lyrics

you asked me not to love you
but i don't know how not to
you told me that you cared
but the love was just not there
it's all so vivid to me
but to you, just fading memories
a different life you don't still lead
a different life, that you don't need

i've been listening to the wrong Taylor Swift songs
i was still singing "love story"
you were humming "you're not sorry"
i've been listening to the wrong Taylor Swift songs
i thought you belong with me
but you don't need me to breathe

i showed up on a frozen day
tried to give my heart away:
an offer you just couldn't take,
stopped short of saying "it's too late"
i look at all the ones who have
loved and lost, and got it back
but the heart's the greatest mystery:
i can't force you to love me...

you tried to get me to cheer up
said i'd find someone else
but that won't help me, because
you're in a class by yourself...

i've tried to quit it, but it's just not the same
cause i can't support my lips when they aren't speaking your name
and you tried to get me to appreciate what i have
but when i see you, all i can think of is what i lack
cause your eyes are like the stars upon the darkest of nights
and your lips are like a clinic, teaching poetic lines
and your soul is like a spring that i wish i could jump in
and i know this sounds dramatic, but it's genuine...
