Sam Shelton - Evening Wear

Waited there, until it was 10 pm
You promised you would meet me then
But you never showed

Checked my phone,
You never even sent a text
I knew just what was coming next
Found my own way home

Standing there, on the corner
In my evening wear
Trying to act as if it didn't care
In the middle of nowhere

Was it a dream, we laid on the pudding green
Cooling
The sprinklers came on, our clothes came off
We stayed until the sun came on

And shared our love, our secret

But the heat, it's all to stand
I can't breathe, I scratch my skin
Until I bleed, and somehow it feels good

Wrong or right, you kissed me on my porch last night
I stayed up till the morning light
Saying hello to emptiness

It's all my fault
I should've lied to you
And played the part
If I was smart
I would have memorized
The perfect lines
Never shared my secrets.
