First, You worked on it Night and day All the time Trying to win it over Building it up With sweet nothings And possibilities of something Afterwards, You forgot about it Abandoned it Leaving it alone Without nobody Nobody to own it Lastly, It broke Far from repair Since it was unused It forgot It forgot how to work It had been too long Since anyone had owned it And known how to keep it Now, Its learning And its been remembering Finally it has figured it out That you never owned it It owned itself You couldnt own it Since You werent even worth it
