Supposed to Be

Once too many times,
I've fallen asleep with you on my mind
Wondering who you're with
If my secret's out, if I'm closing in

And now I realize
That's a dream that's just another lie
'cause these things don't exist
This roundabout, this stupid grin

Your words bring me up and
strike me down
There's no one else I'd rather have
Than you right now

Because you're the best chapter of my story
Where in the end, there was just you and me
I'll rewrite the part where we're both adoring
Because that's the way it was supposed to be

Then there's that one guy
Who I'll always keep in the back of my mind
Because I know who you're with
So count me out since I'm wearing thin


Your words bring me up and
strike me down
Don't expect to find me
When you come around


Because you're the best chapter of my story
Where in the end, there was just you and me
And I'll write the part where we're both adoring
Because that's the way it's supposed to be

I've lost a few pages, and I account that to me
I'd rather not read them as part of our history
These fairy tales are just a big misunderstanding
Because of my stupid thoughts of where we're landing

Girls are stupid.
Nice wording though.

There are three people in this situation, and they are all wrong. Every last one of them. The girl is wrong for stringing you along while remaining in some kind of relationship with another guy. The other guy is wrong because I'm sure he knows, and he's jealous, and he takes his negative emotions out on her in some way. And then there's you, and the cycle continues because she takes her negative emotions out on you. If in no other way, she's compensating for a lack of attention from her "guy" by being dependent on your attention (positive or negative) for emotional validation.

Each and every one of you has the ability to end this cycle. No one's pretending it's easy, but it's possible and it's necessary. NONE of you will be able to move on with your lives and become the people you want to be if you're holding each other back this way.



Message me some time. :)
