lyrics

i don't understand this
i thought we might be alright by now

and all that i wanted
was all that i had
all that i had

and you still haven't been by
i've been theorising like a madman
pretending that this could still work out

she said it's best if you be on your own
and i felt my heart split in two
and i just want to be with you
but you cast me into the blue
some day, we'll find our way
and i just want to hear you say
i love you, i love you, i love you, too

it's been over 2 months now
why am i not mending?
been losing myself obsessing
over time you're spending

and it's impossible to understand my own mind
i keep thinking there's something wrong with me
maybe there is
maybe there is

she said it's best if you be on your own
and i felt my heart split in two
and i just want to be with you
but you cast me into the blue
some day, we'll find our way
and i just want to hear you say
i love you, i love you, i love you, too

i've tried to theorise my way back to sanity
but i don't think it's that easy
trapped in a cage
stuck on a page
reluctancy sets the stage

she said it's best if you be on your own
and i felt my heart split in two
and i just want to be with you
but you cast me into the blue
some day, we'll find our way
and i just want to hear you say
i love you, i love you, i love you, too
