Misunderstanding
Must be the reason for this
I don't know anything
And I am basing my thoughts
Off of misguided feelings.
But what breaks my heart
Is that I messed up again.
How can I fix this?
Is there no place for friendship
In these tangled emotions?
I'm planning my life,
Organizing the hours,
And counting the days.
And I find there is no place
For wasting my time on you.
Wasting time worrying, wasting time on trying to impress you, wasting time trying so hard for someone who doesn't care.
Don't hurt yourself
    because you're hurting.
Don't break yourself
    because your heart's breaking.
I know you're sinking, drowning,
    tearing apart inside.
But someday I see you smiling
    And that's why I keep loving.
I liked you first
when I realized that I wanted to be alone
but not as much as I didn't want you to be
am I a fool
for enjoying every moment
and am I a fool
for not forgiving myself?
I thought I could put you in a box
I was wrong
I thought I could work you out like math
I was wrong

I thought this was what you'd say
You said something else
I thought you were one way
You were another

But it was the same about me

I tried to put myself in a box
I tried to work myself out like math
But I'm more than that,
And I can't figure it out

I thought I was supposed to say this
But I should have said something else
I thought I was one way
But I was another

I tell myself that I don't know you
But I don't know me

And that is much worse.
