I used to know this boy
Who gave his love away

To every girl he met
And with all the games he played
He never seemed to cry
He never got upset
And one by one they came
And one by one they left
I thought that I could fix him
If he would let me in
But all of my advances
Were shut down in the end
When days turned into months
I begged him to explain
And this is what he sang:

I just want every girl I see
To walk away with part of me
Until theres nothing left to hold
Until theres nothing left to hate
I appreciate your help
But even you can't save me from myself

I used to know this girl
Who took notes in a book
But she ripped out all the pages
Before I got a look
At all the words she scribbled
At all the lines she filled
But the ink stains on her fingers
Told me she was skilled
At capturing a feeling
That most of us just miss
The simple pain of living
With goodbyes on our lips
I found one of the pages
Crumpled by his bed
And this is how is read:

It's not like I am weak
Or that I don't know how to leave
It's just that everytime you cheat
You bring me closer to defeat
Until theres nothing left to love
Until theres nothing left to say
I know that you need help
But even I can't save you from yourself.
