I’m still not over you
It’s been so long
I’m so done

I still lay in bed and wonder why I wasn’t good enough
Even now if you called me and said you loved me
Or even that you cared
I would run straight back to you
And I hate myself for that

I just want to be over you
But I still want you to be in my life
I still want to talk to you
I still care
I will always care

Life, may or may not be about finding true love
But, it's certainly not about begging for it from someone so
I'll keep doing the things that I do
Late nights, fat blunts, pizza pies with my crew
Driving home from whatever bar's half-off after two
While I'm blasting my favorite tunes and
Seeing my favorite local bands at whatever venues
While you keep doing the things that you do, shifting blame, and twisting truth
And making absolutely positively sure that everybody in the room is certain
That the victim just had to be you, well

I'll keep doing the things that I do
And I'll find someone who wants me like I wanted you
So sing along at a show this weekend
Act a fool, get drunk with these friends, that you love
Someone somewhere said all good things end
So what in my mind made me think this time would be different
Not by me but from a song called flannel

I’m in love with a mystery
I never see him in the same place
But I feel him in the breeze

He is a warm summer night
Driving in the car with your friends
Listing to your favorite music

He is a thunderstorm
Sitting inside with your dog
Listing to the pitter patter of the rain
And the occasional crash of thunder

He is a spring flower
A gentle breeze
A drop of water

He is an ocean
A tornado
A hurricane

And I love him
But he could never love me
And I could never make him

He pretends he’s okay
But I know he feels only dismay
On the outside he seems fine
But he doesn’t think he’s worth a dime
He says he loves too much
But I know he doesn’t love me as such
I hope one day he’ll see
That getting help can set you free
It’s okay to tell people your hurting
Because we all know you aren’t deserving
I wish you would stop faking
Because it’s just more sadness you’re making
Everyday you wear this mask
And I always ask
If you are okay
And you always say everything’s going your way

But I want you to know
I see you
The real you
That’s the boy I fell in love with
And I know they will love you too

I thought it was what I wanted
To hear those few fatal words
Those 3 heartbreaking words

As you whispered them
It wasn’t what I dreamed

Because I know you didn’t mean them
And it ruins it all the same

But I still think about it
And pretend you care
But deep down I think  
I know
That I am the last thing on your mind

You’re amazing
I love you
Everyone does
At first I didn't understand why they did
Then I saw you, the real you
The you that you don’t let them see
The kind, funny, broken little boy
Who’s just as sad as the rest of us
I love everything about you
That’s what I thought at least

Maybe I’m just in love with the idea of you
The idea of us
The idea that we could be together and you wouldn’t care what they think
The idea that you could love me with everything you have

Maybe it’s not an idea and it’s more of a dream
I dream that I’m your everything
That you live for me
But this kind of stuff only happens in dreams
And besides who could ever love me
