Between You & Me - Rear View lyrics

I haven't spoken to you in a long time But it feels like yesterday I left your car a lonely kid With tears in my eyes What did you expect from me? A little kid too f**ing weak To stand up to my enemies Dad come on, I'm just thirteen I'll never be you prodigy Accept that it's not meant to be And I'm sorry for falling short The things that I left behind don't make me upset Because your apologies They never meant that much to me I'm so sick of trying to fight this sense of contempt Because your priorities They never once included me You're patiently waiting in this hole again But I kept in my head and to myself So force your ways on someone else You never gave me room to grow on my own I feigned my interests in all your hobbies Just so I could have a shot at making you happy You know I tried (God, how I tried) But it's so hard with no similarities The things that I left behind don't make me upset Because your apologies They never meant that much to me I'm so sick of trying to fight this sense of contempt Because your priorities They never once included me You're patiently waiting in this hole again But I kept in my head and to myself So force your ways on someone else You never gave me room to grow on my own It took some time, but I find comfort in this message that I write Because you weren't much to lose I never needed you It was time to shed that callus skin Because you were too hard on me So I'll say goodbye to all the times you called And breathed honesty And breathed honesty And breathed honesty
