Right from the start we were an entangled mess
Worked really hard to create what could not be
I'd always known my own weaknesses but I didn't wanna dwell on them
I told him my fears and he looked like he could deal with them
I said 'yes' because I was optimistic
We barely lasted a day after that.
He wanted to know what was in my head
That way he revived the memories of the things I left dead
He pushed me so hard that I broke
I just didn't think I could cope
I don't do well under pressure tainted by jealousy
And I surely can't stand being ordered around (I should add that to my resume)
So I'm at that same spot,
I'm not happy things didn't work out
And I'm not sad it ended either
Maybe within me it's a conflict of emotion
Maybe my assumptions have always been faulty
But I was right when I predicted we were an entangled mess
Nevertheless, I have beautiful memories of us to hold
