About pettiness and being the bigger person when you don't want to be
lyrics
You made safe seem like a tourist trap
a pit stop not plotted on any map but I
still found it far away from you
and that don't do much to unfrustrate me
you were more or less moralless, guarunteed
so I don't know why you're acting so confused
'cause I'd rather take a walk than take a punch
if I'd known it'd take so long I wouldn't have given up so much
we can twist and shout our words to pinpoints who the hell to blame
but I won't name any names... Amanda
I once knew a guy about five foot five
he picked fights each night with guys twice his size
he'd lose each try and act surprised as he
took a dive toward a pair of black eyes
what a tough guy, what strong cry
I sat him down and asked him why.
He sighed, gave no reply
I found out he died the very next night
but I'm twice as dumb as him for loving you.
'cause I'd rather take a walk than take a punch
if I'd known it'd take so long I wouldn't have given up so much
we can twist and shout our words to pinpoints who the hell to blame
but I won't name any names... Amanda
Tell your friends I'm just another creep, a brief
time-killer while you found your feet
just a space-filler wedged between
more suitable suitors more in your league
or a remedy for boredom. we seemed great
but in reality
I was one of three, or seventeen
I've never seen a lie to this degree
but now that I have a mic and people listening to me
I swear I'll keep the strictest code of anonymity
Amanda
'cause I'd rather take a walk than take a punch
if I'd known it'd take so long I wouldn't have given up so much
we can twist and shout our words to pinpoints who the hell to blame
but I won't name any names... Amanda
