My Regrets

You said my problem was my lack of love
You said my problem was my hard exterior
You said my problem was I rarely cared
You said my problem was that I'm never there
I know my problem's my lack of balance
I know my problem's my lack of public depth
I know my problem's my passiveness
I know, I know, I know, shut up
 
Why couldn't you just ask me why
Why couldn't you just ask me why
Instead of taunting me of all my insecurities?
It's the easier action
It's the reasonable thing
 
Makes sense to me now I observe it
Yeah, observation's normal
Unlike what you agree with
You love to make things hard
before you know the details
Oh well, I'm glad you're gone now
I just pulled a You, no I don't
 
But those lies will turn real
And we'll both realize what's right with reason
Well, I know I would
But I'm free from you and your accusations
I'm free from your yelling and your late night calls
At least we tried, I guess, again
I'll forget those days and use my passive mind
To remember those bad things to forget you
Again
 
Why couldn't you just ask me why
Why couldn't you just ask me why
But I can keep saying that I'm still sick of you
And, hey, I'll mean it but sincerely don't want to
And, well, I'll think its just a waste to tell myself the truth
'Cause you're already gone, we've already tried,
And I'll be blanking out the past
It's the easier action
It's the reasonable thing
