fortnight

(Andersen/Ackerson)

How you blame me, I just can’t see, you told me not to fall for you
In two more weeks, we’re done forever, you and me
But I can see it now, in your eyes and in your smile
You said that you’d be leaving, I really don’t believe you

Just write me off before you fall in love
Don’t let your conscience do you wrong
I know the place and time, and it wasn’t what you had in mind
And I don’t need you, whoa, and you don’t need me, still I wish you’d see that I

I’ve been lying to get by, this isn’t really who I am, no
You could be the remedy, I could be sane
Had I known from the first night
I wouldn’t have left you all alone

With two weeks past of “could this last?” another day I’m drawn to you
Enough to say, before forever, we will see
‘Cause after years in fear of false starts and worn out hearts
Well you’re giving me that feeling again, I think I might be healing

Go chase the moon, the stars, your heart’s desire
I hope your dreams will all come true
I’ve heard your alibi, and I don’t believe that it’s a lie
No I don’t’ blame you, whoa, and you don’t blame me, still I wish you’d see that I

I’ve been lying to get by, this isn’t really who I am, no
You could be the remedy, I could be sane, if you want to
Had I known from the first night
I wouldn’t have left you all alone

I won’t pretend to know the demons of your past
But the reasons you create, they’ll just keep you from believing

I’ve been lying to get by, this isn’t really who I am, no
You could be the remedy, I could be sane, if you want to
Had I known from the first night
I wouldn’t have left you all alone
All alone
