You were always proud of the things I'd done
Showed me how to smile again,
showed me how to have some fun
I didn't want to be alone
You would always pout when things came undone,
Fighting in your bedroom,
it was obvious to everyone
That's when I wished I was alone.
But through all my doubts I know that I'm the better for your time
When it all came down I realized I hadn't lived my life
You were always loud when we were tangled in your bed,
Wondering who was upstairs well I guess we didn't really even care,
If we really were alone.
Well you're back in town and you want to see me again
Well I don't know how but you're lookin' better than you did back then
Lookin' for apartments and shopping all that day,
I could see the end was coming I could see it right away
Nights in the mountains, rolling on the floor
I was waiting for somebody to come walking through that door,
Pulled your car over on that dusty country road,
we were waiting for those trucks to pass carrying their load,
Flowered blue dress there was nothing left to say,
Yeah we took it back to your house for the middle of the day
Walking down that highway in the middle of the night
Hoping you don't drive up next to me to start another fight
And I can say this sin't how I want to end the evening of my best friend's birthday.
So I tried right there to end it and I tried to walk away,
But I knew we'd stay together to keep fighting everyday
Sometimes love goes out the window and you stay together when its much too late
And now I know all those summer days with you,
Couldn't be much more forgiving,
Couldn't tell me what to do,
Couldn't make me say the right words,
Couldn't help us when we both knew it was through
And now I know all those summer days with you
Couldn't be much more forgiving
Couldn't tell me what to do
Couldn't make us stay together
Couldn't help us when we both knew it was through.
