Bare Minimum

i begged you to text me good morning when you wake up

i asked you if we could be friends on facebook

and i asked you to ask me about my childhood

and you rolled your eyes and said i can't be serious

you could start your own cult

you could make a living on giving false hope

you're an optimists antidote

off the radar and laying low

bare minimum

you use words like maybe, possibly, you guess

selective ignorance and can't commit to plans

instead of living together you wanna live with your dad

30 years old, still throwing things when you're mad

i'm paranoid noticing patterns and names

i tried unlocking your phone and the passwords changed

you're a liar with a passion for the game

you have alibis and excuses for every thing

you could start your own cult

you could make a living on giving false hope

you're an optimists antidote

off the radar and laying low

i daydream about older versions of you

i idealize like hopeful lovers do

i pretend im done and end up at your place

i know you won't change, i must be insane

i begged you to text me good morning when you wake up

i asked you if we could be friends on facebook

and i asked you to ask me about my childhood

and you rolled your eyes and said i can't be serious
