Settling

I know I can't take one more step towards you
Cause all that's waiting is regret
And don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most
I learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time
And who do you think you are
Running 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are
And it took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
Cause you broke all your promises
And now you're back
You don't get to get me back
And who do you think you are
Running 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
And who do you think you are
Running 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all

Who do you think you are?

Who do we think we are? People really do run around making a mess of near perfection to thrill their own satisfaction. I know I do that to. But who gave us that right? I despise the person that does it to me, but I revengefully do it back. I despise so many things about certain people, and I love so many things about them all the same. But it shouldn't be like that. I should love things about you so much that I don't pay attention to all that I dislike. But it's not working like that. Is that supposed to be compromising? It seems like it's just settling. We could all do so much better if we didn't just settle. Because prior to settling if you could account for unwanted differences in each other, then you would just deal with it--then and there. You wouldn't need a reason to settle. I don't ever want to have to settle. For anything. But I already have for so much. It's up to me whether I take it in my control to change things, or if I settle for what I've settled. All I know is I've been running around leaving scars and so have you. Maybe if I didn't necessitate settling, I wouldn't be revengeful. Then you or I would never really hurt people, because we wouldn't settle for their imperfections. They would just be what they are. We would hurt so much less; but I know that I would think so much more.
