I Wrote This Song

When I first started writing this, I swear

My intentions were well

And I'd start with maybe a memory or two

But then I saw you for the first time in a while

And awkward thoughts brought awkward smiles

And I left your room for the very last time

And I know that I can't sleep

With all of these things, they're running through my head

So I stayed up and I

I wrote this song about you

Isn't that cliché of me to do?

But it's nothing for you

The band just needed something more to play

So don't blush or "hooray" at the possible sound of your name

'Cause, no, I wouldn't go that far, no

Now I, I've watched these years disperse

And still this verse lacks words

And I'm losing all but a memory or two

'Cause now I see you and I can't hold back a smile

Your fashion's long gone out of style

And there's nothing left to impress me anymore

'Cause I know that I can't see

That same girl that I had known so long ago

So I gave up and I

I wrote this song about you

Isn't that cliché of me to do?

But it's nothing for you

The band just needed something more to play

So don't blush or "hooray" at the possible sound of your name

'Cause, no, I wouldn't go that far

No, I wouldn't go that far

And you're dying to know

If a "thank you" will show up on my back sleeve

But I don't think I'll tell

Of who crafted this hell and fixed it on me to the world

I wrote this song

I wrote it about you

I wrote this song all about you

Yeah, the band just needed one more song to play

Yeah, the band just needed one more song to play, yeah

I wrote this song about you

Isn't that cliché of me to do?

But it's nothing for you

The band just needed something more to play

So don't blush or "hooray" at the possible sound of your name

'Cause, no, I wouldn't go that far

No, I wouldn't go that far

No, I wouldn't go that far

No, I wouldn't go
