lyrics

After the manipulation
After being told what I feel is wrong
It turns out that I’m angry
And I want to get back at you

With a rebound (rebound)
I’m gonna get you out of my head (get you out)
I’m gonna find somebody and use them
To make myself feel better

Now I know that I hurt you
But you played the victim too easily
Pain isn’t a license
To do what you please

So I’m going to rebound (rebound)
You’re going to feel my pain (feel my pain)
I don’t care that you’re sorry
You’ve only got yourself to blame

Now I’m not sure how I feel about
The fact that you’ve probably changed who I am
So I’m trying to go back to being the person
Who I was before we began

And I’m going to rebound (rebound)
I won’t let you see me this way (see me this way)
Won’t give you the consolation
Of knowing that I’m not ok

Now it’s sad to think that
I have trouble seeing the good that was there
It’s sad to think that
I’d be better off if I didn’t care

And I’m going to rebound (rebound)
I’ll be fine, yeah I’ll make it through (I’m gonna make it)
Just not before I
Make you feel worse than you already do

And I’ll rebound from you

Time to clean up (time to clean up)
The mess that’s been made (the mess that you made)
Hopefully I can be better for it
And learn what I can (I’m learning)

But really there’s no cleaning up (there’s no cleaning up)
Just giving up and moving on (I’m moving on)
Even though it’s technically done
The mess is not gone (watch this!)

It’s still there
And I’m working on packing it up and putting it away, so it’ll be like a box of possessions in the attic –
You don’t really think about it, but it’s there all the same.
And maybe one day, when I’m looking around for something else,
I’ll find it and I’ll realize that I don’t need these thoughts and feelings anymore
And maybe I should get rid of them and make room for some new ones.
But now is not that time.
So until then, I’m just gonna pack it up and deal with it later...
If at all.
