You Look So Happy

(album: Dead Sea Scrolls - 2009)

We both went to the 12 Rods show,
And pretended not to see each other,
The only thing we swore would never happen,
No matter what else did,
And I don't really blame you, I suppose,
Lord knows it was a perfect let down,
But I remember feeling like,
The only people in any crowded room.

I'm still trying to convince myself,
I don't care if you think I'm an asshole,
I'm still trying to convince myself,
I hope you're happy now.

Now you're making jokes at my expense,
Whatever makes you smile,
And holding hands with a formerly mutual friend,
Whatever makes you feel strong.

I'm still trying to convince myself,
I don't care if you think I'm an asshole,
I'm still trying to convince myself,
I hope you're happy now.

When you base your whole identity,
On reaction against somebody,
It's the same as being in love.

You look so happy,
I hope it's not a performance for my sake.

I'm still trying to convince myself,
I don't care if you think I'm an asshole,
I'm still trying to convince myself,
I hope you're happy now.

I'm still trying to convince myself,
I deserve a silent treatment,
I'm still trying to convince myself
That I never knew you,
I never knew you, oh.

When you base your whole identity,
But I'm asking for your forgiveness,
'Cause you know I meant no harm,
And I'm kind of ashamed,
I can't say I behaved well,
But I'm asking for your forgiveness,
'Cause you know I meant no harm,
And I'm kind of ashamed.
