Didn't want to write another
Song about my high school lover
But here we are again

I was on the phone with my best friend
It was all innocent
Until I recognized your face
It's been a year since we've been in the same place

Wondered when you'd come around

So when I inevitably see you again
Don't look me in the eyes
I just want to hide
Behind my disguise

You said that I haven't changed
I'll save it for another day
Just know that I've been better off without you

Not that you were tainted in my mind
Just that I've left it all behind
I hope it doesn't offend you
I've finally learned to exit at my cues

I left stage right, hoping you'd be out of sight

So when I inevitably see you again
Don't look me in the face
Open your embrace
Know that I can only take a bit at a time

You wanted to be friends
Not sure I could do it all again
We've never known between the lines
You're in love while I am left behind

Behind

I moved cities, no shortfall
Never picking up your calls
Hundred days and hundred more

Still won't show up at your door
I can't take it anymore

We're not the kids we used to be
So why can't you just set me free

Didn't want to write another
Song about my high school lover
But here we are again
Hoping that this is the end
