It's funny how I thought I had it all figured out--
The simple way that I was going to turn your heart about--
I thought that I had learned enough from broken love affairs
To be the one who cares enough for both of us,
Both of us.
I'd give you all the freedom that a man could ever want.
I thought that you were worth it and that I could bear the brunt
Of all the foolish fantasies you've built around yourself
To ease the pain of living life alone.
But it seems that you've been thinking, too:
I'm not the one who's right for you.
I'm trying hard to fake it,
To show that I can take it,
I'm loosing you,
I'm loosing you.
I know that you have promised that we both can still be friends.
I know that fellows say that when the love they're feeling ends,
And someday when you meet a guy you know is right for you,
Just take it from the guy who's been there, too,
I hope for your sake, dear, he loves you too.
