COUNTING TO NONE, from the collection “Songs About Girls, Vol. I” by RJT
I broke all your promises, I undid all you undone. I don’t know why you comply with this lie that is mine, pretending it’s fun. I know all your weaknesses, consider yourself caught. I don’t know when other men could forsake you and then send you off into the great un-no. I broke all your promises, as if they were mine to break. I don’t know why you don’t supply your own mystery or mistake. So here is where the story ends, said the Actress to the Bishop. I don’t remember why you won’t surrender and just go down with the ship into the deep blue sea. Because you spell yes with two letters and my name with one, in this poorly kept secret that you think is love. Between you and I, the spies they are counting to none. So I wonder why you couldn’t keep it from yourself. Because I broke all your promises.
