Thanks?

I had just moved back to town
I had a nice job
I had a cool car
That I lived in
You had a house full of friends
I bought pizza and pot
For a spot on your couch

I... I tried pretty hard to love you
I thought we were queer enough for me to be
Someone I'm not
Looking back, there may have been some red flags
But first, there was joy

I moved up to your twin bed
We shared T-shirts and jeans
And wore matching outfitsto gay prom
We got our own place downtown
Our fights turned violent
But I thought we were trying
To fix things

I... I tried so fucking hard to love you
I thought we were queer enough for me to be
Someone I'm not
It took two
To get ourselves into that mess
But how... how could you?

Now I don't even bother to hate you
You might deserve it, but I just don't care
You threw me across a room
Betrayed me with an awful act
But why did it take all that?
For me to see
I could be the good guy in my own story

I had to work so hard to love me
I thought... I was too queer to accept
Who I am
I suppose
If that was what it would take
I... could even say 'thanks'
