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 I 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 all your silent treatments
I'm still trying to convince myself that
I never knew you
I never knew you, oh

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
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
