Swaying in the limbo of our long, exhausting game
I must admit has grown to be a bore
And I've spent so many days simply speaking of the ways
That I can move on from you for sure
And finally, in front of me, a chance has been presented
Though I must admit, I've waited far too long
Out of all of this confusion comes a golden escape route
Yet up and leaving just feels so wrong
Because after all we've been through, looking back on us
It's safe to say I've had a good time
And through the ups and downs, though it has been harsh
It still feels right to call you mine
And they tell me to go out, break free of this tradition
Chase my dreams and get out of this habit,
But I still feel the spark, even when you're gone
And to lose it would be just short of tragic
Cuz even at your worst, you're the best part of me
And to loose it would just leave me blind
And I have to admit it, and it may be pathetic,
But I have you now, there's nothing more to find
And as much as I hate it, as much as I deny
And even though you'll never really feel the same
I find myself still in love with with the person you once were
Before we started playing this whole game
Sometimes I even see him, in a quick, fleeting smile
Or some cheesy joke you casually say
Or in a smirk when I do something totally awkward
You used to always look at me that way...
So I know I've been mistreated and I know that I've been used
And I know that it's just all a joke to you
But it's worth those fleeting moments, where for only a second
I'm reminded of the boy that I once knew
