For The Girl, I Wrote

I saw you smiling as I wrote this song
Try to convince you that I've done no wrong
As for you,
There's nothing I can do

When I leave there's something you should know
Don't follow when I decide to go
Cause you won't miss me when I'm gone
The days go on and on

I don't know if there's anything to say
Except, "We're better off this way,"

I'm riding lies that promise cherished dreams
You always wanted to reach out to me
But don't shed a tear
Cause I'm in up to here

If I could take the past and make it mine
Then everything would be so fine
But just as I guessed
I lose and you forget
