I love not knowing where I’m gonna go
But, thanks to you, I avoid all the back roads
It’s been a long time coming for me to turn around
You turned your back and let me back down
Give me back my apathy
‘Cause I was better off when I didn’t know what a heart beat was
What a heart beat was
Don’t you forget now
(The window’s open)
Don’t you forget now
(It let your ghost in )
Don’t you forget now
(The latch is broken)
‘Cause I never claimed to be rational
And I never said it came natural
Why can’t we just be real?
Without an interpreter, you speak in tongues
And you expect me to understand where you’re coming from
You said in code that you thought I was the one
But what you really meant was someone
Quick to bed apparently
Well I was better off when I didn’t know what a heartbeat was
What a heartbeat was
‘Cause I never claimed to be rational
And I never said it came natural
(But you see through me every time)
It all became such a bad dream
I don’t wanna be just a memory
(How could you leave it all behind?)
I always knew it was meant to be
Now it’s plain to see
You gave up on me
Why can’t we just be real?
You know I only belong to you
And you know I’d never do wrong by you
…I never said it came natural (The window’s open)
(But you see through me every time)
It all became such a bad dream
I don’t wanna be just a memory
(How could you leave it all behind?)
I always knew it was meant to be
Now it’s plain to see
You gave up on me
(Because I couldn’t toe the line)
I’ve always been such a good girl
Never asking more than what you gave before
(But now I’m selfishly inclined)
But now I’m begging you sing to me
A melody our hearts can beat
Why can’t we just be real?
Why can’t we just be real?
