Keyrings

Come around and pick up what ever you'll be needing Photographs and presents we thought that we'd be keeping Boxes full, door is locked. Lighten up your key ring
You see now, you are not what I need

Was it a plea for some attention?
A critique on my commitment?
Is the irony even worth a mention?
Infidelity won't keep my friendship
Well I received the message, you exist—but now I need to exit
I wish you would have tried to treat the disease
Not shriek and scream at the symptoms
But let's not confer on the evidence
Remember that words aren't everything
Action is worth more than sentiment
And the fact is you practiced a treacherous act
So no amount of work and all the kisses in
The world could reverse the hurt triggered in me
Wasn't it the lack of assiduity on my behalf
That attracted you to me?
It's confusing see, my aloofness seemed
To be what grabbed you yet proved to be
Why you stabbed me in the back, abusing me
What a class act… cue the laugh track
A statistic we're doomed to be
Tragically, yet almost dutifully
'Cause our parents didn't make it so who were we
To assume this street wouldn't use deceit
To bruise and beat us ‘til we lose in defeat?
Hearts so fragile like figurines
Our bickering is sickening
So I'm slipping in a reverie, tipsy
Reminiscing thinking of the memories that'll live with me
I'll be missing you, will you be missing me?
We had it nice for a minute but it might take a little bit of time
For me to say hi, 'cause you were…

As for me, I always think with my head…
But not always the one that sits on my neck
So if I'm convinced, I might let someone mitigate the risk by getting in my bed
Then kicking 'em out when I'm finished and I'm spent
Complicit we dive in but hiding never goes right yet still I'll try again
And again and again, every minute I spend
'Cause anybody can be tight friends
But if benefits slide in then everything might spin
Out of control if jealousy drives them to want
The power to hold one another, all the others
Get left out in the cold; possession—an obsession that emerges
I was tested and did the best of my work
And several lessons have been learned
Like this just wasn't really destined to work and
Confessions are investments that hurt
But eventually are the best things to cure our burnt hearts Cursing the dark, I’m working to spark a light in my life
This blasted lothario's asking to start anew tonight
In my room I lie down with a suit and tie now
Looking to ignite towns, so I am
Never gonna be the man you want me to be
I can only be the man I've always been and honestly Monogamy is not in the cards for us
So we'll depart and just keep on living
You will never be the one that I am looking for
So all I can really do for you is show you to the door
The world keeps spinning and if we were to begin again we'd keep on slipping…

I'll come 'round and pick up what ever I'll be needing Photographs and presents we thought that we'd be keeping Boxes full, door is locked. One less on my key ring
You see now, I am not what you need.

We'll come 'round and pick up what ever we'll be needing Photographs and memories, do they keep their meaning?
Boxes full, doors are locked. Lighten up our key rings
We see now, we are not what we need.
