I know you don’t need defending
so long as we’re both still pretending
I’ll just keep my mouth shut
and wonder if I’m even worth your time

I know you don’t want distraction
and you and me, just a vague abstraction
until you make your mind up
but I guess it depends
on the word from your friends
when they call my bluff
be sure to let me know when you’ve had enough

‘cause I’m not the one that you want to be with
I’m not the one that you want, believe it
I’m not the one that you want, to be with, yeah

I know you don’t want attention
and only see us in two dimensions
so I’ll just keep my eyes out
and look for a sign
that you’ve changed your mind

I know I’m too ordinary
to be much more than diversionary
I’ll just keep my hands out
but nobody cares
and the weight from their stares
makes it oh-so-clear
be sure to let me know ‘fore you disappear

(chorus)

you’re not the only one
who’s waiting around
it’s the way that my story goes
it’s always the same thing
always the first in line
but the last to know

I know you don’t need forgiven
it hurts me still but I’ll go on living
I’ll just get my hair cut
so no one has to know that

(chorus)
