A Song About A Girl

[Chorus]
I, I, I, I, I want to love you
But if it's not right what can I do?
Everything will be alright
So baby get some sleep tonight

[Verse 1]
And I find myself wishing it never happened
If only I could sit down and retype the things I imagined
Too selfish to leave your life, but I'm only there halfway
Don't want to commit but I'll listen on your bad days
Failed to utter the words that you so desperately needed
Used you as an ego boost even though I'm conceited
Now sitting around the keyboards feeling real defeated
Existing only in blog posts without proper nouns
Keep thinking about you, can't even count the times now
Wish washy, flip floppy
You were just to cute for anyone to stop me
We both made mistakes. Mine were a lot bigger
And our status shifts as if I'm the prince talking to gravediggers

[Chorus]
I, I, I, I, I want to love you
But if it's not right what can I do?
Everything will be alright
So baby get some sleep tonight

[Verse 2]
I never wanted it for us to be curtains
I'm stabbing them up like behind them is another person
But enough of this oblivious Hamlet shit
Can't keep living this life so damn blind and so ignorant
Because all I have are words, words, words
But I bet all you heard is disturbed nerd blurbs
What else am I supposed to do? That's what I'm good at
Keep conjuring lies and excuses out of thin facts
The impending increases along with distance
And I bet all your friends now hate me in an instant
Shake me like a polaroid, just a dumb human boy
Repeat to myself that feelings are not meant to be a toy
We're like one giant abyss: we just avoid

[Chorus]
I, I, I, I, I want to love you
But if it's not right what can I do?
Everything will be alright
So baby get some sleep tonight

[Verse 3]
I swear to God I never meant for all of this
But I also swear I was in the biggest bliss
The best thing for us is to just move on
Yet I keep staying up waiting for a new dawn
Just whisper in my ears again, maybe we can just be friends
I never wanted this to end, but I'm feeling too spent
If only I could change, if only I could rearrange
If only if only is only written in my page
The human heart is so damn powerful
Capable of lifting up the most doubtful
And take down the strongest in just a mouthful
So say it to me in your tone that's so vow full:

Everything will be alright
So baby get some sleep tonight
