Parallel

There are some things you ought to know,
Starting with that I never wanted you to go.
Everything about you always took my breath away...
I hope that I'll finally get over you some day.

I thought our lives would intersect, but they're running parallel...
For me, that realization was my very own private slice of hell.
I miss your smile, your eyes, and your voice...
Losing you was never going to be my choice.

And baby, I fought for you,
What else was I supposed to do?
I gave it my all and lost you anyway;
All I could do was watch you walk away.

I guess that, after all, the lion really did know best;
He warned me that you'd rip my heart right out of my chest.
And I guess that I should probably be ashamed...
I'm in this mess 'cause I wouldn't believe you were playing games.

I thought I knew you better, I thought that they were wrong --
I guess to all of them this sounds like the same old tired song.
I've tried to convince myself that I don't miss what we had...
But truth be told, I'm miserable without you and that's too bad.

I guess the secret's out, I guess I played your fool...
But only because I didn't think you were this cruel.
All along, you were playing games with my head...
At least I didn't let you get me into your bed.
