lyrics

LYRICS:

Am I supposed to act like I didn't see that?
Am I supposed to follow the lead of everyone around me?
Are you just hiding your secret?
Am I supposed to act like none of this is happening? Well,

I'm just one of a kind
I don't care if you forget me, 'cuz I tend to forget myself
You're not willing to say it like you mean it
Just plain out-of-my-mind
You don't care that I forgive you
That's fine, I'll just forgive myself
I'm not willing to find this in my regrets

I played the wedding song so softly
Nothing's that hard when you've repeated it a million times
None of your friends knew that when they saw me,
I was a car ride and a few airplanes ahead of time already

'Cuz I'm just one of a kind
I don't care if you forget me, 'cuz I tend to forget myself
You're not willing to say it like you mean it
Just plain out-of-my-mind
You don't care that I forgive you
That's fine, I'll just forgive myself
I'm not willing to find this in my regrets

And I tried to act like I wanted to see you again
And all I realized was: I hate acting

'Cuz I'm just one of a kind
I don't care if you forget me, 'cuz I tend to forget myself
And I'm willing to call it like I see it

Just plain out-of-my-mind
You don't care that I forgive you
That's fine, I'll just forgive myself
I'm not willing to keep this in my regrets
