lyrics

No matter how hard i try i can't crush this crush
The voice in my ear says that I think too much
But I won't listen to the song that it sings
I'll act like when you said goodbye it didn't mean a thing

The excuses to see you are gone so i'll make one up
The front door is unlocked so just come on up
I admit that its strange to still act in this way
But please just sit down I have something to say

I hate that I have to go to sleep without saying good night to you
I want you to get in trouble so i can come and rescue you

And I just can't help it that I'm so not over you
I haven't gotten there yet
And I don't think that I want to
So I'll sit back
Watching my world go round
My reason for living life's turned upside down
I'll wait for the chance to be entranced by you again

Wanna know how I'm coping?
Act like break up's a formality
Even if it lacks a hint of rationality
I'll muster up the courage just to open my mouth up wide
And give a glimpse of just what's going on inside

I hate that you have to go to sleep without saying good night to me
I wanna get in trouble so you can come and rescue me

I won't take your pictures off display
I won't stop talking to you in the exact same way
I won't stop thinking about you every second, every day
I won't deny that life without you makes me afraid
