"Thinking About Things" lyrics

I just said I love you to a girl I haven't seen
December, I remember she was close enough to me
Now I'm growing up and throwing around some words to reassure
That I'll always love her 'cause I loved her once before

And I don't care, 'cause I'm backed into a corner
And life's not fair, so I'm breaking all the rules
Day by day, don't walk away, you got a good thing going on
I tell myself it's like throw it all away or stick around, around

Away with it I don't wanna stay with it, pass it on
Be strong, hold on, not long ago
Every day is the same thing, tomorrow is the same thing
I hold my head in my hand

Everything that I do
Everything that I say
Everything that I am
Everything seems so wrong

Am I dramatic or am I empathizing with myself?
If it's selfish I don't want it but I know it too damn well
To forget it, forget it, I don't want it anymore
And I just said I love you to a girl I loved before

And I don't care, 'cause I'm backed into a corner
And life's not fair, so I'm breaking all the rules
Day by day, don't walk away, you got a good thing going on
I tell myself it's like throw it all away or stick around, around

Away with it I don't wanna stay with it, pass it on
Be strong, hold on, not long ago
Every day is the same thing, tomorrow is the same thing
I hold my head in my hand

Everything that I do
Everything that I say
Everything that I am
Everything seems so wrong
