I can’t tell myself why
I continue to believe in you
You say that you try
But your actions prove that it isn’t true
And I can’t help feeling this is all your fault
But I can’t help thinking that it’s also mine
But I tried
And while you were sitting around, just lying to my face
I was figuring it out and trying to retrace our steps
To find out where, just where we went wrong
‘Cause when this started out,
I never pictured I’d be writing this song
But I’m still confused why
I kinda still believe in you.
I don’t think you try
And it took a long time, but we’re finally through
And I can’t help feeling that you got off easy
‘Cause I look at you and well,
Your face just makes me feel queasy
‘Cause I tried
And while you were sitting around, just lying to my face
I was figuring it out and trying to retrace our steps
To find out where, just where we went wrong
‘Cause when this started out,
I never pictured I’d be writing this song
And when you’re off with your friends 10,000 years from now
I bet you’ll still feel empty and be trying to figure it out
And I’ll be standing on a stage in front of a crowd
Telling the story about how you made me feel right now
And while you were sitting around, just lying to my face
I was figuring it out and trying to retrace our steps
To find out where, just where we went wrong
‘Cause when this started out,
I never pictured I’d be writing this song
