RESET

You said I remembered it wrong
Said typos were all my fault
Backed up the silence we’ve made
In a file with things I don’t talk about
Display flickers like a warning sign
Every truth comes with a rewrite
Read aloud until the lies lost meaning
Somewhere behind the last line

You kept moving the bookmark back
Called control concern
I believed every version of me
That you said I should learn

I hit reset, then dialed a zero
No script, no cues to forget
Punch lines don't lie like you did
Always jokin’ ‘bout what I felt
If I sound different on the phone now
It’s cause I finally stepped
Out of the story you edited
This is my emotional reset

You’d rewrite scenes in real time
Smile while I questioned my lines
Said, softly... that never happened
Like facts could be custom designs
Funny how the story stays honest
When it’s just me and the truth

You kept moving the bookmark back
Called control concern
I believed every version of me
That you said I should learn

I hit reset, then dialed a zero
No script, no cues to forget
Punch lines don't lie like you did
Always jokin’ ‘bout what I felt
If I sound different on the phone now
It’s cause I finally stepped
Out of the story you edited
This is my ‘motional reset

No more blame
dressed up as love
No directions in my head
No deconstruction of my self
No more feelings of dread
Blood flowing like it should
Gonna live my storyline instead

You can't keep moving bookmarks back
Your control's no concern
I deleted every version of me
That you said I should learn

I hit reset, then dialed a zero
No script, no cues to forget
Punch lines don't lie like you did
You always joked about what I felt
If I sound different on the phone now
It’s cause I finally stepped
Out of the story you edited
This is my final reset
