10, 000

1,000 metaphors from my mind can't keep the thoughts from escaping.

2,000 truths from you doesn't start the silver's breaking.

3,000 tears for the wrong purpose doesn't make it right.

4,000 times I've begged you to let it end tonight.

5,000 wailes to the wall.

6,000 times I've yelled stop but you never hear the call.

7,000 things I've written to get it off my chest.

8,000 times I've had to reassure you you're the best.

9,000 times you asked if it was true.

10,000 rhymes I've made but they don't mean shit so long as I'm the only one to read them.

9 times out of 10 they were lies, but not at the time.

So stop your bitching and walk into your new life.

For true love needs no reassurance, lies.
