lyrics

it’s not fair
it’s not fair for me to hold you
to the standard that i don’t hold myself to

you can’t be here with me but you don’t know what that means to me
so i’m gonna go into that field where i ran away

it’s outside your frame of reference
you don’t know ‘cause i don’t tell you
you don’t know ‘cause i don’t show it

you say you can see things clearer
well i must be the great manipulator
or you know but just don’t tell me
that you know all the ways i read your poetry

you wonder what the point is, but i don’t mind
i suggest the battles, but you won’t fight
i asked you where you go when you’re feeling stuck
where you can write me letters and i’ll hang them up
