1999

1999 was the year that I arrived
Same year I met you
Guess we've been in this for a while
Of you my eyes never tire

She can’t tell me how to live no more

Left your boyfriend with a scar
In shattered pieces left my heart
Staying in, my curtains shut
Avoiding what was scaring us

She can't tell me how to live no more

How can I reply with more than I’m fine
When you project all your problems and perceptions on my life
Damn life

I was down and out
Told my friends to call
No one was listening
Thought there is where I end

One day you popped up
A sunflower in the dusk
I didn't think it was much
But you became my all

Put all my hope in us
All my happiness
Yet neither of us were at our bests
At rest

I’ve never been love like I am with you
But it's not enough to stay miserable

I gotta get away, get away
Girl nothing makes me sane
I gotta get away
There’s nothing else

Ahh
If I stick with it I know I’m gonna lose it
Know I'm gonna lose them

Hair braided
Cross faded
Both waiting on the other
Bet I'm cutting ties
With everyone else

She can't tell me how to live no more
