When it says you’re online I’ve learned not to believe it
Because I know that that smiley face isn’t the truth
And when messenger bolds your name and your presence
I try to hold back my need to message you

When you say that you’re fine I’ve learned not to believe it
Because I know that your grinning mouth isn’t a saint
And when time and persistence convince it to fade
I try to hold back my need to relate

When you say that you love me I’ve learned not to believe it
Because I know that your warm embrace isn’t ignorant
And when hugs are in ending, as often they do
I try to hold back my need to dwell on it

When you say that you need me I’ve learned not to believe it
Because I know that your weakness right now will soon fade
And when your use of me dwindles, since it always does
I try to hold back my need to degrade

When you say that you’re with me I’ve learned not to believe it
But I can’t convince myself on that subject, it seems
And when you’re truly not with me I really can’t stand it
I try to decide what everything means
