The Anniversary

Perhaps this is a mystery best left unsolved.
Please put Scoob and The Gang back behind your walls.
I'll just take these boxes and rebuild my fort,
then draw up the bridge 'cause I don't need support
-- and definitely not from you.

So lash out, then back down, then come up with fists.
You're crazy. It's over. Look, we were just kids.
So lash out, then back down, come swinging again.
There's no way in Hell that we can stay friends.

Maybe you should stop jumping, leave this princess unfound.
I'm not as worthwhile as you make me sound.
Just save all the memories that you keep so close
to the heart you put on paper between all your notes.
I'm sorry I couldn't love you.

So lash out, then back down, then come up in tears.
I know I'm crazy, I'm all my worst fears.
I'm stupid and ugly, a self-centered bitch.
Don't wanna die lonely, but I know I'm shit.

Leave me alone. No, I don't want to talk.
You've hit this wall before, don't act so shocked.
I'm not your lover. I'm not forever young.
I'm a caged bird with cancer and holes in my lungs.
I'm tired of singing for you.
