Your hair cascading down the widow pane,
Your smile is degrading my happy face.
‘Cause I know you think that I’ll do anything,
Just to please your needs.
One day I’ll look back and wonder why,
I thought you were perfect, and then I’ll sigh.
Thinking that I would have screwed things up,
Reality sets in, I already did, just keep your mouth shut.
When you’re in a black tux, and looking good
Everything comes into perspective…
Talking loud, looking big, with no respect…
Yet, secretly so, so repressive…
How should I leave you, this fine night?
What do I do, for your final good bye?
I could kiss you, and then leave you as I drive away,
Maybe I could walk you home, after a horrible date.
I’m not an easy person to understand,
But I’m not a puppet,
There is no string to my hand…
I said I'm not an easy person to understand,
But I'm not a puppet,
There is no string to my hand...
Now that you’ve changed your mind,
And the shoes on the other foot,
Should I do what I feel necessary?
Or should I do what I want…
