I like you, but I can't like you.
      One step back.
You need me? Well I need you.
      But let's not move too fast.
I want you, but I can't want you.
      Two more steps back.
Girlfriend? I want a girlfriend!
      But I'm not sure that you're it.
I love you, but I can't love you.
      Not like that.
Regrets? I regret nothing.
      But we can't do it again.
I'd stop this, but I can't stop this.
      We're circling the drain.
Lose you? I can't lose you.
      But I'm causing you pain.

Wait, you're done now? This is the end?
      What do you mean you can't even be my friend?
You mean you didn't have fun playing my games?
      What do you mean you don't like to be driven insane?
I mean, no I haven't figured out exactly what I want.
      Well, I thought I knew, but I guess I forgot.

Hello? Hello? Are you there?
      Women are so complicated... Man, I swear.
