Fireflies twinkling in the dark
Little lights that lead me away
Went off the path
To try to catch one but it led me astray
Thought you didn't catch the hints
I sent to you but you went on your way
So sure of your opinions I didn't want to tell you
That it was a little cliche
I try to save you from yourself
And from those stupid feelings
From other people that you really don't need in your life
Just open your eyes and tell me what you see
And if you can
Let me know what you're thinking
Starry nights
Watching them with you
You're so smart sometimes
But you're also oblivious to
Everything I've tried to make you understand
There's more that's going on, more than meets the eye
You don't know why (don't know why)
I always try (always try)
To make an effort to spend time with you
And those unnoticed signs
I don't know why (don't know why)
I even try (even try)
Cause you never see between the lines
It's been too many times
I try to save you from yourself
And from those stupid feelings
From other people that you really don't need in your life
Just open your eyes and tell me what you see
And if you can
Let me know what you're thinking
I don't know why
I even try
Its so frustrating how you don't get it
It makes me wanna cry
I don't know why
I even try
It's too much effort to make it work
