about

As told by Victoria and Brenden.

This song was written as a confessional conversation between the two of us, about separate events where we acted both acted poorly, in a similar way.

lyrics

I wiped her tears, I listened to her cry
Over the boy who never seemed to have time

I've always hated people like me
But I never gave much mind to mirrors

So I'll just get to sleep and tell myself "we were just kids."

Do you believe I was the one who convinced her to call it off?
Then months later, made that very same boy mine

And how I'd test the water, always pushing her down under further
Taking for granted and I didn't even think enough to regret it

At this point I know I've dug too deep
To ever truly fix things between them and me

Strung along behind for so long
I wish she wouldn't have held on

But I can't say that I went down without a fight
I tried to push my feelings on to another guy
Oh, the way I led him on
It was disgusting, it was wrong
And once it was all over, I lost two friends, but gained a lover

As a parting gift what I'll get is that awful tightness in my chest
Every time someone else attracts her interest
And if there's anything I hope this taught you
(At her expense I learned best)
It's that everything your father said about boys is true
(And all that's left is the ruins of us both)

It's funny, all the things I did to get to him
It's funny, cause I'd do them all again

Now I'm nothing but loose change lost under your bed
And I'll never be anything more again because of what I did

We were just kids, but I wouldn't ask you to forgive
