lyrics

It always stings when the love is gone
She wants to sing but a different song
I always think of the spring when it got started

We were kids but I felt so old
She liked my tricks and I liked her poems
It’s how you feel when you win something you wanted

And I can’t believe you came knocking at my door
You’re not naive, so from you I’d expect more

Built a fence but I felt alone
Took my meds and I charged my phone
Lost some friends and I kept some
“Kid, it happens”

Working hard but I’m unemployed
Women say I don’t fit the mold
“They don’t know what they’re missing, kid, without you”

And I can’t believe you came knocking at my door
You’re not naive, so from you I’d expect more
Since when was it okay to walk around like you’re in charge
You shouldn’t stay but you should thank the world at large

I don’t want you thinking that there’s another reason
I don’t want you thinking that there’s another reason

And I can’t believe you came knocking at my door
You’re not naive, so from you I’d expect more
Since when was it okay to walk around like you’re in charge
You shouldn’t stay but you should
Yeah, you should thank the world at large
