i didn't know she meant that much
precious sterling, delicate dangling
did i underestimate her flirtatious ways?
or maybe i just thought too highly of myself

so i'll trudge that line between confession and confusion
with the memories of your ghosts haunting me 
taunting me
their presence is alluring to you
and i feel like nothing to you
yet you still tell me i'm special

and i try not to hover 
i fall back into the crowd
you never seemed to notice
but i always feel so drawn to you

and i honestly didn't know you two were so close
precious sterling, delicate dangling
somewhere did you forget about me?
unworthy of sentimentality

and her silver chain is choking me
her silver chain is killing me - inside.
