1999 was the year that I arrived Same year I met you Guess we've been in this for a while Of you my eyes never tire She can't tell me how to live no more Left your boyfriend with a scar In shattered pieces left my heart Staying in, my curtains shut Avoiding what was scaring us She can't tell me how to live no more How can I reply with more than I'm fine When you project all your problems and perceptions on my life Damn life I was down and out Told my friends to call No one was listening Thought there is where I end One day you popped up A sunflower in the dusk I didn't think it was much But you became my all Put all my hope in us All my happiness Yet neither of us were at our bests At rest I've never been love like I am with you But it's not enough to stay miserable I gotta get away, get away Girl nothing makes me sane I gotta get away There's nothing else Ahh If I stick with it I know I'm gonna lose it Know I'm gonna lose them Hair braided Cross faded Both waiting on the other Bet I'm cutting ties With everyone else She can't tell me how to live no more
