"I Didn't Change My Number" • Billie Eilish (by Christian Garduno)


If you’re still out there

I hope it worked for you

just wanted to let you know

I forgive you for leaving


You wouldn’t want me to tell you about her

I already know what you would say

but just between me and you, y’know

it was all a bit of Monroe & Bardot


Umbrellas in the shadows of the Moon

starving but we have Dylan for breakfast

wondering if you’re really part of the show

it’s a wonder we didn’t catch fire ourselves


Our skins rattled off like another sunrise

re-charging your blind eye

your dreams got indignant

the wolves are panting at your pant-leg


We see our reflection in the stone

I’ll be on the Left Bank

only he, she, and God knows

and two of them are Dead
