Middle of NowhereB. Cooper

I just wanted you to know, I love you
Even though I'm acting like I don't, I'm so confused
Here we are
In the middle of nowhere So I guess it's back to the nonsense
I gave you the silent treatment, it seems like we stopped talking or
I stopped listening cause I was sick of arguing
Now the sea of emotions is all that I am harboring
When we met at 15, it all started then
It's like you understood what goes on in the hearts of men
Well at least mine, you helped me smile
But I started to stray away with the harder winds
Cause it's easier to commit in the fair weather
Pushed you to the background, liked you there better
Went on with my life, new girl, no wife
But I had to try my best to fill all of time with pleasure
Can't measure the things you did for me
Couldn't see it like opening up your eyes in chlorine
But I finally found out who my father was
God above, and I ain't even have to go on Maury

Ok, I know that I've been distant, lately
Because honestly it feels like you hate me
Just another day in my world, so crazy
Even in the light, people seem so shady
And even when I trip you don't let me fall
But why do I resist what is best of all
You said before I walk, that I've gotta crawl
Static in my life, no bounce like a metal ball
But that's ok I keep rollin'
Heart drop, hit the ropes, feelin' like Owen
But I'm still alive, so I recognize
What doesn't kill you is an element of growin'
(Yeah) Round and Round we go
Feels like I've been in this part of town before




We do the same old thing, and expect different outcomes
How dumb, riding in my car thinking how come?
