Thoughts
We make that awkward eye contact
And I look away, look back, away
Because I feel there's something I should say
But whatever it is, I don't want to
I still have nothing to say to you
But when I see you with her
I feel like maybe it was wrong
To break our fragile china doll
And I almost start singing a Cher Lloyd song
Then I remember that I'm glad you're gone
So you can keep your ring, your love, your letterman jacket
Take back the memories, the pain, the heartache
And thie them up with a pretty red bow
For the next unsuspecting hopeless romantic
Who can argue with you about semantics
And how you swear she said things
That she never really did
And twist up her words so even she's confused
To the point where she just gives in
Because she doesn't want to be singing a Taylor Swift song
About how you broke her heart in the stereotypical way
But one of these days she'll come to realize
That there's no point in trying to disguise
How frustrated and broken she really is
And she'll have no problem saying goodbye to you
The way it seems all girls do
And maybe this time
The things she gives as reasons why
Will teach you to be a better guy
And pick her up when she wants to cry
Instead of letting her live a lie
And feeling like she might want to die
Because that seems better than this
But then again, almost anything would be
But that's just me
And it's usually smart to listen to
All those "Been there done that"'s
Because they speak from experience
And you can avoid all the "I told you so"'s,
And the heartache of being told "No, you're wrong"
By everyone who seems to know better,
And that awkward feeling like this
Because I still see you all the time
In the halls and in my rhymes
But none of this is worth a dime
Because at the end of the day there's still that regret
That won't go away until death do us part
Because I can never forget.
So for now I'll do the only thing left
After thinking all this in a split second pause,
I dodge your unintentional glance,
I duck my head and go to class
And hope you didn't notice.
