i wish i didn t have this nervous laugh
i wish i didn t say half the stuff i say
i wish i could just learn to cover my tracks
i guess i m not concerned about getting away

cause every time i try to hold my tongue
it slips like a fish from a line
they say if you want to play
you should learn how to play dumb
i guess i can t bring myself to waste your time

cause we both know what i ve been doing
i ve been intentionally bad at lying
you re the only boy i ever let see through me
and i hope you beleive me when i say i m trying
and i hope i never improve my game
yeah i d rather have these things weighing on my mind
and at the end of this tunnel of guilt and shame
there must be a light of some kind
there must be a light of some kind

i must have blown a fuse or something
cause it was so dark in my mind
she came up to me with the sweetest face
and she was holding a light of some kind
and i still think of you as my boyfriend
i don t think this is the end of the world
but i think maybe you should follow my example
and go meet yourself a really nice girl

cause we both know. . .

in the end the world comes down to just a few people
but for you it comes down to one
but no one ever asked me if i thought i could be
everything to someone
there s a crowd of people harboured in every person
there are so many roles that we play
and you ve decided to love me for eternity
i m still deciding who i want to be today

cause we both know. . .
