You're thanking me for decency
And it's keeping me awake
Guess I was brought up alright
You told me that you needed me
When I woke up too late
I hope you know I'm not just being kind
'Cause you don't get to choose when something stops
Even if it only lasted 2 months tops
But that doesn't matter now
It doesn't matter who you want me to be
Whatever happened to you
I'd rather it happen to me
I swore I felt you yesterday
When I couldn't sleep
I thought about how I'd risk doing time
I'd suffocate the enemy
Get them tangled in the sheets
But not the way I'd want you here in mine
Cause you don't get to choose the way things go
Even if you'd take it back or take me home
But that doesn't matter now
It doesn't matter who you want me to be
Whatever happened to you
I'd rather it happen to me
You could have your back turned while I preach about you
You could make this messy but I'd never doubt you
I don't want to
I promised you some time ago
That I would sit and wait
Don't worry 'bout me baby I'm just fine
'Cause you don't get to choose when something stops
Even if it only lasted 2 months tops
But that doesn't matter now
It doesn't matter who you want me to be
Whatever happened to you
I don't want to
