Red Rover

Bad faith conversations across the dinner table
Red Rover come on over if you are able
Sweetness of the sauce to balance out the bitter
I don't seem enthused but you know I've always been a quitter

Try to hash it out but end up so bruised and broken
Recount it much later on as if it were unspoken
Glances from the others I get for association
Try to stay above it even though I am complacent

Red Rover I loved you
Now I hardly know you
Look at what they told you
Red Rover I loved you
