Plain english, let's sit down and talk this out
Just two adults, there's no need to scream or shout
I have no doubts that you were good in all of your intentions
But I feel that there are aspects that you've failed to mention
So go on, tell me, was I the problem? Don't you lie
I can deal with the fact I'm just another dumb guy
I suck at relationships, and when elation slips
I don't want to be the one that explanation skips
I wasn't banking on my ranking to win over your decision
I was hoping and then coping with infliction of division
Diving into metaphors, trying to reach a better score
Ignoring every person who kept telling me to "get her more"
Is this worth fighting for? Yes, you better believe it
But I'm no longer convinced you really want to perceive it
Maybe you wanted to trade me in for a little fast fun
I've solved 99 problems, now you're the last one

There is no bounty that I'm trying to collect
I'm just counting the days while I sit and reflect
I didn't that think that the pieces were completely perfect
But I was trying my hardest just to make them connect
Every time I reach demise I just sit and dissect
Trying to keep my emotion and all my memories checked
Sitting and then wishing for another resurrect
No use in the cryptics, I gotta get direct

I'll assure my victory through our faded history
The memory meant more to me than just some jaded misery
My happiness is blasting this; my music will fill the void
Because no matter what my stature this cannot be destroyed
I'm not overjoyed, no, but at least I gained inspiration
Cause I can't stop thinking about you and can't shake the frustration
I know we can still talk, I know I seem like a jerk
So sorry it's been awhile, I feel I might go berserk
See I did not fall in love, but I was teetering on the edge
Almost got pushed off the ledge, but wasn't so fast to allege
I'm still there, trying to back up, but my balance is off
You're an irresistable force, like a flame to a moth
I can't help myself, I need to jump, but I can't stomach the fall
Like I built my home up here; velocity will just steal it all
You can't just pull me back now, what's in the past is done
I've solved 99 problems, now you're the last one

There is no bounty that I'm trying to collect
I'm just counting the days while I sit and reflect
I didn't that think that the pieces were completely perfect
But I was trying my hardest just to make them connect
Every time I reach demise I just sit and dissect
Trying to keep my emotion and all my memories checked
Sitting and then wishing for another resurrect
No use in the cryptics, I gotta get direct
