"You have sixteen new messages

First new message

Why do I even bother calling you

It's been like sixteen times today

I know you've seen the line

So stop ignoring me!"

I made a critical mistake in a momentary lapse of judgement

Now you've called me up again to remind me of the ways I've fucked up

So then I'll take all the blame

It all just feels the same

And we move on

Then I screw it up again

Are you noticing a trend

Should I go on?

So I said.

I could be everything you need

If you could learn to be someone else

I could try and abridge the distance

You'd be thinking about yourself

It's the way you want the world to be

It's the way you want the world to be.

I'm the sinner you're the saint

You will always have your way

Will you let go?

But when a cynic and a snake

Come together it could take a miracle

But it only lasts so long

I know it won't be long 'till I screw up

Could we start it all again

And go back to when we were both wrong

Cause we're both wrong

So I said.

I could be everything you need

If you could learn to be someone else

I could try and abridge the distance

You'd be thinking about yourself

It's the way you want the world to be

It's the way you want the world to be.

And it always seemed too perfect to be true

There's nothing perfect about me and you

And I tried to see the best

But I saw right through you

And I know I could be better

But you won't let me forget

That it always seemed so perfect when I played it in my head.

You made a critical mistake in a momentary lapse of judgement

Now I'm walking out that door

Like all the times before

Guess I fucked up.

So I said

I could be everything you need

If you could learn to be someone else

I could try and abridge the distance

You'd be thinking about yourself

It's the way you want the world to be

It's the way you want the world to be

I could be everything you need

If you could learn to be someone else.
