lyrics

Give me a second and maybe I'll tell you the reasons I gave up your feelings for mine
Actually, if we are totally honest, I never cared about what you'd been through
Please don't be angry, it's only a fable, it didn't really happen, you're imagining things
I was the caringest, lovingest person, I can't help it that I was better than you

I'd just like to sing alone, even if these things relate to you
I've been waiting to sing my own song

Give me a second and maybe I'll tell you the reasons I gave up your feelings for mine
Actually, if we are totally honest, I never cared about what you'd been through
Please don't be angry, it's only a fable, it didn't really happen, you're imagining things
I was the caringest, lovingest person, I can't help it that I was better than you

You don't know what's best for me, you'd like me to write like others do
I've been waiting to prove that you're wrong

Little "maybes" gives you speech so you can submit your infant soul stains without seeming concrete. With reference to your abusive history, which so clearly needs more attention, you're undone

Give me a second and maybe I'll tell you the reasons I gave up your feelings for mine
Actually, if we are totally honest, I never cared about what you'd been through
Please don't be angry, it's only a fable, it didn't really happen, you're imagining things
I was the caringest, lovingest person, I can't help it that I was better than you

We have suffered just like you, even if most people show no proof
