lyrics

I was way too honest from the outset, terrified of repeating past mistakes. I was way too honest from the outset, I think that might be part of what scared you away. The last thing I wanted was for you to be just another pretty finch in my menagerie, just another bird caged and confined only by these feelings we’re not allowed to express. Ironically it’s these feelings that forced you to fly into that cage. I’ve become a reluctant collector of complicated friendships, it’s a cycle I don’t quite know how to break. Adding another exhibit wasn’t exactly part of the plan. We both know how this will end. Both know, both know. You said that you could picture yourself in the future, living alone in a houseful of cats. The irony is I know that you’re allergic to cats, so as bad lines go I could totally see through that. You were totally putting up walls, preparing to run. Like when you told me while we were making out that blue eyes really freak you out, something that someone attracted to me would never say. When I was your age dating girls your age, all the girls your age were chomping at the bit to settle down. Now the girls your age when I date girls your age are terrified of any guy who wants more than just to screw around. I’m sorry I wanted more than just to screw around.
