The Same

Looking out over the city,
All the streets they look so busy.
Out of millions
I'm here thinking about you.
Maybe it's the lights making me,
feel this way tonight.
Or just the fact you used to look at this same view.
But oh, oh, oh,
nothing's changed,
After all you're still the same.
But oh, oh, oh,
if I changed
was less familiar would you stay?
If I was less of a fool,
If I hadn't admitted myself to you.
And if you never knew,
How crazy and frustrating I am,
Hard to be around somedays
If I had only known I'd fall for you.
I'd fall for you.
Watching all the ones I envy
How they turn and run so pretty
Still I can't give you
the chase you've given me
Now it's all out on the table
You can run willing and able
But you know this secret that I keep
And you don't leave
But I'd rather watch you struggle
Than watch you pretend you're humble
You know how hard it is for me
To hear you call me friend
But oh, oh, oh,
nothing's changed
After all, you're still the same.
But oh, oh, oh,
if I changed
Was less familiar would you stay?
If I was less of a fool
If I hadn't admitted myself to you
What would you do, if you never knew
How crazy and frustrating I am
Hard to be around somedays
If I had only known I'd fall for you
Oh what I would do
You're like a flower to me
And when you're here blossoming
I take what I can get
Cause you'll soon fall away
And I see the leaves are changing
I'll never be like home to you
But I'll still watch you go as you fade
And I will pray
that someday
I'll be less of a fool
Next time around
I won't reveal so much of this to you
Tell me now
If you never knew me in this way
How crazy and frustrating I am
Hard to be around you these days
I wish I had known I'd fall for you
Cause if I'd only known I'd fall for you
Then I'd be less of a fool
If I had only known I'd fall for you
I'd fall for you
