Separate Bills

(album: The Way It Would Be - 2021)

We go out and drink all night
You shuffle in close and it feels so nice
When it's time to call it quits
They bring one bill and we ask to get it split
And we'll leave here in separate cars
You'll go to him and I'll go to another bar
And meet up with a real close friend
Probably be told that this should end

You've already got somebody to go back to
But I find myself wanting to tell you
That you don't have to go back

So I try seeing other people
And let you know just how it goes
That you and I are always candid
There's very few things you don't know
But I got something to tell you
I just haven't had a chance to yet
That I'm falling in love with you, I've been
Falling for you since we met

You've already got somebody to go back to
But I find myself wanting to tell you
That you don't have to go back

But then the stark realization
That I may never have you or hold you or get you alone for the night
But I knew all of that when I let myself fall for someone who's loved somebody else
And has for some time
