mandy

flicking embers in the the daffodils / you didn't plan to tell me how you feel / you laugh about it like it's no big deal / crush the fire underneath your heel / i'm surprised that you're the one who said it first / if you had waited a few years, i would've burst / everything comes up to the surface in the end / even the things we'd rather leave unspoken

we both know that it would never work / you've got your girl, you're gonna marry her / and i'll be watching in a pinstripe suit / sincerely happy for both of you / so what changes, if anything? / maybe everything can stay the same / but if we never talk about it again / there's something i want you to understand

you're a big deal / you're a big deal / you're a big deal / you're a big deal /

you knew when you caught me reading at your show / i knew when you came to visit in the cold / we could've done something that we'd come to regret / "do you remember?" you say how could i forget? /

we both know that it would never work / you've got your girl, you're gonna marry her / and i'll be watching in a pinstripe suit / not even wishing it was me and you / so what changes, if anything? / maybe everything can stay the same / but if we never talk about it again / there's something i want you to understand
