Why Did You Mess With Forever

John Mayer · Other Songs - John Mayer

I came by to get my things

Thank you for getting the door

But I don't feel right walking in no more



You think it's cold

I did my crying at home

And I'm numb now,

I'm numb now



Before I'm on my way

I've one more thing to ask,

Was it worth the price you paid

For my never coming back?



Why did you mess with forever?

Ooh...

Such a long time

To be unkind

Why did you mess with forever?



Don't you call me cruel

Cruel is what you're making me do

I stick to my rules

I'm at odds with me now

So stay, go, go ahead and stay



Before I'm on my way

I've one more thing to ask,

Was it worth the price you paid

For my never coming back



Why did you mess with forever?

Ooh...

Such a long time

To be unkind

Why did you mess with forever?



You ask to kiss me once 'goodbye'

But you already did on somebody else's lips

Ooh...



Tell the tiny chemicals

The ones you hold responsible

They lost me

You lost me

Now everything inside me tells me I should run to you

And throw my arms around you

Hold your streaming crying cheek against my own

And tell you nothing's wrong



But a wrong is what you were when you forgot

That we were going on,

We were going on

We were going on



Tell me why did you,

Why did you mess with forever?

Ooh...

What a long time

To be unkind

Why did you mess with forever?



Mmm....yeah
