Songs About You

What am I supposed to do with these songs that I wrote about you? You're a coward, a fool, and you're wrong Guess you might as well give me a song I guess if I keep them and let them live on It's only to my advantage But then what if you hear them and your ego only gets bigger? Well then that's the weight you'll have to bear You not I who'll be worse for the wear If all that you've won is some proof that I care I'm still left all the better If you had a cent of the courage that it takes to let my heart bleed You might have a sense of what's beneath what you so shallowly perceive And if you expect your words to shield you from the mess you've made and let you keep the rest I think you forget, you have to know yourself before you even try to undo me So I rifle through the memories that I have of you There was light and excitement for sure Electricity, even fire, but what's more Is you are the one who has made it a chore To coexist together Maybe now all the names I can call you are true But I guess that it's best to forgive After all it's much better to live Without hate and anger, I've got more to give And you are too small to matter If you had a cent of the courage that it takes to let my heart bleed You might have a sense of what's beneath what you so shallowly perceive And if you expect your words to shield you from the mess you've made and let you keep the rest I think you forget, you have to know yourself before you even try to undo
