lyrics

We met at a party for Shelly when she came home from the Army. I was my usual self: effusive and charming. You set your gaze on me. Your stare as cold as ice. I heard you were a hard ass but you told me that you wanted to play nice. "Those melodramatic flares are better suited on them than us. And I'm sick of who I am. I just wanna be who I was" You change your tune so quick. Can't wrap my head 'round you because I just can't figure you out. A few weeks later everything just got so complicated. The girl next door turned back into the girl everybody hated. I said "what happened to the halo you stuck in your back pocket?" Didn't look up from your magazine but muttered "I had to get rid of it." "Those melodramatic flares are better suited on them than us. And I'm sick of who I am. I just wanna be who I was." You change your tune so quick. Can't wrap my head 'round you because I just can't figure you out.
