knife

But we never tell the exact truth

But we don’t sell a legitimate lie

I suppose that’s how I’ll die

It was about us- but I suppose that’s how I’ll die

-

I know this girl downtown but now she’s dead

Turns out she was scared and fled

Got hit by a car on the way

Turns out there’s some things she didn’t say

To me

She didn’t tell the truth

But she never told me a lie

That’s how she did die

But it’s about her

And it’s about me

And how it would have been better but harder

To talk openly

For me

It was about us- I suppose that’s how I’ll die

It was about us

She never told the truth, she never needed to sell a lie

But she never said anything to me

That’s how I think she did die

So will I
