Were it that simple you would say
That you were sorry in another way
Were it not for me and the way I act
You wouldn’t be so mad at the simple fact
There isn’t enough time to change
There isn’t enough time to let you in
We’ve wasted hours taking aim
On things that don’t matter to me or him
Why then do I always come up short
With everything that just takes and distorts
Why then is it always coming down
When I fail, when I win, it doesn’t matter when you’re around
There wasn’t enough time to take it back
There can’t be anything that meant anything to you
How much is what you think that I lack
Because I know, that it is more than I can ever pay back
Why then do I try to win
All those argument that have no sense in them
Why must we always come to this point
Where one of us always misses the point
So much to say
That we’ll never actually say it
Another way
Being tired can’t do anything but make it
Less and less
I thought that telling the truth would be right
But telling you what you didn’t want to hear only made us fight
Try and try
To make things work out or maybe just smooth out
This isn’t the same because you always make it feel like I left you out
Can being the worst thing that I have ever done to you make you see
Can saying the hardest thing I’ve ever said make you understand me
Just take it out
Don’t make it sound like you could be or I could be or there ever was a we
When these things fall apart around me
That you were sorry in another way
Were it not for me and the way I act
You wouldn’t be so mad at the simple fact
There isn’t enough time to change
There isn’t enough time to let you in
We’ve wasted hours taking aim
On things that don’t matter to me or him
Why then do I always come up short
With everything that just takes and distorts
Why then is it always coming down
When I fail, when I win, it doesn’t matter when you’re around
There wasn’t enough time to take it back
There can’t be anything that meant anything to you
