Rough Draft

So you wrote it down
 I'm supposed to care
 Even though it's never there
 Sorry if I'm not prepared
 Is it hard to see the things you substitute?
 For me and all my thoughts of you
 It's eating me alive to leave you
 Maybe it's childish and maybe it's wrong
 But so is your blank stare in lieu of this song
 Maybe it's childish and maybe it's wrong
 Don't wanna be, don't wanna be wrong
 You're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this song
 ♪
 I'm breathing in your skin tonight
 Quiet is my loudest cry
 Wouldn't wanna wake the eyes that make me melt inside
 And if it's healthier to leave you be
 May a sickness come and set me free
 Kill me while I still believe that you were meant for me
 Maybe it's childish and maybe it's wrong
 But so is your blank stare in lieu of this song
 Maybe it's childish and maybe it's wrong
 Don't wanna be, don't wanna be wrong
 You're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this song
 Don't wanna be, don't wanna be wrong
 You're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this (in lieu of this) in lieu of this song
 I'm finding my own words, my own little stage
 My own epic drama, my own scripted page
 I'll send you the rough draft, I'll seal it with tears
 Maybe you'll read it and I'll reappear
 From the start it was shaky and the characters rash
 A nice setting for heartache where emotions come last
 All I have deep inside to overcome this desire
 Are friendly intentions and fairweather smiles
 Don't wanna be, don't wanna be wrong
 You're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this song
 Don't wanna be, don't wanna be wrong
 You're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this (in lieu of this) in lieu of this song
