One day, you cried in bed next to me You told me to lie, "Don't be a realist" I know I'm not a perfect one for you now though, yes, I'm trying to be I think I like you with what you've done You're sitting right here with all of the pieces I felt the pain when I started to talk about the stupid things, the stupid things I've done Tonight, next to you, in a different dream and I'm trying to find the words But you are walking away, never turning around, and following another man Waking up, realize sunlight from the window, showing your face look the same as I saw yesterday You make me write these songs, that's the stupid things I've done One day you smiled and looked at me You're telling me nobody's better than me I know someone has told me such a stupid thing when I was seventeen She has left me alone Tonight, next to you, in a different dream and I'm trying to find the words But you are walking away, never turning around, and following another man Waking up, realize sunlight from the window, showing your face look the same as I saw yesterday You make me write these songs, that's the stupid things I've done Waking up, realize I was crying for a nightmare Nobody's there but your tshirt lying on the floor You make me feel like this again One day you cried in bed next to me You told me to lie, "Don't be a realist" I know I gotta apologize to you for all of the stupid things, the stupid things I've done
