If I Tried To Leave
It's summer, possibly the typical summer love stuff.
Instead you're after the one you really love
This time around I'm not giving a fuck what they say
Maybe it's my new attitude because I'm no where near afraid
Couldn't care less if you're not for me,
Maybe if I'm lucky I'll be in your heart for free,
But who am I kidding? There will always be a cost.
And by the looks of it, it'll be short lived and lost.
Tonight, you're walking the streets, getting trashed coz of her;
The girl that made “someone like you” fall in love, sir.
Instead I'm the girl who's trying to help,
Offering a shoulder to cry on and someone to tell.
Trying hard to put how I feel aside,
just so I can be the number one girl in your life.
And your half-drunk friends are telling me what I want to hear
Feeding my heart, my hope; music to my ears
If I tried to leave would you tell me stay?
And the way you're looking down and smiling and your eyes
I couldn't say the way it makes me feel..oops oh my,
[I'm falling again.. ]
I feel 10 years old, blushing and making odd sounds
He's Dr Phil, playing matchmaker in the playground.
And I don't know if it matters to you, the way it matters to me
When the summer heat soaks us early morning on a trampoline
But I still remain so, so close to you
I don't know if I could stand not to.
I didn't need comfort that full moon night
I needed you close, atleast within sight.
When the bus pulls away and my heart makes a skip.
I meet you in the middle of the road, hoping we can re-open it
I never knew, but I always wanted to
If you felt anything between us in your quiet bedroom
(I like to say)
If I tried to leave would you tell me to stay?
Seven months ago when I waited for you after work
Wrote that note on a napkin asking to talk,
Of course I'm looking all pretty in heels, a girls friday night
I can't read you, you won't take me, drenched in dim city light
Back in the day, the girls, one by one, they’d fall down
Blaming all the shit on you, talk of the town
But fuck SA, fuck the exes, fuck the currents
Boy, you were my medium and these days I’m falling, running
Once again, like back when I was your girlfriend,
And we couldn’t care less if we were rushing things.
Take a step back and remember all the times
I was there for you, and the little things I tried
Look at me a little harder, pretend I'm a little bit stronger
Maybe you'll think I'm beautiful and want me to stay for longer
I stuck around because you needed a friend,
But I guess I wanted more from the beginning to the end,
And when we reached the end I knew that for sure,
Trying to prepare myself for rejection, to walk out the door.
Teenage heartbreak, Woodstock & tears
One day I'll make it all better for you and that's a promise.
I can't even stay mad that you fucked me over,
Choosing her was probably the best thing I've ever been taught.
