Why don't you understand
That I don't want
To move backwards
But move forward

Why don't you understand
That I care about you
More than anyone else
But want to help you move forward

Why is it
That you say I know you
But then tell me
I'm not allowed to know you

Why do you
Tell me I'm your best friend
To then state that you'll never put me in your picture
Why do you tell me

That what's final is final
Because you don't know the future
The future is in the air
Stop finalizing the future, please

When you keep changing your mind
Just to turn your back on me
When I'm not even hurting you
When the past is hurting you

Why can't you
See the past for what it was
Because if you look at the past
There was good and bad

But there was good
So see the good
In the past you pretend to see
And let me back in

Because I swear I'm not that bad
I'm not even that anymore
The bad you remember
I wasn't me

Now I'm me
I swear I'm all good, not even the past good
And you're not going back,
Because we're moving forward

But please
Keep blocking me out
Tell me I'm dreaming for something
That will never happen

Keep crushing my dreams
Then calling yourself awful and horrible
Keep telling me I'm wrong when I say you're great and nice and wonderful
Just so you can call yourself awful and horrible

Every time you hurt me
I'm like
Why don't we hug it out
Why don't we talk it out

Because you think
To make it better
We need to shut the holes in our faces
And forget

So that someday
We can be friends?
