The Next Time

We met down by the water
So young in love, I know
I was such a monster
And now I'm here alone
I look at my reflection
But I feel no connection to me
Next time I'll be stronger

When they say "be yourself and you won't get hurt"
It turns out that's not the truth
Can you see yourself for all you're worth?
No I'm not sure you do

Next time we can do it your way
I didn't mean to belittle all the things you said
And when you cry are you thinking of me?
I know I lied, I don't know why, it's just the way I am
Sometimes we would get so insane
I swear I won't tell a soul of the things we did
Next time we can do it your way
I promise you

I'm back down at the water
I thought you might come back
But I couldn't wait much longer
For you to arrive

How have so many years gone by?
Are you still that self-proclaimed shy guy?
And I'm still the monster
