Oh, everything that you want from me,
and everything you were, I would eventually be.
So I'll float around just to inherit all your bad habits.
I feel if you had the choice, you wouldn't have changed a thing.
Because your heart and your mind have been separated for too long. It'll be okay; once in a while we're all wrong.
I never expected you to believe me, but I know I speak for the whole room when I say, "Just let it go."
Because your heart and your mind have been separated for too long. It’ll be okay; once in a while we're all wrong.
Because your heart and your mind have been in my life for too long.
I have a feeling it'll be okay.
Now I'll take my turn writing you back,
expecting nothing short of the answers in return
to the questions I have and the questions you lack,
and the things I’ll never tell you because of the bones in my back.
I've always expected you to leave me, but I know I speak for myself when I say, "Just let me go."
And all I can say is I'm tired of being left out of the truth,
because all I have been is a man of my word.
Oh, I can't help but to think the worst for you.
It's part of my nature to put myself first.
