What Does Your Fortune Cookie Say?

(album: Everything I Used To Trust - 2013)

I've tried too hard for far too long.
And I tried to make a name for myself,
But I won't hold my breath for this.
And I won't bite my tongue for this.
Counting down the days 'til I can
Leave this place and do what I was born to do,
But my mind's a mess and I hope to God that my mood swings soon.

You'll never have the faith in me I wish you had.
And I've been doing my best just to make it right again.
You'll never see the day you swallow your pride,
But if you ever do remember who was always there for you.

The one who held your hand when you cried
In my passenger seat that night,
You told me I'd become too much for you.
But last year, I wasn't enough for you.
It's funny how things change.
Yeah, it's funny how things change.

You'll never have the faith in me I wish you had.
And I've been doing my best just to make it right again.
You'll never see the day you swallow your pride,
And that's just how it's always been.

Remember how it felt? We had the world on a string.
Remember how we'd promised we'd never let it drop for anything.
But you let go and I moved on we let it drop and scraped apart.
We tried to fix what wasn't broken, don't try to fix what isn't broken.
