I’m writing this to say
In a gentle way
Thank you—but no
I will live my life as I
Will undoubtedly die—alone

I’m writing this to say
In a gentle way
Thank you…
I will live my life as I… oh
For whether you stay or stray
An in-built guilt catches up with you

And as it comes around to your place
At 5 a.m., wakes you up
And it laughs in your face
