I know I can't have it both ways
We had a certain amount of days
But I still think of you
Even though it hurts, it's true
I know she's your type,
But I don't get the hype
You used to love the way I'd write
Songs for you; you said it was a delight
Was I so blind to imagine
All the things that could have happened?
Don't tell me it's all in my head
That gives me something else to dread
Because I swear that when you look at me
There's something there only you and I can see
So tell me why you would leave
At first, it was hard to believe
And yet even today,
You still look my way
When I talk to your friend
You look like you can't comprehend
Why I'm talking to them
It's like you condemn
All the words you never said
And why I don't talk to you instead
I know I love you
Even when I don't want to
And I know you love me too
Even if you'll never say you do
I Love You Even When I Don't Want To
Something Like Perfect
