Back Track

Do you not see what you still do to me?
I’ve been down this road many times before
Why don’t you just stay out of my life already?
It’s like you won’t quit until you settle the score

You can’t handle the fact that I’ve lost interest in you
You can hide behind your delusion but it’s still true
No sooner as I reached out to you, you so quickly withdrew
These stupid, meaningless games you should’ve outgrew

I’ll do my best to be nice and polite
Despite that I’m grinding my teeth with all this spite
I know that you mean well, but just leave me the hell alone
I’m tired of seeing you yakking mindlessly on your phone

It’s childish of me to be so full of resentment
But I’ll not the barging my way through your door
Can’t you just reach some level of contentment?
No matter what life gives you, you’ll always ask for more

It’s been like two or three years since we first met
And I know better than to think I could ever go back
Ten years from now, these actions I would surely regret
Constantly complaining about life was your knack

I’ve slowly learned to realize that’s it’s just an emotion
You and I do not fit in any way when thinking logically
I bought into this lowly relentless self-induced notion
Man’s greatest downfall, hopeless love’s prodigy

I’m through with trying to rationalize your behavior
I focused too much on this whole relationship lore
I don’t need someone like you to be my lost savior
It was all right in front of me behind this closed door

So, while you continue and search for someone new
Please just let me be in peace and be on your way
Time will heal, but when your back the picture’s blue
I hate to haft to ignore you; I’ve just nothing left to say
