DeFord – Crossed Out Lyrics
Artist: DeFord
Song: Crossed Out
I wanna make this sound right ‘cause i care
By that i don’t mean i want to fool you, i just
Want to make sure that you understand
But i’m not saying that i think that you won’t
In fact i don’t, but i think
Maybe it’s a matter of trust
I mean of course i trust you
Maybe i don’t trust myself but that’s alright
I know i’m a mess, i’m doing my best, i’m sorry
I know i won’t get to try again
And by that i mean i don’t want you to
Have to feel like it’s your job to let me
I didn’t mean that this was your last chance to fix me
Not that it’s your responsibility, but
I appreciate the things you do
I want to be open with you
I’d tell you everything i think
But god, it’s just so hard to put it into words
Maybe you don’t care at all, but i
Want these words to feel good in my mouth
Not like that, i mean you probably weren’t thinking that, i’m
Sorry that i thought that you might
Why do you think that i still deserve your time?
I mean it’s your choice and not mine
I just know if i were you
I would’ve given up on me by now for sure
It sounds ungrateful when i word it like that
Which i’m not, just so we’re clear
It means the world to me
I know i can’t show you a thing
So call me out
Fill me up with anticipation
Making light of the conversation
Think out loud
Can we pretend like it never happened?
Can we change how your friends reacted?
Going south
Who am i to expect forgiveness
When i know that it’s not your business?
Let you down
Clearly i’ve got a lot to work on
Really i’d rather be at square one
Than be left out
I want to make this sound right for the books
I’m not expecting you to read me, i just
Want to give this page another look
I’m not suggesting that you don’t know a thing
‘cause you do
You’ve been through it with me most of the time
You know of course i need you
I mean i’m not saying you don’t have a choice
I know i’m a wreck, you’re all i have left, i’m sorry
I don’t want to force you into this
And by that i mean i don’t want you to
Have to feel like it’s your job to help me
I didn’t mean to say that you don’t really get me
Not that it’s your responsibility, but
What you’ve done is keeping me alive
And if i get to survive
I’ll tell you everything i think
But god, it’s just so hard to cut it down to size
Maybe it’s double-crossed my mind
If you don’t mind
I’ll tell you why i wanna get somewhere
I know it’s only in my head
So hear me out
I could butcher the explanation
Blame it all on the constellations
But i’m not proud
I’m ashamed of my inhibitions
I’m a fool, i make bad decisions
Full of doubts
Who am i to expect forgiveness?
Say no rest for the sacrilegious!
Break me down
Maybe i’ve got a lot to work on
Really i’d rather be at square one
Than be left out
If my words can’t explain my vision
I would much rather be rewritten
Than be crossed out
