Is this still just a speed bump?
A delay of success?
Temporary?
Is that what our situation is?
Or is that just me?

If you do move on
You might fall in love again
And you're new motto will be
"I never really loved her at all.
Because if the first and the
SECOND
Time I fell in love were real,
I would never have felt
That same way again."

I don't want to be just a number
A notch in your bedpost
A piece of your heart
That never actually existed
A "slump" in what you do
To girls: what you've done anyway
A memory
A nightmare because
Dreams are too pretty
I don't want to be a lie
I don't want to be a love
That wasn't real.

I don't want you to move on.

Because I can't see how
I'm going to.
