Emotions

Just remember,
don't get your hopes up.

she went on an eight hour flight just to see you
don't get your hopes up

she convinced you that she's clean,
convincing was always what she was good at
don't get your hopes up.

she repeated "i'm sorry, i'm sorry" in your ear,
just at the time that you were about to leave her,
don't get your hopes up.

she has done this before
you repeat in your head,
while the saying everyone deserves a second chance
thumps in your skull,
my hopes are up.
