Trials and Error Video (MV)

False expectations have opened up a story book of pictures
Painted brightly, catching my attention
And holding me away, keeping me in place
A pretty face, a smile held corrected perfectly in space
Inventing wars for the sake of better stories, flowing pace

And there's a reason there's an "X" in your name, so I can cross you out and never see you again
And it's driving me crazy, this seeing you daily is mad

And maybe, without you, it's easier to see
I'm not going to stop you from trying no matter what you ever meant to me
And after deciding, I think it's finally obvious
That I was struggling to reach, and you were dragging me under

Your unexplained deception, a hearts correction of adolescent want
I'm sorry I was only flirting the way that I'd been taught
So hooray for Hallmark apologies, all your crass cliches would be the death of me
Provided, you had somewhere else to stay

And I could be wrong, but now as I look into it all
I'm finding a liar expecting desire to fall in her hands
And though I have grown, I think of the car I'll never own
Just so I never have to say those words again
And we've had our fun, but even a history book can be done
So here's to you my could have been

If there's a reason there's an "X" in your name
It's probably so I can see right where your heart is
And imagine letting go
If I was meant to be alone

Why get so sentimental with me?
It's like I'm constantly hearing you speaking
And you know it's driving me crazy
Struggling to reach you

And I was verging the peak and you were dragging me under
Don't get so sentimental
