Partly Cloudy

I want to get this down since you were the first
And that makes you the worst
All your other ex-boyfriends think that you’re cursed
While I’m still standing here waiting with lips pursed
The only problem that I ever had with you
Is that you were just too good to be true

I used to realize that the world made sense when I looked in your eyes
But wow, what a surprise when I try to look in them now I just want to cry
Roll over and die
Instead I put on a disguise and tell a lot of lies
That it doesn’t compromise my pride to despise you with other guys
And now I’ll take a moment if I may
To say you were my little ray
Of sunshine and now when I lay
On my back and look up at my sky it’s all gray
It didn’t matter what I had to say
You didn’t want to stay
So you just ran away
And I still pray everyday that you’ll come back and play

Because I still wish that I could have you and hold you
Even if that wasn’t exactly what I told you
But I think you know me because you saw through
Me the very first day that you met me
And I know you would never have let me
Put a scar on my arm the day that you left me
All you ever wanted to do was to protect me
And you didn’t realize just how much you upset me
But I’m really fine now, I still look forward to the sunset, see?
I’ve just got to move on from the life that I knew
Got to stop being amazed at all the things that you do
And just say goodbye to you
But I don’t want to
If I could just look through your point of view
I would probably find half the shit I believe isn’t even true
I just find it hard to conceive that after all that we went through
And everything we meant to each other we’re through
