John Westlake - 090. Are You Aware Of What

2014-06-18 2 Dailymotion

Are you aware of what
you tried to do to me
near two years ago
I can remember it all to the hour

Remember April 26th 2003
must have been about 8: 45pm
the day you said
that you didn’t want to be friends any more
the day you tried to cast me aside

You told me it was my fault
that I made you unhappy
that I gave you no choice
and that I made the decision for you

Did you ever use your eyes
and think about how I felt
when you dragged your misery
into my days every week
when you moaned if I forgot
to call you every day
yet you never rang me

How can it be my fault
if you told me to go
that I could not help you enough
what happened was not my fault but yours
but in reality I no longer care

In some ways I’m glad you’ve gone
before you dragged me down
into your morbid depression
so if I see you in the street
I may thank you for what you did
and I don’t care what you think of me
but I still think that you need to grow up
