I knew when you told me that your parents bought a vacation house on the lake
I knew when I heard about those festivals in June we wouldn't make it to May
I said I can't save you
You said why do you offer to
I said I don't know why I am this way
You said you never asked me to change
I said I wish I had stayed exactly the same
Months have passed and sure it's felt like ages since you have been gone
But I still feel the warmth of you in my bed as dusk turns into dawn
Still feel the way you smiled when I see others smile at their lovers
My friends don't understand cause they've never known someone
Like we knew each other
But I'm not your mother
Wish that I had been
Wish that I could be
I wish I could care
But I'm not your mother
I'm not your savior
Know that I could be
But what would that make me
Why do I have to be your mother
For you to want me
For you to see me
For you to just care
Why do I always have to therapize
To fit the way you fantasize
Til eventually you get tired
And leave me behind
I can't exist for you
And you can't exist for me
Go exist somewhere else
I can't exist for you
You can't exist for me
Go exist somewhere else
In a beach house I'll never see
I can't exist for you
You can't exist for me
Go exist far away
In a beach house I'll never see
I can't exist for you
You can't exist for me
Hope you find your peace of mind
In a beach house I'll never see
I want my first love back
I want all those hugs back
Wanna undo all the love we shared
So I never have to be scared
At least I know for my next one
I'll be prepared
