She loves me! I read it! Right here in this text!
And it wasn't all sensual and way oversexed!
She said as if it were general knowledge
This thing that I'd never have learned from a college
She said it right now, right before she slept
I'm gonna make sure that this message is kept!
If only I'd courage like she's got to say
"I love you, my darling. Now let's run away!"
But alas, twas not I that courage lay in
I alone am least able to stifle this grin
That appears on my face when I see her at school
I'm stupid and nerdy, and she's so **** cool
She plays in a band and she rocks on the bass
Her sunglasses are never to have left her face
I know that she loves me, and I love her too
But I still feel I'm wary and it makes me blue
To know that she's awesome and I don't add much
Don't bring out the music or talent and such
I'm just like, this guy who  some people might know
Because being outspoken makes a comedy show
But she loves me, she said it! And though I may doubt
That one's on me and you can't help me out
I've got to get through to myself and just say
"Hey kid, you're so young! Take these worries away!"
But I can't so I won't and so they shall stay
To lie in my brain and come out someday
But the point is she loves me! And I love her too!
And no one should doubt it; not I and not you

I don't know you and you don't know me
And maybe that's how it's meant to be
Because when I knew you
It seemed as though there was something to do
But now that we're strangers, it seems that we're free
I from you and you from me

I met her mother today
I was nervous to do it
I wasn't sure what to say
What would I do if I blew it?

"Be yourself," she says
Be myself? says my head
Now I'm thinking of Pez...
And I'm thinking I'm dead

But I walked up the stairs
Took a left at the top
I awaited a bear
Sipping an otterpop

Her mom was so nice
Called me "from Subway"
And I took the advice
Took the intro my way

Met her grandma and auntie
In the downstairs, grey room
I prepared a sea chantey
But we left, so no boom

Her mom met my dad
I hugged my girlfriend goodbye
She makes me so glad
There's new life in my eye

I used to think that maybe you were all I'd ever need
I thought of you as only mine; a product of my greed
But you aren't mine, and never were, and that is just a fact
This phantom-fake relationship, was it just an act?

So tell me truly, gorgeous one, when did love leave you?
Tell me when that winged ***** stopped by to bid adieu
His arrow's deep inside my chest, but you don't have a scratch
I've got a seeping puncture wound, without a stable patch

I can tell you all your errors
That you write upon the page
I can tell you that you're acting like your shoe size, not your age

I can tell you that you don't care
Even though I know you do
And when the tears start pouring out, I know that that's my cue

To take back everything I've said
To hold it all inside
To put away the honesty in the crawl space where I hide

I'll zipper up my bottom lip
To keep words from spilling out
And on days when the zipper breaks, my pillow hears the shout

We've come this far with honesty
That I've kept locked away
So why should we be open when today is just one day?

Maybe someday you'll see
The pieces of me
That you left, shattered on the floor

Maybe someday quite soon
When you glance at the moon
You'll see me looking back from the core

Maybe someday when I'm
Quite out of time
You'll think back and remember the day

The day that you cut
My heart through my gut
And casually threw our love away

I'm making an example out of you
Though you may not see it yet
My own inflicted wounds paint your reputation black
But you wouldn't know; you're too good to notice
You don't know what they say about you
Manipulator
Tease
Player
But I know
I started them all
Without a single word, my dear
I use my misery to convey the single belief that all others like you
Must be brought to justice
For the good of men like me
