I’ve been miserable for days
Thinking it’s just some end of year malaise
But I realized that isn’t it
I’m just tired of putting up with this shit
Why should I always be so goddamned understanding?
Plenty of people get what they want by demanding
All my compassion never changes a thing
It makes it that much easier to leave me in the wings
I deserve better than this
I won’t be conveniently dismissed
Every signal was green
I could make a passing reference and you’d know what I mean
Suddenly our rapport
Didn’t exist on that plane anymore
Panic crippled you and what might have been
Opportunity lost, nobody wins
You knew what you wanted but you backed away
And I just bet that you’ll regret the decision some day
I deserve better than this
You’re not my equal with your cowardice
No apologies for this song
‘Cause I was right and you were wrong
I’m not sure what else you might expect
From someone holding on to a shred of self-respect
I already know what you’ll say
Recycled conversation from yesterday
It seems for months you haven’t heard me at all
Too busy feeling guilty that I’m in your thrall
Well, let me tell you, I’m over it now
Your innocent arrogance cured me somehow
I haven’t pined for over half a year
So just get over yourself, my dear
I deserve better than this
No castoff crumbs from an egotist
I deserve better than this
No taste of pity in a lover’s kiss
I deserve better than this
I’d rather learn to live with loneliness
