Lyrics

Been told a thousand times
We’re making plans
While all the gods
Laugh on
Still I can’t kick my pride
Thinking there’s something I could have done
Somewhere off there’s an abstract door opening
I know I know I know
Even though it was never about me, hard not to take it personal
Am I so oblivious
To have thought that you were serious
And now you’re asking me what’s fair
What’s fair
Just to change the story
Long since you been here
You’re asking me what’s fair
What’s fair
What’s that ever had to do
Now thats something just for you
//I won’t indulge in hypotheticals I won’t indulge in hypotheticals
But go on asking if it makes you feel better//
I’ve made the call to look ahead
Been cracking the reigns on my imagination cause
Looking for answers inside your head was leading me
Down into some
Dark places
Guess there’s peace in cause and effect
I know I know I know
Well aware that nothing lasts forever, hard not to take it personal
Am I so oblivious
To have thought that you were serious
And now you’re asking me what’s fair
What’s fair
Just to change the story
Long since you been here
You’re asking me what’s fair
What’s fair
What’s that ever had to do
Now thats something just for you
//Been written, done wishing
So don’t come at me now that you’re missing out//
//I won’t indulge in hypotheticals I won’t indulge in hypotheticals
But go on asking if it makes you feel better//
