Recall, Recede

I've been counting ways that I could justify

The choices I've made that led us here today

And I've been counting on you to do the same thing

But I set my expectations far too high

Like always, like always

And it's funny how we make ourselves

Believe that this is happiness

We're trapped inside our minds

And in your basement on separate ends of a couch

I'm trying so hard, and that's the problem

'Cause I can't shake this feeling from my bones

That you're just the girl who's too scared to let this go

And I'm just the boy who no matter what can't seem

To stay content for more than an hour or so

I would spend a lifetime searching for the words to say

If it meant that this feeling in my gut would go away

'Cause I'm sick of wishing that I could have a change of heart

And running away just to crawl back to the start

I can't shake this feeling from my bones

That you're just the girl who is too scared to let this go

And I'm just the boy who, no matter what

No matter fucking what, can't seem to stay content

I guess I'm better off alone

I guess I'm better off alone

And in the end, it doesn't even matter who you are

It just matters who I'm not
