Have you ever stopped to think that maybe
Just maybe
I leave you out because I’m afraid you’ll be bored
You won’t care
That I leave simply to get out of your way?

Or that maybe
Just maybe
I’m afraid that we’re being too loud
Too obnoxious
That perhaps I don’t want to annoy you?

Have you ever thought that maybe
Just maybe
I thought you wouldn’t care
Because you do the same thing too
The leaving
Without a word
And closing the door

I know how it feels
Having the door closed on you
Closed in your face even
That ultimate rejection
“I don’t want you around anymore”

So I know how much it hurts
So you know
That I know

Trust me, I know

I know I’m not the same person when I’m away from you
I know this but it’s never seemed to matter before

Really, who isn’t like that?

Have you thought that maybe
Just maybe
It’s not that you’re not good enough for me
But that I’m afraid
That maybe
I’m not good enough for you?

That I’m just as much afraid of rejection
Of being hurt
Of losing again

Have you ever stopped to think
That maybe
Just maybe
You’ve hurt me just as much as I’ve hurt you

That maybe lying to me would upset me
Telling me you’ll be there
Then making it clear that you won’t
Maybe that hurts
Maybe that upsets me as much as I’ve upset you

I guess I should have said something
Told you that it wasn’t okay
That I wasn’t happy
So it wouldn’t have to end up like this

But I didn’t
I keep things in
Bottled up until they go flat
Or explode
Like a can of soda left forgotten in a freezer

Maybe that's just the way that I am
