Alright girl, you ready?
This is for you, for you and only for you (you alone)
Yeah, now listen up while I drop the rhymes!
I sit and I think about what could have been you and me
Nothing but immobilising pain, trying to break free!
When I dream, sometimes it's all my strained eyes see
And when I wake up, I don't know, but I want to be
Better, because girl, every single letter, every dotted "i", every crossed "t"
They don't mean nothing, if you're not here with me!
I know what happened was something messed up
Believed lies that ended in tearing us up (I'm so f*cked up)
But if you get what I know, it's this -
I was always one to believe the dis!
It really wasn't about at all
It was about me, tripping up in the Fall!
And I really didn't think that I was worth chasing after you
Even though the Truth is clear, I've always loved you!
Your arms slip around me from behind
And I feel like myself again, coming alive!
Yourself in that silhouette in my jacket
Skeletons of My Chem, our old racket!
Tunes of Aiden play on your iPod
Probably listening to them on the same day
Together, even though we're so far away!
We think about each other often, so often that we go to type it out almost at once
And I believe nine times out of ten, when I think back to what we had, I'm a f*ckin' dunce
I'm a f*ckin' dweeb, running away from you,
You know girl, what I should have been doing was running too, running to you!
Because everything that has happened since was something straight out of a horror flick
A speeding Benz goes by, I'm flying from the window seat
Breaking every bone, my whole body's beat!
But the pain I feel in recovery don't hurt half as bad as giving up that day with Randal!
Hiding by him in the street
But maybe it's come full circle, a sun coming up
As I see a message from you asking how I am
Saying you always loved me too, maybe I'm finally a man
Maybe I can finally see a future opening up ahead of me
Doesn't have to be far, doesn't have to be certain
I just want you to be able to see, to really believe
That even though that slut and her man toy deceived
In my heart I barely doubted!
Maybe before that final curtain, now that we're both grown
We can both heal from the hurtin'
We don't got to rush, we don't to sprint!
Girl, you know we can move like we're both in splints!
Edging closer and closer on a 172-mile stretch of highway
I'll still be tickled, reading every line that you have to say!
And maybe before that final curtain
Maybe before that final curtain, we'll both heal from the hurtin'!
Would you like that, would ya? I know I would!
