I Don't Want You Back

1.19.05

I don’t want you back, because it’s so plain to see
I never meant anything to you, but you meant so much to me

I thought you were so smart, I thought you were cool
But it turns out I was wrong, and now I look like the fool

You took advantage of me, and played me like I was blind
And now I look back on those days, and ask myself if I had lost my mind

Thinking that it could really work out, between you and me
Now I finally come to realize, How crazy I must really be

I loved you lots, if only you knew
The real truth, about how I felt about you

But maybe it wouldn’t have mattered after all
You wouldn’t have caught me, when I was about to fall

You were never there for me, and even if you were
You would’ve constantly been thinking about the one and only her

The one that took you away from me, and never let you go
She’s just as innocent as me, but she should’ve known

All I ever wanted was to be truly yours
But you screwed that all up when you walked out the door

You screwed up so bad, and you act like it doesn’t matter
But it will when it’s your heart that I decide to shatter

You say you want me back, like you really care
I’ve thought about it lots, I wondered if I should dare

But then I think no, because you’re so not worth it
You never were, not even a little bit

If it’s sympathy and forgiveness that you say I lack
I say good for me and all the rest, because I don’t want you back
