It wasn’t me
It was the words that upset you
But I was speaking the same words
Far before I met you
Problem is
I allowed you to believe
You were more important
Than the word
Words more important than the verbs
But the statement is far greater
Than either one of us
Can you hear me now?
Cuz before you weren’t listening
Paying attention to the sound of my voice
Instead of the message
And now you hate me
Because I speak
The words that make you think
About a life you hid from
Label me presumptuous
For knowing what the words mean
Now
I admit for a while
I allowed you to give my words definition
Until I realized
You didn’t understand what I was saying
And now you hate me
For the same message that brought us together
And while I will miss you
And the meaning of us
As long as I have the word
I don’t need you
Know what I mean?
