lyrics

I found out you went on a trip with him,
When you got back you looked so fucking sad,
Everyone knows, you’re so hooked on men
Who look good but treat you bad,

So - I’m just here being patient
when you text me out of frustration,
It’s getting so hard to care, about
How lonely you feel when you’re together,
No amount of persuasion,
Or empathetic conversation,
Ever seems to make you aware
That the one you want
The one you want is…
Standing here

I close my eyes and dream of when
You open yours and forget about them,
Why wait,
Why hesitate,
If you want someone who’ll lie to you,
Break your heart and forget about you
Well that’s great,
Maybe it’s fate (that you’re with him)

I wouldn’t do that,
I’d never be so cold,
I wouldn’t hurt you,
On purpose for show

I have a friend, who says I’m a hopeless case,
Wasting all my life
And I deserve to be fucking sad,
Who does she think she is?
Telling me that I’m just pissing in the wind
She said “Ayyappan I’m getting impatient
When you air out your frustrations,
It’s getting so hard to care how butthurt you feel that you’re not with her
No amount of persuasion,
Or empathetic conversation
Ever seems to make you aware
That the one you want
The one you want is
Standing here

She said I close my eyes dream of when
You open yours and forget about them
Why wait
Why hesitate
Cuz if you want someone who’ll lie to you
Break your heart and forget about you
Well that’s great
Maybe it’s fate (that you’re alone)

I wouldn’t do that
I’d never be so cold
I wouldn’t hurt you
On purpose for show

I wouldn’t do that
I’d never waste your time
I’d make you happy
If you just let me try

You always fall for the ones who play hard to get
But you got one chance and baby this is it
Why wait
Why hesitate

But if your mind’s made up on someone new
You’ll wait too long and then you’ll lose me too
Well that’s great
Maybe it’s fate (and then you say)

I wouldn’t do that
I’d never be so cold
I wouldn’t hurt you
On purpose for sure

I wouldn’t do that
I’d never make you cry
I could make you happy
If you just let me try
