I just said I love you to a girl I haven't seen
since December, I remember, she was close enough to me.
Now I'm growing up and throwing 'round
some words to reassure,
that I'll always love her,
because I loved her once before.

And I don't care
cuz I'm backed into a corner, and
life's not fair, so I'm breakin' all the rules.
Day by day don't walk away.
"you've got a good thing going on,"
I tell myself it's like throw it all away or stick around.

Around away with it
I don't wanna stay with it. Pass it on.
Be strong, hold on, not long ago
and every day is the same thing,
tomorrow is the same thing.
I hold my head in my hand.

<i>[Chorus:]</i>
(Everything)
That I do,
(Seem so, everything)
That I say,
(Seem so, everything)
That I am,
(Seem so)
Everything seems so wrong.

Am I dramatic or am I empathizing with myself?
If it's selfish, I don't want it, but I know it too damn well
to forget it. Forget it. I don't want it anymore,
and I just said I love you to a girl I loved before.

And I don't care
cuz I'm backed into a corner, and
life's not fair, so I'm breakin' all the rules.
Day by day don't walk away.
"you've got a good thing going on,"
I tell myself it's like throw it all away or stick around.

Around away with it
I don't wanna stay with it. Pass it on.
Be strong, hold on, not long ago
and every day is the same thing,
tomorrow is the same thing.
I hold my head in my hand.

<i>[Chorus]</i>
