what i need to say
is so minor in scope but enough that it shakes me

so maybe it's a sign of what lies
beneath my fault line
and its strange
cause now i've changed
how i define what's "you and i"
safe to say it's "crazy"
at least to me cause i've

been married
to an image of me without you in between
what i'd call
all my common sense
and a heart on short sleeves
and you probably
think this in-of-ordinary
but

put yourself in my place
and i think
you know as well that
sometimes it's not what's said
but what it means to tell

it shouldn't have to be this heavy
this is stupid
it's not worth all that i
might do
and all the attention it might get
so there's no need to help me
cause it's foolish
i'm just falling in to like
with you
no need for your concern

and yet...

given the context

could you accept the kind of reasoning
that "it's not you it's really me"
cause
what this all could mean
in the bigger scheme of things
seems to escape me
and leaves me here to think

what am i doing?
i can't help the way that i am with you
and
how that's not news...
but it's like how i was
with you-know-who
from you-know-when
from way-back-then
it's strange to feel like that again...

and why...
i try to pretend
that i act this nice to all my friends
just a little bit less...
when it comes to them

it shouldn't have to be this heavy
this is stupid
it's not worth all that i
might do
and all the attention it might get
so there's no need to help me
cause it's foolish
i'm just falling in to like
with you
no need for your concern

so what could be
an easy thing
to not reveal
has found a need
to make itself known
and i have to laugh at the fact i react
to something so small

but for me it feels like
i've finally stopped dragging my heels
and i'm not telling you at all
but thank you for the way...
you're letting me tell myself straight to your face...

it shouldn't have to be this heavy
this is stupid
it's not worth all that i
might do
and all the attention it might get
so there's no need to help me
cause it's foolish
i'm just falling in to like
with you
no need for your concern

so...
here i go
making something big from something trivial
am i the kind
that has to confess that he's falling in like?
