told my friends he's the one yeah they laugh and they make fun i knew he was
told my friends he broke my heart oh why didn't i listen when they told me that you would right from the start
the feelings crawling up my spine put myself into it way too much every time
really placed my bets on you don't you bother being sorry you're not sorry now i'm feelin' sorry too because
i used to sit and think about holding your hand
and now im lookin back and i just don't understand
tell me why
just last week you made me smile
now you make me wanna cry why
do i do i even care indecisive love affair
see your face hear your name all the thoughts i used to think when i would think about you i think again
all the memories we shared laughing at your jokes while you playin with my hair nothing can compare
friends they tell me to forget put you out of sight i bet that's what you wanted
now this isn't my forte my indecisive nature when it comes to making choices it wont ever go away because
i used to sit and think about holding your hand
and now im lookin back and i just don't understand
tell me why
just last week you made me smile
now you make me wanna cry why
do i do i even care indecisive love affair
told my friends he's the one yeah they laugh and they make fun i thought he was

Ira

Ira was a friend I met a minute or two ago I may be young but I'm the one with the old soul
Who needs perfect when imperfects what you got and I've got a lot Uncertain of the motivation pick myself a up and a brushed myself off
Only Ira knows what Ira's got
Obscurity is such a sinner when you're losin' track of what you even thought and i've thought a lot
Ira maybe our paths will meet again
Will surely miss you if they don't old friend
Think I got you figured out but I will never know
'Cause now I'm goin and goin your goin I'm going here we go
I don't know quite where I'm goin I'm just flownin I've been flowin from the start
Oh Ira is anyone that fills the empty hole in my heart
The metaphor is hard to grapple with I'll figure it out and ill make it rhyme and I've got time
Emotions unnamed untamed the music's my therapy
Ira's scattered in my life a-so-translucent like a ghost that I can't see
You're like my baby blue blanket bringing back something from the past And this time its gonna last
Ira maybe our paths will meet again
Will surely miss you if they don't old friend
Think I got you figured out but I will never know
'Cause now I'm goin and goin your goin I'm going here we go
At first I didn't know why I was writing I was fighting like a hard to swallow pill
But now I know that Ira's no friend but Ira's the way that I feel

You're like the answers in the back of the book all I gotta do is look for your solution
So predictable it just took a look I knew you all from the start there ain't no confusion
Try to come off as so mysterious makin me delirious got me lookin left and right
You don't know who you really are, burn out or football star drivin in your brand new car yeah that's tight
I ain't psychic but I know the shots you call
It don't take a fortune teller to predict it all
Baby start to strut give up the crawl
You're being someone your not, but thats not my fault
My standards may be high for the perfect guy I'm sure you'll be him someday
Don't gotta live a lie take off the mask or you'll have to pay
Oh my tomato, are you a fool or no? Baby tell me oh, my tomato T-O-M-A-T-O should i let you go or no
Stop hiding underneath that swoopy hair don't need to show your underwear for some love up in here I swear
You try so hard to make these friends leavin youi in the end promise they don't give a care
You think I'm gonna be so easy like the other girls so sleazy that though just makes me queazy, so get out of here
I wish you'd know how hard I throw in this game of love ya know how I do I don't I don't play fair
I ain't psychic but I know the shots you call
It don't take a fortune teller to predict it all
Baby start to strut give up the crawl
You're being someone your not, but thats not my fault
My standards may be high for the perfect guy I'm sure you'll be him someday
Don't gotta live a lie take off the mask or you'll have to pay
Oh my tomato, are you a fool or no? Baby tell me oh, my tomato T-O-M-A-T-O should i let you go or no
You're like the answers in the back of the book all I gotta do is look for your solution
Oh baby, my standards may be high for the perfect guy I'm sure you'll be him someday
Don't gotta live a lie take off the mask or you'll have to pay
Oh my tomato, are you a fool or no? Baby tell me oh, my tomato T-O-M-A-T-O should i let you go or no

I'm rather torn in terms of what I want
Should I stay or should I go or if I go will I get caught
No thats okay I'll get left behind as always
I have become utterly cliche, unrealistically day dreaming sends the pain away
Oh this facade, it might seem quite odd, but inside I'm brewing
I'm not complaining I'm just stating facts
But I fear that the continuous monotony will cause me to crack
Give in to your desires before your time expires
Why can't I practice what I preach
It's my life, I'm the dictator
Why am I going down up escalators?
Away from the goals I'll never reach
Insomnia will lead to my demise analytical and troubled and so sunken eyed
I will digress there's no need to stress the routine is sticking
I can't explain the feelings that I feel
Although it's strange I will assure you that they're very real
I'd rather be without sympathy instead of your faking
I'm not complaining I'm just stating facts
But I fear that the continuous monotony will cause me to crack
Give in to your desires before your time expires
Why can't I practice what I preach
It's my life, I'm the dictator
Why am I going down up escalators?
Away from the goals I'll never reach

Happy

Boy meets girl and girl meets boy
He's growing on her to him she's just another toy
He's movin on while she's stuck like glue
He's so sure of himself while she don't know what to do
Summer days grow short, theres a change in the weather
She's feeling a chill and it's cause they're not together
But for right now I'm happy that you're happy
She thinks of him every once and a while
Not as often anymore there's a hint of a smile
The emotions were off now she's feeling alright
She doesn't need him for now he's practically out of her sight
The people are right but the timings all wrong
But she'll do it she'll get through it that's why she's writing him this song
But for right now I'm happy that you're happy
Cause maybe in a year or two you'll be thinking of me I'll be thinking of you
But for right now, I'm happy that you're happy
