I'm not a mystery |
|
Everything I think is written down |
|
Keeping me from keeping you around |
|
I can't keep my feet on the ground |
|
And there's a million ways |
|
That I could mess it up, I always do |
|
By making plans and making them too soon |
|
I can't make much sense out of you |
|
But why bother |
|
Cause I'd rather call it off |
|
Than wait for it to work |
|
And why bother |
|
Cause I bet you're better off |
|
With some other hopeless jerk |
|
And I like you, but what can I do |
|
There's too much space to make you stay |
|
And there's a price to pay |
|
For doing what I do, but I can't stop |
|
I open up my heart like it's my job |
|
I tell myself it's over, but it's not |
|
I've got a running list |
|
Of all the times I tried to break my fall |
|
And all the times I wished that you would call |
|
And all the times I wished for you at all |
|
But why bother |
|
Cause I'd rather call it off |
|
Than wait for it to work |
|
And why bother |
|
Cause I bet you're better off |
|
With some other hopeless jerk |
|
And I like you, but what can I do |
|
There's too much space to make you stay |
|
I'm not a mystery |
|
Everything I think is written down |
|
Yeah, everything I think is written down |
|
Keeping me from keeping you around |
|
But why bother |
|
Cause I'd rather call it off |
|
Than wait for it to work |
|
And why bother |
|
Cause I bet you're better off |
|
With some other hopeless jerk |
|
And I like you, but what can I do |
|
There's too much space to make you stay |
