This one's a song about this girl that both me and my best friend at the time were interested in, but she ended up leading us both on and playing us off of each other. So by the end of the whole situation, all I could call her to get through it was "Her".
lyrics
-Verse 1-
Several days can feel like several months
But yet I’m able to recall
How quick it all went by but now it’s done
And how I never knew at all
I wanted you to want me
But I think I fell for you
But I knew it would be too good to be true
I thought that I was special in your eyes
Guess that was my mistake right there
I thought you took an interest in my life
When you acted like you cared
I opened up but now you’d rather
Ride on my best friend
So pinch me, wake me up when this shit ends
-Chorus-
And now I find myself not knowing what to do
Cause she’ll never like me the same way she likes you
But I know there’s no use whining, cause the past is set in stone
And it feels like you and I will never know
-Verse 2-
Well I can’t say this hasn’t happened to me before
But it wasn’t the same as then
I had reason to believe that you were sure
But now I’m flailing away again
And everyone is telling me
I should just cut and run
So why am I still trying to hold on
I can’t say that I’ve felt this way before
So all the words I wanna say
Are scratching and they’re clawing at the door
Desperately trying to escape
I’ve told you I don’t catch the signs
Until they’ve been long past
So how can I be sure that this would last
-Chorus-
-Bridge-
One day I will move on but now my thoughts are filled with doubt
Just go do what you want but please be sure to leave me out
I’ve found my ways to cope before and it’s no different now
At this point I’ve just learned to live without
-Chorus-
But I know there’s no use whining, cause the past is set in stone
And it feels like you and I will never know
