At seventeen I found the friend I base my friendships on and I guess
base my relationships on too. We laugh so hard that I forgot what the
word boyfriend meant till I woke up and remembered it's not you.
I know that you think I am the strongest girl you know, so I can't
break your heart by telling you you're breaking mine.
Now you're in love, and I'm so confused because I feel like I said no,
and while I can't tell you what I want, I'm afraid to let you go. I
sat down to write one hundred times that I'm sorry, when I realized
I'm not sorry, I'm just scared. And I can't tell you because I can't
tell the difference between what is comfortable and where I need you
in my life.
I know that you think I am the strongest girl you know, so I can't
break your heart by telling you you're breaking mine.
Now you're in love, you write her poems, and I feel like I've been
replaced, but I know if I were in love, I'd still write you everyday.
I know that you think I am the strongest girl you know, so I can't
break your heart by telling you you're breaking mine.
And I should have told you before the feeling slipped away that I
wanted you to kiss me in the Berkshires on your birthday. And I'm not
as strong as I'd have you believe.
