it's us

I've been thinking about it for a while
Bouncing in between a cry and a smile
In and out of who I was
And who you are and who we could be
I'm not trying to start a fight
Neither one of us is wrong or right
Maybe we just tried too hard
And we're not who we should be
We say things that are not true
Trying to fit each other into
A little box we both outgrew
And it's not me
And it's not you
It's us
I remember crying in a car
I remember holding hands on a flight
Palms sweaty holding on too tight to being happy
From where I'm standing it's not a choice
And I don't need to raise my voice
So don't yell there's no point in shouting
We'll just say things that are not true
Trying to fit each other into
A little box we both outgrew
And it's not me
And it's not you
It's us
Us
Us
Us
Us
And I hate that I don't hate you
And I hate that I don't want to
And I hate that I don't love you
At least not the way I want to
We'll just say things that are not true
Trying to fit each other into
A little box we both outgrew
And it's not me
And it's not you
It's us
