So I hear you want to move out of town
Colorado the destination
Though you always, always had California on your mind
And CO is the exact opposite of CA
Except for ****
And except for your boyfriend

And I hear you could keep your job and work from home out of state
That would be great
So you could stay inside all winter, out of the cold
And you'd never meet a new soul
But you'd have your ****
And you'd have your boyfriend

But sadly, you'll rot away inside as you come to realize you hate this place
And though your new love is perfect at first, he becomes irate
And even though you're the sweetest thing in his life if he'd only open his eyes,
He doesn't seem to see it so clearly anymore

And the longer you stay, the further you grow away
Because you already gave him your all by moving away
And it cost him nothing.

Just like with your last boyfriend, being with you
Cost him nothing.

And now, again, when it starts to cost him anything at all,
You'll find he's not so much fun anymore.

And the truth is I know nothing about your relationship
The truth is all I'm basing this on a hunch, and some things I remember from the time we spent together
And the truth is this has nothing to do with where you go or who you know
The truth is it's just another self-centered poem about me being hurt

But I still think you're making a huge mistake
And I'm sorry
Because it's really gonna hurt when you uproot your whole life
Only to find he would never lift a finger for you
I'm sorry
