Believe You Me

A year ago today, a bitter feud combusted
A feud trapped in the hearts of lovers
Tell him what he's won: a thirteen hour car ride
Keep your eyes pointed at the dashboard
Pointless arguement
Lose-lose commitment
A fake apology
I got blood on your car seat
I hope it stains forever
And though I know that I can't be the one that you love
I'll ask anyway
Please understand the power that you have over me only goes so far
This is useless and I see through this
Is this the last discussion?
Can I have one more please?
If I'd known the truth
I never would've fought you
At least not with words
Maybe with fists
Are those tears for real?
You're gonna have to prove it
If they're not, well sister I can make them
I hide behind a laugh
I'll someday learn to take this
I'll someday learn to take this like a man
This is useless and I see through this
Is this the last discussion?
Can I have one more please?
Believe you me
That it never felt better and never felt worse
I swear to god that when it starts again you'll be the first to know
Believe you me
I got an award for best actor
In a play where I played so many god damn parts
There's a difference between acting and pretending
And boy, can I ever pretend
Just put on a happy face and bring everyone down
This is useless and I see through this
Is this the last discussion?
Can I have one more please?
Believe you me
That it never felt better and never felt worse
I swear to god that when it starts again you'll be the first to know
Believe you me
