I still believe you said everything you ever said
'cause you meant it
And not just because we were sharing a bed
And even though you meeting me is something you regret
I believe that we found something good that day we met
And I still haven't found a pair of jeans that fit me right
And I know you say these crazy things to try and take me for a ride
It still hits me like a bag of bricks each and every night
When I wake up to find that you're not here to my right
So I'm saying a prayer that my feet don't fail
But I'm still digging pebbles out from the palms of my hands
From doing push ups in the middle of two lane streets
From falling over walking with 2 left feet, yeah I'm falling down
'cause I know that you're happy to be rid of me
And I hope it's gonna change your personality
'cause when you're laughing, it's magnetic
And amazing how it cuts through the static
So please stay happy if not for me
Then for the sake of all the birds and trees and living things
That rely on such vivid beauty to go on living
My downfall, you see, where I'm stuck
Is thinking how it could be
And it turns my stomach, and my heart plummets
To think of what you think of me
And I'm still figuring out just who I am
And who I could be
But all I know is that who I was
Wasn't really me
And I was feeling down about who I was
And what I couldn't be
So I lost my mind and I wasted time
Feeling so guilty
So I'm singing this song in hopes that you'll sing along
And listen to what I'm saying
It's a song that I made
Filled with steps I can take
To find something I can believe in, to believe in
So you trick your clothes to make them believe
This is really your arm inside this sleeve
It's the same arm that used to hold
The things that you considered gold
But inside your head, you know you've changed
But really who remains the same?
You're distracting yourself to make you believe
You changed for the good; Man, you're so naïve
So you're saying things that you don't mean
Like actors on the silver screen until you realize your past is real
And it's really no big fucking deal, so you burn your clothes
And everything that reminds you of how you used to be
'cause I know that you're happy to be rid of me
And I hope it's gonna change your personality
'cause when you're laughing, it's magnetic
And amazing how it cuts through the static
So please stay happy if not for me
Then for the sake of all the birds and trees and living things
That rely on such vivid beauty to go on living
I still believe you said everything you ever said
'cause you meant it
