i know where

I don’t know where the body is

I love her, I swear I do

I know everywhere she WAS—the movies, the café, her beat-up sedan, plastered across my wall in a million blurry photos...

She loved me, I know she did

She was in my heart. And I was in hers.

I didn’t mean to hurt her, I didn’t

And then she was outside the library, screaming that she’d never met me. Never loved me.

She hurt me so bad, it was only fair

Never loved me.

It was only fair

Now she’s safe to admit that she loves me. Now she’s safe.

She deserved so much better than my shallow-dug grave

She’s at peace.

It doesn’t matter where the body is, it doesn’t matter

I don’t know where the body is.

She lives on in my heart, that’s all she needs
