We both went to the 12 rods show,
And pretended not to see each other,
The only thing we swore would never happen,
No matter what else did,
And i don't really blame you, i suppose,
Lord knows it was a perfect let down,
But i remember feeling like,
The only people in any crowded room.
I'm still trying to convince myself,
I don't care if you think i'm an asshole,
I'm still trying to convince myself,
I hope you're happy now.
Now you're making jokes at my expense,
Whatever makes you smile,
And holding hands with a formerly mutual friend,
Whatever makes you feel strong.
I'm still trying to convince myself,
I don't care if you think i'm an asshole,
I'm still trying to convince myself,
I hope you're happy now.
When you base your whole identity,
On reaction against somebody,
It's the same as being in love.
You look so happy,
I hope it's not a performance for my sake.
I'm still trying to convince myself,
I don't care if you think i'm an asshole,
I'm still trying to convince myself,
I hope you're happy now.
I'm still trying to convince myself,
I deserve a silent treatment,
I'm still trying to convince myself,
That i never knew you,
I never knew you, oh.
When you base your whole identity,
But i'm asking for your forgiveness,
'cause you know i meant no harm,
And i'm kind of ashamed,
I can't say i behaved well,
But i'm asking for your forgiveness,
'cause you know i meant no harm,
And i'm kind of ashamed.
