Shortsighted (Acoustic Version)

Call me a little shortsighted
These feelings are uninvited
My pain's been unrequited for some time
And it sounds all kinds of foolish
And no I didn't choose this
And all I'm trying to prove is I'll be fine

And I know I know I know,
someday this'll end
And that a great tomorrow is
Just around the bend
For now I'll be content pacing
Lines around my head
And I know... it's dumb

I used to hate love stories
They always used to bore me
And leave me feeling poorly about myself
Now as life drags onward
Feeling lonely gets awkward
"Just be patient" is all that I've heard
And who can tell

And I know I know I know, someday this'll end
And that a great tomorrow is
Just around the bend
For now I'll be content pacing
Lines around my head
And I know... it's dumb

I want a love that's gentle
And a little bit sentimental
To make the mundane seem eventful everyday
So I'm here for the taking
Though my hands are shaking
From the smiles you're faking my way

And I know I know I know,
someday this'll end
And that my great tomorrow is
Just around the bend
For now I'll be content
Singing songs inside my head
And I know... it's dumb
