about

The Opposite (2010)
Music and Lyrics by Matt Parris

Sometimes your feelings change, and sometimes everything you wanted was right in front of you the whole time.

lyrics

The bright green light shocks me from my stare
And I don't care if I you think that I am crazy, if you think that I am lazy
I work hard for everything I want
But what I want, no it isn't always clear, I'd give my head to have you here with me

And you can say "Hey, life's not fair"
You can lie and say that you don't care
Sun's up and down and the days pass by
I'm sick of fucking wondering why

I couldn't hold on the way you wanted to
But I can't hide from the way I feel for you
And everything that's going on has made me feel the opposite
I'm sorry that I took so long and tried so hard to run from it
I never have, I never will, I'll do my best to never let you down

The bright red light stops me and I stare
It's 'cause I care that I sometimes get so crazy
You've got me locked in mental mazes
I tried hard to be something you would want
But what you want was way too hard to hear
I'd give my life to lose this fear that you're gone, yeah

And you can say "Hey, life's not fair"
You can lie and say that you don't care
Sun's up and down and the days pass by
I'm sick of fucking wondering why

I couldn't hold on the way you wanted to
But I can't hide from the way I feel for you
And everything that's going on has made me feel the opposite
I'm sorry that I took so long and tried so hard to run from it
I never have, I never will, I'll do my best to never let you down

Regret's a thought I'm so familiar with
But just like you, I can't get rid of it
I'm sorry that I tied a knot that I can't untie
and I'm wondering why

I couldn't hold on the way you wanted to
But I can't hide from the way I feel for you
And everything that's going on has made me feel the opposite
I'm sorry that I took so long and tried so hard to run from it
I never have, I never will, I'll do my best to never let you down
