Second level of the barnes & noble
You're flipping through self help books on the floor
I'm waiting til you make it to the chapter
Where you realize you can't love me anymore
And i've been getting better at forgetting
But the thought of you still cuts me to the core
And maybe i won't see your mom at christmas
But she said she'll always keep an open door
Then you ask how i've been
And i know that you know
You don't have to pretend
That you don't
All these thoughts in my head
Is this really the end?
So i'll wait to move on
Cause what if you don't?
We're capturing our lives in long exposures
But the summer's over, now you're going home
And i'd starve if i was living off of closure
But that's the only thing that i don't really want
So i negotiate my mental state
Becoming all the things i hate
Just looking for some real estate in your heart
Then i'll nose dive back into real life
Finally realized that i didn't like it to begin with
I'm spending my whole life just thinking of you
Then you ask how i've been
And i know that you know
You don't have to pretend
That you don't
All these thoughts in my head
Is this really the end?
So i'll wait to move on
And i keep having nightmares where you're married
And painfully we go our separate ways
Then suddenly the phone will ring
I pick up and through tears i'll hear you say
That he didn't stay
You ask how i've been
And i know that you know
You don't have to pretend
All these thoughts in my head
I can't lose you again
I can lose you again
But that's when
You ask how i've been
And i know that you know
You don't have to pretend
That you don't
All these thoughts in my head
Is this really the end?
So i'll wait to move on
Cause what if you don't?
What if you don't?
