Oh, You Go Sailing

friend zone

You can find me
Knee-deep in reverie
I know there's a scar above your eyebrow
But I'm not sure how
I know these things after all this time.

I always find
When I try to unwind
You flitting quickly through my mind
As if asking me to stop and think of you.

Sometimes I do
I'll think of you
Sometimes I'll send you away
Where you lie in wait for another day
When I am more vulnerable
And I can't see you coming.

I should've seen you for what you were
Shallow, selfish, obsessed with her
You got the attention you wanted from me
And went back to her where you wanted to be.

I'm happy I never let it extend
Down the road and back again
I never would've gotten over it.

I needed more
But you needed words
Affirmation she wasn't giving you
I know she hates me but she shouldn't
I did what I was supposed to do.
"Things will get better, of course they will..."

I hope you're doing well
I hope you're great and she is swell
I never wanted it to come to this
There will always be a part of you I'll miss.
