This song delves into the inevitable post-breakup introspection of "was it me" and realizing yeah, it kinda was.

lyrics

You
You watch me walk away
watch me walk away with nothing
and nothing to say

You
You just send me on my way
right out into the day
so I go and find some shade

and write this song
and slip it underneath your bedroom door
let it leak out onto the floor

And all of the giving that I did,
was too heavy for this kid
I shoulda run away and hid
but I thought I knew what it was worth
so I swallowed all the hurt
hid my heart under my shirt

I guess I was scared so I went and copped and easy lie
once you start you barely have to try

I felt the fear welling up
overflowing in my cup, a travesty
is headed straight for for me

But I know what I did, I understand
was weaving in and out again
a tapestry of self-indulgent immaturity

and to think I had it all figured out
I've known myself my whole life
but dunno what I'm about
cause I always, always, build my wings on the way down
trouble is, one day we all hit the ground

And now I watch the credits roll
and everyone gets up to go
but not me
I like to wait til I'm the last one in the row
sitting here all alone
feet sticking to the floor

just one more minute please
so I can see
if there's a secret at the end of the movie
