Getting My Way

was it surprising for me to feel a little out of place
all the things I'd see were all the things I hate
it was instinct just to never go again
hadn't expected that I'd lose you as a friend

never intended on hurting anyone
I thought you'd understand but apparently I was wrong
was this your way of keeping me
from getting my way with too much ease
or had you hated me all along

thought it'd be worth it, thought I'd leave there with no pain
and all I was losing I would suddenly regain
lost almost all I had of any importance
didn't understand why it happened all at once

so you were right, I was pretty out of line
thought I was excused 'cause I was losing my mind
was this your way of keeping me
from always getting my way
or did you hate me all along

am I naive to think that we could ever be the same
you and I both know that none of us will change
all that we've been through is burried deeply in the past
thought the bond we'd made was strong enough to last

I'm tired of knowing you're not saying what you mean
I try to not admit that I miss you dearly
is this your way of keeping me
out of your way with just enough ease
or do you hurt as much as me
