At Least from Jim Kitson by Frank Finighan

AT LEAST.

I've been here before,
Now I think I'm back again.
I thought I'd have heard from you by now.
But no ring at the door,
No calling me to explain.
Is this how people do things now?
This silence just tears and undermines.
I can't believe I thought it was bad last time.

'Cause At Least she had the heart to tell me.
At least she wasn't scared.
At least she had the guts to say
I love someone else and I never really cared about you.

It terrifies me.
It might have never been.
I might have dreamt this whole thing up.
Why couldn't there be
A cinematic final scene.
Cameras and someone yelling cut.
But now I'm frustrated and confused.
It's not that I'm not
Used to being used.
