Boys Like You; Girls Like Me

Oh darling.
i miss you so much
and you're not even gone.
you aren't even leaving; its me who is
but i just can't stand to be without you.
you lied again; you hurt me again.
and i guess thats just what i get for letting people in.
for letting you in more specifically.
because i knew this would happened
and i knew i would cry
and i knew i would miss you while i'm seeing you
standing right in front of me.

i was hoping maybe this time it'd be safe to just believe you
but honey, its boys like you that make girls like me
fall apart.
and even though its fun for you to play me
and its fun for you to love her while saying you love me...
i can't do this again.
and i can't spend my forever
waiting for you to give up your promised forever
with her.
i want to tell you that promises never last
but i know your promise to her is more of a vow.
you'll be with her until the ends of the earth
where you'll see me
holding that crumpled picture of you and me in my hand
and screaming at the sky; we were meant to be together.

you're my someone, but as luck would have it
my someone has someone else
and she's just everything i can't be.
and i'm singing the words to our song;
you just don't know it.
but its us, its everything...
its nothing, i guess.
just like i'm nearly nothing.
i'm just your play toy and as much as i hate to admit it
i was just happy to be anything in your life
no matter how degrading it may be.

i may have been weak to fall victim to your stupid words again
but honey, give me some credit.
i think i'm in love with you and its not easy
to walk away from someone you'd die for.
but here i am, standing on your front step
ready to tell you i'm done playing your stupid little game.
so open the door.

she looks so gorgeous with you hanging off her.
your a wonderful accessory and i must say
you do accentuate her eyes.
and now i'm standing here looking stupid
and you're both smiling, hers is friendly
you're taunting me.
and i can't even get the words to the tip of my tongue
much less out of my mouth
and before i know it i'm running down the street
not looking behind me
because i just want to keep believing you're chasing after me.

run, darling, run.
because this time, i won't stop and wait up for you.
but you aren't coming.
you were never coming.
you're all over her again and...
and...

oh darling. i miss you.
