The List

You told me that I was special. You told me you liked my smile. You told me I was the only one who could make you laugh and make you cry. About a girl who feels like an idiot because she believed the lies a guy told her. R&R Please!

Verse 1

The walls are closing in on me

And I pray to God that

No one will ever see me in this fragile state

I'm in

I'm falling apart

And no one should witness it

I don't want anyone to comfort me
I just want to be alone

I don't want you to hold me

I am used to being on my own

This fragile state I'm in

You brought it upon me

But I don't want you to be the one

To make it go away

Chorus

I just wanna stay

Right here

I just wanna breathe

I just wanna be your only one

But I'm not

So let me just stay right here

Let me breathe for a little while

Cause I'm not your only one

I didn't even make the list

Verse 2

Yeah I know about the list

The one you and all your friends wrote

that one time when you decided to rank the top 100 girls in our school

Yeah cause I have a friend who knows a friend of yours

And they got a copy of the list and I made them show it to me

I wasn't on it

And yet you told me

That I was special

You told me you liked my smile

You told me I was the only one

Who could make you laugh

And make you cry

Chorus

I just wanna stay

Right here

I just wanna breathe

I just wanna be your only one

But I'm not

So let me just stay right here

Let me breathe for a little while

Cause I'm not your only one

I didn't even make the list

Verse 3

So riddle me this boy

What is your problem?

Cause you used to make laugh

Now all you do is make me cry

Did they try to change your mind?

Did they tell you not to bother?

Is it really just the way you are?

Did you not grow up with a father

To remind you not to treat girls like shit

And that girls don't find it funny

When you tell you them you like them

Then hit on their best friend right next to them

Chorus 2

I'm sick of waiting right here

I'm sick of breathing your air

I don't wanna be your only one

I just wanna get out of here

I don't wanna breathe your air for even a little while

Cause I'm not your only one

I didn't even make the list

Outro

It's ok I'm not upset

I guess I just thought that you kinda sorta liked me

I guess I was wrong

You and that girl seem perfect for each other

I mean, she is number 3 on the list

I hope you're happy with her

Ok, so I might be a little upset

And I might wish that she cheats on you and tears out your heart

But it's not my fault that you lied to me

It's not my fault you told me I was special

So I can't really be held responsible

For anything I wrote about you in this song

I guess

What I'm really trying to say

Is…

I hope you die old and alone

But I'm not bitter or anything
