lyrics

Get out the tissues, cause I've got some issues
Forgive & forget but the second one hasn't happened yet
I'm wonderin' still today why I'd never let you get away
Alone and confused I lit the wrong end of her fuse
You're getting your way and there's nothing to say but "that's okay"

I never knew why, but I just had to be a guy
With nothing going through my head as I let the dumb words fly
But it's lucky for me I never got your sympathy
So I'll go away and there's nothing to say but "that's okay"

I'd tell all my friends as if the story never ends
They'll always lend a willing ear but don't say what I want to hear
Where did she go? Say does anybody know
At least they will say that I'm not gay and "that's okay"

That flying around had me sure to hit the ground
A flaming dash up to the crash that shook the world when I came down
But I couldn't see that it was all because of me
I tried to delay my emotions at play... nothing to say

It's almost a year, and the world is pretty clear
Haven't seen you since our fated first and last dance dear
But guess who not you found a chance at love that's new
I'm getting my way as of today, and "that's okay"

So I was wrong and I dragged it out too long
But it's damn far in the past and pretty safe to write a song
So here we go, though I know I've got no right to complain
Yeah, I'm a pig but we need gigs, and "that's okay"
