him/her

(oh, how was i supposed to know?
i should have ditched you long ago
your hands were clawing at my chest)

she's made for him, he's made for her
that's how it seems to look at first
like a fairytale, like a fairytale

she looks across, he's staring back
her world was white, his world was black
we fit perfectly, we fit perfectly

oh, how was i supposed to know?
i should have ditched you long ago
your hands were clawing at my chest
my world was white, your world was black
we mixed to grey, we can't go back
an anti yingyang at its best

she holds his hand, he looks away
he tells her "everything's okay"
understandable, understandable

he calls her names across the phone
and suddenly she feels alone
i don't understand, i don't understand

oh, how was i supposed to know?
i should have ditched you long ago
your hands were clawing at my chest
my world was white, your world was black
we'll fade to grey, we won't go back
an anti yingyang at its best

(their first kiss by the riverside
felt so good she nearly cried
their last kiss by the frozen lake
oh, how their love was a mistake)

he gave her roses, gave her kisses
these are all things that she misses
hands are aching, heart is breaking

he says to her "please take me back"
she says she isn't up for that
leave me alone, leave me alone

"i'm a busy guy
i'm not your dad
you're so dependent, full of crap
i'm not your safety net, my dear"
("i'm not your safety net, my dear")

"you're just no good
i'm not your friend
i don't do second best, the end
but if you need a date, i'm here"

oh, how was i supposed to know?
i should have ditched you long ago
your hands were clawing at my chest
my world was white your world was black
we mixed to grey we cant go back
an anti yingyang at its best

your world is white, my world is black
we'll fade to grey, we won't go back
an anti yingyang at its best
an anti yingyang at its best

(like a fairytale, like a fairytale)
(we fit perfectly, we fit perfectly)
