[Chorus]
I had thought a lot
'Bout the other ways out
That I could have taken to figure you out
And I apologize to nobody now 'cause I am unshaken
It hurts me bad, you'll never know
And that's my gift to you alone
I might be sad, but I'm alive
And unlike you, I can survive
So I made it my job to help you unlock your ways to the good life Without me around
Taxing road for me

[Verse 1]
Summer in your hair and you are gorgeous
I see no disguise
You tell me everything that makes you, you
Now I'm giving you
All of my brain strength to sort yourself out
Keep myself grey, in the background (Mm)
I cannot look at you
So I won't 'til I can tell we both like you
And not just me sittin' here thinkin' 'bout

[Chorus]
How I had thought a lot
'Bout the other ways out
That I could have taken to figure you out
And I apologize to nobody now 'cause I am unshaken
But it hurts me bad, you'll never know
And that's my gift to you alone
I might be sad, but I'm alive
And unlike you, I can survive
So I made it my job to help you unlock your ways to the good life Without me around
Taxing road for me
[Verse 2]
Gotta remember the bad stuff so I don't see
The whole thing through pink coloured lenses
'Cause I tend to believe it was better, forget
And let down my defence
But I am tough, and don't mistake me
For the type who'll pass up a lesson
For ease of the unwise and unwilling
To stick it through the worst of times
How sublime would that be
Would that be (Mm)

[Chorus]
I had thought a lot
'Bout the other ways out
That I could have taken to figure you out
And I apologize to nobody now 'cause I am unshaken
It hurts me bad, you'll never know
And that's my gift to you alone
I might be sad, but I'm alive
And unlike you, I can survive
So I made it my job to help you unlock your ways to the good life Without me around
Taxing road for me

[Outro]
Listen little girl
To the reaction of your broken heart
It made you strong and mad
Put it in a song
Try to replace him with a fading thought
And pretend to talk to your dad
