Political

I was tired of being put right down
 By myself for not being what you thought
 You had found pulled hard in two directions
 By a desire to learn and my old affections
 When I tried to share my world with you
 You could not seem to tolerate
 The people I had grown to love
 They shrank under your scrutiny
 Became the ones you'd hate
 Why did everything
 Every little thing, every little thing
 With you and me have to be so political?
 I was feeling a little underwhelmed
 About hanging around with you and
 Feeling over cautious every word, every little look
 Every little sig, every little phrase
 Put me deeper in your doghouse
 You'd let me out to run across your world
 I ran into a wall you told me I built you
 Then you'd reel me in, ream me out, pick me up
 Push me out again and then repeat it
 Why did everything
 Every little thing, every little thing
 With you and me have to be so political?
 Too busy tripping on my tongue
 To try and stand my ground
 I can still see myself crying in your lap
 Asking you, "Are you happy
 With the man you have found?"
 I'm greatful for what you did for me
 I can see things now I never would have seen
 Today, I thought about what could have been
 But could never be for you and me
 Because everything
 Every little thing, every little thing
 Wtih you and me had to be so political
