you look so happy

we both went to the 12 rods show

and pretended not to see each other

the only thing we swore would never happen

no matter what else did

and i don't really blame you

i suppose

lord knows it was a perfect let down

but i remember feeling like

the only people in any crowded room. i'm still trying to convince myself

i don't care if you think i'm an asshole

i'm still trying to convince myself

i hope you're happy now. now you're making jokes at my expense

whatever makes you smile

and holding hands with a formerly mutual friend

whatever makes you feel strong. i'm still trying to convince myself

i don't care if you think i'm an asshole

i'm still trying to convince myself

i hope you're happy now. when you base your whole identity

on reaction against somebody

it's the same as being in love. you look so happy

i hope it's not a performance for my sake. i'm still trying to convince myself

i don't care if you think i'm an asshole

i'm still trying to convince myself

i hope you're happy now. i'm still trying to convince myself

i deserve a silent treatment

i'm still trying to convince myself

that i never knew you

i never knew you

oh. when you base your whole identity

but i'm asking for your forgiveness

'cause you know i meant no harm

and i'm kind of ashamed

i can't say i behaved well

but i'm asking for your forgiveness

'cause you know i meant no harm

and i'm kind of ashamed.
