Awkward elevator conversations at least I tried
That's more than I can say for you
I'm tired of thoughtless people with nothing to say on anything, to anyone
For now i'll just make sure that I take the stairs
It's longer, that is true
But it'll put an end to wasting words on the likes of you
Given the chance to change one thing i'd have erased you from the start
I'd take my time
Move to brighter city streets lights
And that way then you might have kept your distance and left what's mine to me
So that I can be alone as I surely deserve to be
I've been tempting fate as if it's something that I believe in at all
I tell myself "it's okay, you're doing fine"
As if I don't f*ck this up every time
I prepare for the handshakes and kindly words
Knowing full well that you have heard it all a 1000 times
But hey, could 1001 really hurt?
Your day to day dumbs you down
Your tired head numbs you out
And that's as you deserve to be
