Go ahead
Ask away
Anything you want to know I'll answerAsk why I've stuck around so long
Because I'm certainly not someone who typically does
I leave at the first sign of trouble with anyone
I don't put up with shit
I don't let myself become invested in anyone or anythingAsk why I could still be so stupid
To even think about you in any way
After everything we've been through
After how far we've gone
After all this time how could I still be here and be so stupidAsk what I think
And what I feel
Although that one's a little harder to answer
You see, it's difficult to answer a question you don't know the answer toAsk me what I want
But I can't give you an answer there either
I probably don't want anything
I rarely ever doAsk me about the texts
And the smiles too
Ask me if I mean to flirt
I flirt with lots of people
It's a survival method
Pretty girl flirting almost always gets what she needsBut go ahead and ask me
Because sometimes I do
Mean it when I flirt with people I mean
Not often but
SometimesAsk yourself why you're just noticing now
I haven't changed the way I act or talk or think
I'm still the same me
And my thoughts on you haven't changed in a whileAsk yourself why you're scared
What the worst that could happen is
If all you did was ask me questions
No one's coming to rip off your head
Words don't always mean action
Often they can helpSo ask away my darling
Though you're not mine anymore
I'll answer best I can
Then pretend we never spoke
Get on with our lives after
Still be the almost and the was
But never again the presentOn one of these crisp Autumn days
Just maybe we can close our book for good
End our little show
Put away our circus acts
And our thin titanium puppet strings
Just ask
Ask away
