I've Been Thinking Lately
I’ve been thinking lately
Just about us and stuff, and I guess
it made me kinda sad to think that
we have hardly anything in common
It’s true
Don’t know why I never realized it before
Just always trying to keep you walking in my door
So I guess now all that’s left to say is
Thanks for being a friend
Thanks for being there when I needed you
Thanks for being there even when
I didn’t want you to
Love; a word used over-zealously
But did we ever stop to think exactly
how or why our supposed state of love
ever came to be?
Did we?
Turned it ‘round and ‘round in my head
Seriously, it looks to me as though we’re dead
in the water
But just think how great it was while it lasted
All the stuff we did and probably shouldn’t have
Began it once upon my birthday, ended bittersweet
Now six months later together I look back and remember why
I loved you so much more
Before I got too bored
With this whole crazy thing
Please don’t take it personally
Remember, it’s not you, it’s me
Looking for my knight in shining armor
As time went by, yours tarnished darker
Just trying to find the one that’s right for me
You always say I’m pushing you away
I never noticed it, but if you say so then okay
because there’s always a reason for everything
even though we rarely ever see it ‘til the end
I call you conservative, you call me weird
You never look at me when my eyes tear up
or I’ve got something to say
But anyway…
Well, maybe it’s better this way
