The Ballad of Misguided Affection

I really didn't think you loved me.

I really believed you were using me.

Like one day you wouldn't even think twice to leave.

Like I wasn't someone but something.

But you look at me like you're mine,

Like we have truly turned back time,

Like you've been here all along,

Like I finally heard that song

For the first time.

And now I see

It wasn't you,

It wasn't me,

It's just that we

Weren't listening.

I wanna cry.

Because I was blind,

And you were right,

It's no small crime.

With you there's no difference between

The floor and the highest ceiling.

With you it's not all or nothing,

It's everything or anything.

But now there's nothing I can do

But drink beer from a champagne flute,

And champagne from a beer can.

I wish that you would understand

I need you back.

And now I see

It wasn't true.

It wasn't me

That needed moons

Or onyx rings.

I wanna cry

Because I was blind,

And you were right,

It's no small crime.

And now I see

It wasn't doomed.

It wasn't me

That needed you

For anything.

I'm right on time.

Now it's everything or anything,

It's everything or anything you had in mind.
