Convince Myself

Told myself this time it would be different And you and I could really make it work That you're just really busy, you're not distant And you're scared to commit, 'cause you've been hurt before My friends are getting tired of me asking About you, I can't help but bring it up They say if it was real, I wouldn't ask them how you feel If they think that you might be the one When will I realize If he wanted to, he would Six words I never understood It's not fair Why can't I accept the fact that you don't care? So I make up excuses Like your phone died, hit red lights, so that's why you're late But you're acting different, you're acting strange Why am I always so forgiving just to keep you mine? When you don't give me reasons to believe that you want me I'm back on the shelf I shouldn't have to, have to convince myself Used to talk all day, you're getting slower (slower) Haven't asked to see me in a while Or maybe I just overthink and that's the normal way of things I question myself like a child (question myself like a child) When will I realize If he wanted to, he would Six words I never understood It's not fair Why can't I accept the fact that you don't care? So I make up excuses Like your phone died, hit red lights, so that's why you're late But you're acting different, you're acting strange Why am I always so forgiving just to keep you mine? When you don't give me reasons to believe that you want me I'm back on the shelf I shouldn't have to, have to convince myself So tired of being burdened with figuring you out Oh, you're constantly changing, I constantly doubt If any of it is real, if you even exist Oh, you say that you care, but I'm not convinced Oh, it's not fair Why can't I accept the fact that you don't care? So I make up excuses Like your phone died, hit red lights so that's why you're late But you're acting different, you're acting strange Why am I always so forgiving just to keep you mine? When you don't give me reasons to believe that you want me I'm back on the shelf I shouldn't have to, have to convince myself
