I’ve been down, I’ve been around but I’ve never seen nothing like you before

I need you but you needed me, “needed” not “need,” not now
I want you but you wanted me, your past tense bringing me down
So just go, just leave, you’ve got me screaming words I don’t even mean
So just go, just leave, you can’t even see the mess that you’ve made of me

Is this what I should feel? Should I be happy you made happy real for a while?
Or rather pissed at where you’re leaving me here? Should I thank you, shit, are you for real?
You want a thank you, well here’s one dear, thanks for making my fears real

I’ve been down, I’ve been around but I’ve never seen nothing like you before
