lyrics

If I sailed this letter out to sea would it reach the shore?
Would you pick it up and read it aloud or just ignore?
Would you think I'm wrong if I sang a song for you tonight?
Could you stand the thought of me being right for once?
Whoever knew.

You said that I could never be what you wanted me to be.
Then why wouldn't you let go of my sleeve?
Like a ghost from hell. Like a prison cell. Like a sun that burning up.
Like when every day it feels like the world's about to end and nothing goes right.

Against better judgement.
You're against all that's right.
Against better judgement.
This has to end tonight, you swear.

I'll squeeze my bear and I pull my hair and I scream until I drop a lung.
I let my tears fall onto you as I hit the desk.
I'll whisper "I'll miss you"
I'll whisper "I need you with" with my eyes closed tight.
Will I ever feel right again?

Against better judgement.
You're against all that's right.
Against better judgement.
This has to end tonight, you swear.

I don't understand.
I'll never understand why this doesn't feel right for you.
I don't understand.
I'll never understand why leaving would feel right to do.
I don't understand.
I'll never understand why I fell in love with you, you swear.

Stay on rewind so I can stay in your mind.
