A good song

"If you don't know why'd you say so?
Would you mean this please if it happens?
If you don't know why would you say so?
Won't you get your story straight.

If you don't know Honey why don't you just say so?
Cause I need this now more than I ever did
If you don't well Honey then you dont.

I left you waiting.
At the least can we be friends?
Should have never started,
Aint' that the way it always ends?

On my life I'll try today, there's so much I felt I should say
But even if your heart would listen I doubt I could explain

If you don't know why'd you say so?
Would you mean this please if it happens?
If you don't know why would you say so?
Won't you get your story straight...

I'm sorry that I'm such a mess
I drank all my money could get
I took everything you let me have
and then I never loved you back...

If you don't know, Honey, why'd you just say so?
Cause I need this now yeah need this
If you don't well, Honey, then you don't
and if you don't well, Honey, then you don't
If you don't know, Honey, then you don't."



I know this is an older song from Jimmy Eat World. It's always been my favorite though. I love the cycle that the song writer is going through. He's blaming the girl at the same time that he is apologising. It reminds me of a breakup when you know you've messed up big time but you keep asking the person to make a decision about you. The girl is going back and forth and can't make her mind up about him. He's trying to work out the way he treated her in the past and the fact that he misses her now. But in the end he understands that she can't make a decision because he knows what he has done to her. Good stuff from the wonderful Jimmy Eat World...or JEW as I heard them nicknamed once.
