I've been desperately trying to write you this song
Hoping that some day you'll like it and start singing along
I've been desperately trying
To put these words in your mouth
So you can hear exactly
What I heard that made me go south
You said "I wasn't gonna tell you, but I can't pretend. "”
You said "last night she blew my world
And now this has to end. "”
While I was desperately drowning, you blew a white line
You said I should have seen it coming
You said that I'll be fine
Chorus
That my emotions are shot
'cause I grew up and changed a bit
That I'm someone you're not
But we're still the same - you're singing it
That I gave up the fight, you were the one remember it?
I slept alone every night, while you were out tearing it
It wasn't her that caused our doom
It was the 60s way of life
I think you let go way too soon
I was so mad I skipped denial
And my apathy was self-induced by your perfume
So while you're standing there and blaming me
Think back and don't assume
Chorus
That my emotions are shot
'cause I grew up and changed a bit
That I'm someone you're not
But we're still the same - you're singing it
That I gave up the fight, you were the one remember it?
I slept alone every night, while you were out tearing it
I spent all these years in silence, building up these walls
Swapping emotions with silence, just trying to get along
Pills in hand, flirting with death, I stopped believing
That I want you back
And I lost all track of feelings thickening
Chorus
My emotions are shot 'cause I grew up and changed a bit
That I'm someone you're not
But we're still the same - you're singing it
That I gave up the fight, you were the one remember it?
I slept alone every night, while you were out tearing it
