Put Me Out for Good

Can you clarify?
What do you mean
When you describe your eyes as green?
'Cause I see hazel
With flecks of basil
Speckled throughout that sparkle like an angel's
Such a simple label
Diminishes its beauty
I feel that it's my duty
To inform you of this truly gorgeous view
Made possible by you
Now I always will remember our random rendezvous

Can you specify?
What do you see
In him that you don't see in me?
'Cause I don't get it
And I try not to let it upset me
But you just won't let me forget it
And I wish I didn't mind it
But being constantly reminded takes its toll
I hope you know
Even though I try to fight it
I can't resist
And the thought's a bit upsetting
So excuse me while I insist
To go on attempting my forgetting

I would shoot myself in the foot
Before I'd bite my tongue and watch you
Put me out for good

This is how it ends
With a smile and a sunrise
Lost inside of your eyes
As my words betray me again

I would shoot myself in the foot
Before I'd bite my tongue and watch you
Put me out for good

But there's something I must admit to
I would leave the one I'm with
For the chance to be with you
(Oh no! No he didn't!)

So don't you go and test me
How can you expect me
To respect your poor decision?
When given the opportunity to choose me and you refused
See now I can only imagine
Where we'd be if it had happened
At all
