lyrics

You don't want to be my summertime
No you freeze me in your atmosphere, squandering my life, even though
You don't want to be my summertime
Yeah, you're poetry without a rhyme
missing you my lonely summertime

I fell before and I'll fall again, brush myself off and do it again, count slowly backwards 1 to 10, better watch my temper, before I end up back in the pen, cuz I'm living in sin, and I'm out to win, better watch me grin, cuz I'm sensitive, heart made of tin, too thin even though I'm still eating
I'm sorry if I was violent
I'm sorry if I lost my head
I'm sorry for everything I did
to make you feel like a beat up kid
And I know what you been calling me
and I been so damn forgiving
why don't you try do the same
but you love it too much when you got me to blame

aha, yeah, love it too much when you got me to blame

You don't want to be my summertime
No you freeze me in your atmosphere, squandering my life, even though
You don't want to be my summertime
Yeah, you're poetry without a rhyme
missing you my lonely summertime

I know better now, than I knew before, cuz I never knew how you'd mop the floor
with me, on my knees, try to please, can't you see, how I spend my life trying to kiss your feet, but everything like that is over cuz, I found out how to not to be what was, I'm not that thug you thought I was, done changed everything about me becuz

I'm sorry that your clock was ticking
I'm sorry about the bad decision
you made without proper precision
never should of listened to my derision
misunderstand everything I say
Misunderstand everything I do
Never took the time to walk in my shoes
Or else you know everything I did I did for you

aha, yeah, everything I did I did for you

You don't want to be my summertime
No you freeze me in your atmosphere, squandering my life, even though
You don't want to be my summertime
Yeah, you're poetry without a rhyme
missing you my lonely summertime
