The Summer
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I watched you burn and I felt it
And you're spitting words like you're someone else
And I watched you run
I was screaming and following you down
It seems I'm stuck in the promise you made
I’m counting out
I don't want to know
I don't want to know
If I could catch you once
I’d see you right through
You said you'd stay, and you promised
I finally see you out
Why'd you wait for the summer to chew and spit me out?
I sit awake and wait impatiently
The same mistakes are waiting to be made
I felt something that is in me change when I followed you down
I don't want to know
I don't want to know
Wish I could write you off
I see you right through
I don't want to know
I don't want to know
How you could just set me off
I see you right through
