Know Any Better

It’s really easy for me to say
that I didn’t care about you
that I knew all along that you
were lying to me
but that doesn’t mean I feel
that way

so whether or not I feel that way
has to be irrelevant right now
because I’m supposed to be over you
because I’m supposed to not care about you

Well, I know I don’t care about you
that’s not my point
but my anger for the lies you told me
well, that hasn’t gone away
and probably won’t

that’s how I operate

So I suppose I’m supposed
to get over it
or be over it
and think nothing of you

well, that’s what I’ll do then

I don’t know how long it will take
but I’ll do it
and no one will know any better
