i know how much meaning you attach to things
because that's the same amount of meaning that i attach to you

so i'm sorry if i seemed harsh
when i told you to buy a new book

i only said it because i know how much you love to read
or maybe i said it
because i know how much you loved her

and i told you to buy a new book
because i do know how much meaning you attach to things
and it's one of my favorite things about you

but i haven't seen you hurt like this in a while
so maybe that is why i think that you deserve something new

and i don't want you to think that i'm telling you
to stop attaching meaning to things in your life
because that's the opposite of what i'm telling you to do

i just i don't want you to miss out on any more opportunities to see how amazing you are
because too many people in your life have missed out on that

but just this once
i want you to attach meaning to yourself
