I'm waiting for the moment
when you realize I'm no good
That look in your eye
when you feel my falsehood

It's not as if I lied
I'm honest to a fault
I've just failed so many times
Disappointing is my default

I'm waiting for the other foot,
that heavy boot, to drop
I'll curl up in my hovel,
and let my heart beat to a stop

Surely you can see it,
I haven't tried to hide
I'm scared that you'll undo me
after all my tears have dried
