Residue

Do you need a lending hand?
Oh, I will give you it
Life is so easy to me
So I've got lots to give

"Are you serious?" and "Oh my God, I'm sorry"
My go-to response for your bloody boring stories

And please, tell me how I don't deserve this at all
It's obvious that you work so much harder than me
And I am oh so fine with always being first to call
'Cause I forgive and I forget
And I am fine

I cry in bed each night
But I'm all right with being nice
Always the optimist
Who thinks that you deserve the best
And I build up all of the residue
Of everything that makes me blue
But I keep it checked in place
Why am I always saving face?

When you say you've missed me, I can't help but wonder
Did you miss me or did you not feel the need
To take a minute of your time and respond?
Well, I can bet that you never think of me

'Cause I cry in bed each night
But I'm all right with being nice
Always the optimist
Who thinks that you deserve the best
And I build up all of the residue
Of everything that makes me blue
But I keep it checked in place
Why am I always saving face?

'Cause I'd give up, I'd give up everything
To make you, oh, make you love me
Like I love, like I love you

'Cause I'd give up, I'd give up everything
To make you, oh, make you need me
Like I need, like I need you

I cry in bed each night
But I'm all right with being nice
Always the optimist
Who thinks that you deserve the best
And I build up all of the residue
Of everything that makes me blue
But I keep it checked in place
Why am I always saving face?

'Cause I'd give up, I'd give up everything
To make you, oh, make you love me
Like I love, like I love you, oh

'Cause I'd give up, I'd give up everything
To make you, oh, make you need me
Like I need, like I need you
