i could have spent my life mad at you!!!!
but it never would have felt right
will i feel this hollow, this empty for the rest of my life?
will i find no pleasure in success, will i find only nostalgia for my youth
i sepnt hating everything i didn't know about you
i could have mulled it over in my head a million times before i saw
the lies that i resided in were always wrong
if i was half the person i pretended to be i'd be a lot more like you
i'd be a reflection of the things so undersired and thought through
i see my youngness spent in exile, my teen years spent alone
every promise that i'd give you is just a debt forever owed
a broken bone, trying to let go, of the words i know, and the ones i don't
i wanna find my heart, i wanna be your art, i want to grow apart, i want to drive so farrrrrr
AND SO:
HERE'S TO YOU, A DREAM OPIATE ANTI-MUSE, THE REASON FOR NO GOOD NEWS, LIKE THE MANY TURNED TO FEW
A STORM SO SENT TO BLACK, LETTING GO OF EVERYTHING I HAD
ERASING EVERY WORD I WROTE, MY POETRY JUST UNDERTOW
I COULD HAVE DROWNED IN MY REGRETS, I COULD HAVE LET GO
I COULD HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH MORE THAN I WILL EVER KNOW
I HOPE WE MEET SOMEDAY, AND TALK LIKE HUMAN BEINGS
TALK ABOUT THE PAST AND THEN WE COULD JUST ACT
LIKE NOTHING WAS EVER BORN OUT OF LATENT TEENAGE SCORN
I COULD LOOK YOU IN THE EYE, I COULD BREATHE WITHOUT A SIGH
I COULD BE YOU
I COULD BE YOU
I COULD BE YOU
I COULD BE YOU
I COULD BE YOU...
