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. 

[Chorus:] 
(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.

[Chorus]
