lyrics

Lyrics:

If I pursued you, what would you do?
Would you expect me to become your muse?
Or would you reject me the nicest you could?
And lie to my face and tell me I’m good.
A good friend, a nice kid.

Why do I leave it all to you?

You tell me your secrets when you feel alone
I pretend I like all those records you own
That trip to the river I thought was my turn
But you said you needed some space to learn
To be on, your own

Why do I leave it all to you?

I should have been your teacher
Cause what did you do?
You sought another
Who played games with you

I wanted to tell you
That you’re missing out
But you made me wallow
In self-pity and doubt

And if you had asked me
I would have kneeled
Guess I didn’t have
That kind of appeal

You made me become what
I once despised
But I will be strong now
And leave your kind lies

I know I’m different
And proud that I’ve changed
I know how to leave you…
But what if I stayed?

I can’t regret this so I’ll play your game

I'll take the reigns and arch a straight dart
To hunt down the answer In the hollow of your heart.
So I guess my question isn’t that new:
When I pursue you, what will you do?
