Forgetting to Know You

I'm trying to forget what you said
But it's real
It's how you feel
I'm trying not to judge you by the moment that you lost it

Impulse has gotten the best of me
We both fell so damn far in so little time
And now I'm left with
Nothing but scraped elbows and knees
That bleed for you

What ever happened to discretion?
You lack consideration and cause me indigestion
What ever happened to sympathizing?
The thought of you and me is no longer enticing

Let's tolerate each other again
The benefit of the doubt is a beautiful thing

You know me too well now
This fiction is becoming real now
You're crying. I'm screaming
Things were better when we were pretending

I used to consider myself a good judge of character
Until you proved me wrong
Mascara stains on feather pillows remind us:
The best times that we'll have together are behind us

Let's tolerate each other again
The benefit of the doubt is a beautiful thing

You know me too well now
This fiction is becoming real now

Let's become less acquainted
It's obvious: We're better off as strangers

We jumped too fast
We moved too soon
We fell so far without a chute
It's obvious: We're better strangers

You're crying. I'm screaming
Things were better when we were pretending
When we were pretending

What ever happened to compromising?
The clock on the wall is desensitizing us

Let's tolerate
I can't tolerate
It's obvious: We're better strangers

You're crying
I'm screaming
It's obvious: We're better strangers

Impulse has gotten the best of me
We both fell so damn far in so little time
And we're still falling
It's obvious: We're better strangers
