Abdomen

I went out for a run on Sunday
Looking for another marathon Monday
I kicked it hard and braced for the incline
I couldn't have predicted the landmine
When I saw you with someone that you shouldn't have been taking to
'Bout how you really don't belong

Well my first thoughts were bleak as I must confess
But I won't be sunken down like a treasure chest
And I thought about all of the times when I tried to be the best for you
Ended up not any better than any of all of the rest who just thought you was cute

I'm all but gone
'Cause like there's anyone on earth that you could meet who wouldn't love you
And you're right to carry on
I've half convinced myself to say I'm happy for you

Well you might as well resign you as a friend of mine
'Cause the last time around I nearly broke myself trying
I got sick of us playing the games that would make our thing so untrue
And I wish I could get to declare myself getting over you
But you might as well remove you from the space I'm in
Yeah, you might as well have punched me in the abdomen

I went home, wrote down a hundred things that made me smile
How I remember you
Old memories of times when I
Was the one you was talking to
'Bout how you really don't belong
