I had that need to communicate, before I knew what I was going to say I knew what You meant to me and I knew I was sad But nothing seemed to say what I wanted you to hear I knew I was missing you and I knew you missed her But I thought just for a minute that you might've been my cure I knew I'd been hurt: left thinking one thing but you brought me to believe in another I thought I knew not to love but I guess I forgot I thought I could assume you'd be more than a man I'd have to tolerate I thought I knew never to assume, but I guess I expected I would've been more careful So I might have had thoughts but I guess I wasn't thinking: Im at the same place I was then Im closer to who I was, now then who I've recently been Im in the same pair of shoes I swore Id never have to wear again But despite all cautiousness, you're now not only my past but the pain of my future Maybe I shouldn't have anticipated your love Perhaps that would have subsided some of the peer pressure Possibly that could have brought us closer All I know is that we could've been happy, but you chose her And now Im stuck accepting your convoluted conjectures Mostly because your so scared of the unfamiliar.

Driven by Harsh Thoughts of Love
