lyrics

It's a little surprising
that you would've ever let your sentiment show
Sent off in writing
My predestination that will never get told

I kind of like you
All the same I wish you'd learn to quiet your head
It's all true
but I don't want to wake up to the things I've said
I don't want to wake up to a dark double bed

All the perfect graceless things that you did
aren't enough to settle up with Cupid
Nothing else will be the same again

And again
This is everything I can't control
Battles I'm not fighting
Make believe that I haven't sold

I kind of like you
Even though there's nothing that I couldn't pretend
It's all true
But I don't want to wake up to the places I've been
I don't want to wake up

So I will hold myself before I go in
To hear the note that rings and leaves me knowing
Nothing else will be the same again

I can’t take
these snapshots of
my downfall though someone’s eyes
How long ‘til
a swift blow
might make me realize

All the perfect graceless things that you did
aren't enough to settle up with Cupid
So I will hold myself before I go in
To hear the note that rings and leaves me knowing
but I don’t want to wake up
I don’t want to wake up
