Lyrics

I too used to want him to be proud of me
 And then I just wanted him to make amends
 I wonder what lies he's telling you about me
 To make sure that we'll never be friends
 And it's a shame, because you and I didn't get a witness
 We're the only ones who know
 We were cursed, the moment that he kissed us
 From then on, it was his big show
 I grew concerned, when I saw him start to covet you
 When I learned what he did, I felt close to you
 In my own way, I fell in love with you
 But he's made me a ghost to you
 I watch him let go of your hand, I wanna stand between you
 But it's not what I'm supposed to do
 I watch him walk over, talk over you, be mean to you
 And it makes me feel close to you
 It makes me feel close to you
 It makes me feel close to you
 It's not what it's supposed to do
 It makes me feel close to you
 I too, wanted to make him proud of me
 And then I just wanted him to make amends
 I wonder what lies he's telling you about me
 To make sure that we'll never be friends
 And it's a shame, because you and I didn't get a witness
 We're the only ones who know
 We were cursed, the moment that he kissed us
 From then on, it was his big show
 From then on, it was his big show
 From then on, it was his big show
 And you're wearing time, like a flowery crown
 Sitting that, sitting that big cat down
 And I'm alone on the summit now
 Trying not to let my light go out
 I too, used to want him to be proud of me
 And then I just wanted him to make amends
 I wonder what lies he's telling you about me
 To make sure that we'll never be friends
 And it's a shame, because you and I didn't get a witness
 We're the only ones who know
 We were cursed, the moment that he kissed us
 From then on, it was his big show
 I grew concerned, when I saw him start to covet you
 When I learned what he did, I felt close to you
 In my own way, I fell in love with you
 But he's made me a ghost to you
 I watch him let go of your hand, I wanna stand between you
 But it's not what I'm supposed to do
 I watch him walk over, talk over you, be mean to you
 And it makes me feel close to you
 And you're wearing time, like a flowery crown
 Sitting that, sitting that big cat down
 And I'm alone on the summit now
 Trying not to let my light go out
 Trying not to let my light go out
 You're wearing time, like a flowery crown
 Sitting that, sitting that big cat down
 And I'm alone on the summit now
 Trying not to let my light go out
 Oh, I too, used to want him to be proud of me
 And then I just wanted him to make amends
 I wonder what lies he's told you about me
 To make sure that we'll never be friends
 To make sure that we'll never be friends
 To make sure that we'll never be friends
 To make sure that we'll never be friends
