The Smart Guy

Alex is a smart guy
He knows how to play the game
He tells her he likes her a little
And then he pretends that he doesn't anymore
And she suddenly wonders what happened
She wonders if it is something she's done
And she wonders what Alex is thinking
And she wonders about Alex a lot
And in her mind Alex becomes ellusive
Seductive and strong
Harboring some secret hatred
And she hoped and doesnt that its against her
Alex is a smart guy
He knows what to do next
He calls her late when she is sleeping
But then won't answer her texts
And makes cryptic facebook statuses
And has inside jokes with all her friends
And she suddenly feels so mixed up
And she suddenly wonders why she feels this way
And she begins to questions what Alex means to her
And wonders more about that boy
Alex is a smart guy
He knows this cannot last
Because he only knows how to play the game
He doesn't know how to make it last
He only knows that now he has to make it end
Because someone is going to get hurt and lose face
And Alex has played the game too long
He cannot lose even if he tries
So she doesn't know why he starts giving her attention
And she doesn't know why but she's glad that he does
And she doesn't know why but she's losing interest
And she doesn't know why but she thinks she might be done
Alex is a smart guy
He knows how to play the game
Alex is a smart guy
But he doesn't know how to get out
