What I Really Learned in Study Hall

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Waking up right next to you is the last thing that I want to do Knowing you don't care 'Cause you're spineless and too much to take My kindness was a big mistake, and it gets me nowhere And I've been reading through your letters Hoping you might never make up your mind And I, I wish I was a boy again Where I could still pretend you were mine (At least for tonight) I'm drinking too much these days, it never seems to help (And there's nothing there) 'Cause you say I'll never change And I'm the only one who I care about when you say [Chorus] That you're leaving and you're ready to go 'Cause you thought I was cheating But I don't think you want to know Well I think that things are better this way When it seems like you're breathing, but you're already dead to me [Verse 2] Making up my mind on you is something I wish I could do But you're so damn thoughtless and I'm not going to lose To any of these games you play, 'cause no one likes you anyway You're just a faceless name So what will you say when I tell you that your life's like a book It's torn and tattered sitting on a shelf where no one wants to look (No one wants to look) No one wants to look (No one's gonna look) [Pre-Chorus] And I'm sure that this is what we want As your face begins to haunt my memories And seep into my future dreams Where no one can hear you scream [Chorus] That you're leaving and you're ready to go 'Cause you thought I was cheating But I don't think you want to know Well I think that things are better this way When it seems like you're breathing, but you're already dead to me [Outro] I think that was pretty good actually
