Boring Me

THE LYRICS:

This is getting boring
I have the same thoughts every day
And though a whole new world surrounds me
The old one wants to stay
And that is boring
I must defeat
All the phantoms who recycle and repeat.

This is getting dull
I know all you see
Is a messed up boy
Acting obsessively
Well that is false but what is true
My old calendars won’t breathe
But I often wish they do

Bridge:
When I know I can’t get what I want
Still wanna have it
And I build and build you up so much
It becomes a habit

Chorus:
And now I know it’s time to say it’s over
It’s all done
Cause the past ends
When the present has begun
It’s all over
It’s all through
Giving up’s the hardest thing to do
Me and you…

Seems like yesterday
When we used to yell and scream
And the ten percent of you that’s good
Serves to feed a dream
I’m getting tired…maybe old
Still I do the opposite of what I’m told

And you’re getting angry
At the mention of my name
No matter how far I run from you
Still I feel that same
That’s what I do…that’s what I do
And if you think you’re sick of me
Try being sick of you

Repeat Bridge and chorus

You  can’t see the end
When you’re stuck in review
(You would have stayed
If you were the one).
