I’m sorry if you wanted something else; A rubber stamp, a milquetoast or a sap. I’m sorry my independent nature is Like giving your face a hefty slap. If it seems I am apologizing for myself To make an excuse for the way things are Trust me when I tell you what I am sorry for Is that I have let this thing go on this far.
Dressing up in formal clothes Won't make us into something fine. As long as we believe a fantasy Soon we will cross some kind of line.
I apologize for not recognizing the signs That told me how you felt about love. The idea that the two of us are equals Was a thing you could not rise above. You couldn’t accept truth was important And only make what we had implausible. The kind of relationship you wanted Was not only wrong, but was impossible.
I guess it got easy for me to fake it And walk around in a huge pink fog, Pretending you were a handsome prince And not accept you were another frog
I don’t believe the truth can be hidden For but a very short while if at all. To base a relationship on dishonesty Will ultimately make the thing fall. Yes, I ignored the messages you gave me I’ve been through enough of this to know That I was part of the reason we failed; That this is the way it would have to go.
I can’t let you completely off the hook. Your answers to my questions were a ruse. I am not equipped with a fairy godmother. I never had a pair of enchanted shoes. But I was never wishing for a magic life Just a hope that love could turn out real. But one of us can never do it all alone; Half of it will be about how you feel.
Dressing up in formal clothes Will not make us into something fine. As long as we believe a fantasy Soon we will cross some kind of line.
