if you saw me now, you wouldn't be quite sure who i am
who am i? who are you?
i've always had something that you lacked
but if you're really gone, then the sun sets now
pull down the curtains, drown the doubt
because that was what i'd always wanted
when i drove away from you

some people aren't supposed to be together
and some people aren't supposed to be apart
and we know we're not the first
well since that's true then tie the bow on the present of
me leaving you behind
so you can drown yourself next winter in the snow
and i can get on with my life

and i still wonder from time to time if you
grabbed your pillow at night and cried as hard i still sometimes do
you probably don't - not for me
you save all your tears for you
just like always, selfishness wins
removes any trace of the right thing to do

morals are something you don't want to be confronted with
your actions are what you bury, pretend they don't bother you
when you're confronted, you defend
arms crossed against your chest
always up in arms against me

so i ran from you for once, like i always wanted to
started over, shook my life of everything to do with you
still you're there, like a ghost, haunting me from the past
i can feel you thinking about me
if you want to apologize, if you want to come near me
you can watch me drive away so fast

and this summer, maybe you'll see me somewhere
maybe the mall, or the streets, or the coffee shop
i'll be happy, i'll be laughing, i'll be who i ******* am
since you say you don't know me, and you don't,
stay the **** out of my head
