The Commitment to Misunderstanding

Remembering what it was to feel young
Daylight on my eyelids
The sound of laughing children
Breaking down and spending
All my time hoping that you'd
Maybe stay this time
Don't come back again
If you leave me this time

I'm not trying to take your time away
I'm not trying to tell you how to live
But friends want the best for eachother
And I can't do this again
It's making my head spin
I'm not trying to trick your girl away
Make you mess up again
I just want you to focus for me babe
Put the effort in and see what you get

I've been trying not to go down this road
I've been trying not to see you through a hole
That my brain created
Incorporated just so I could
Dismiss your behavior
Forgive her for the tally marks she gave her
And what was the purpose
Sometimes I think our brains work against us
When we were young
