After all of the seconds, all of the moments
I ran out of breath and tried not to show it
Marked my skin so your scars were my scars too
After all we’ve been through, I was a body to you
Burned my morals, shut my lips
Redefined what true love is
Did whatever you wanted me to do
After all we’ve been through, I was a science to you
Begged me to sleep in your bed
Then told me the next day our love was dead
Told me things felt wrong for a week or two
After all we’ve been through, I was a cradle to you
I was kisses and touches, skin and bones
Animalistic gazes and moans
Torn clothes and dirty sheets
Someone to call and somewhere to sleep
I was your undercover lover, minus the love
Because I was a stepping stone to you
After all we’ve been through
After I cared for you
Even though my heart was true
I was a body to you
