I'm Not Stupid

Umbrella cracked, coat pulled tight
Your voice still echoes in the night
Thought I wouldn't hear, thought I'd stay blind
But I caught the pieces you left behind
You smiled like you meant it, talked so sweet
But your story folded in the street

I played along for far too long
But now I see where I went wrong

I'm not stupid, I can read the space
Between your words, behind your face
You fed me silence, wrapped in care
But love don't hide like it's not there
I may forgive, I might move on
But don't mistake me for someone gone
I'm not stupid, I always knew
Even lies wear shades of truth

The rain taps out what you never said
Each drop a truth I should've read
I held my tongue, gave you room
But trust won't grow inside a tomb
Your phone lights up, a name you hide
You looked away, and so did I

But I've learned to see through dim-lit things
And not all love comes wearing rings

I'm not stupid, I felt the shift
The hollow laugh, the quiet drift
You dressed your guilt in tired lines
And kissed me like you crossed a line
I may forgive, I might be kind
But don't pretend I've lost my mind
I'm not stupid, I know this game
Even silence speaks a name

I won't yell, I won't cry
But don't expect a lullaby
I'll walk away, I'll leave the scene
With dignity you've never seen

I'm not stupid, don't wear that mask
I stopped believing when you stopped asking
I gave my love, you played your part
But I still own my broken heart
So walk your line, enjoy your thrill
I'm gone, but I know better still
I'm not stupid, I saw it all
And this time, I won't fall
