Which To Bury, Us Or The Hatchet Lyrics

I think you know what I’m getting at
I find it so upsetting that
The memories that you select
You keep the bad but the good you just forget

And even though I’m angry I can still say
I know my heart will break the day
When you peel out and drive...

    I think you know what I’m getting at
    (I think you know what I'm trying to say)
    I find it so upsetting that
    The memories that you select
    You keep the bad but the good you just forget
    (it upsets me that the things you decide to focus on from our relationship were only the bad things and none of the good)

    And even though I’m angry I can still say
    I know my heart will break the day
    When you peel out and drive away
    I can’t believe this happened
    (although I'm angry I know my heart will be broken when you leave and our relationship is over. I still won't believe all this happened)

    And all this time I never thought
    That all we had would be all for naught
    (I never thought all this effort and time would be for nothing)

    No, I don’t hate you
    Don’t want to fight you
    Know I’ll always love you
    But right now I just don’t like you
    (I don't hate you and I don't want to argue anymore. You will always be in my heart but at this moment I'm upset)
    Cause you took this too far
    (I'm upset because you went too far and hurt me)

    Make your decision and don’t you dare think twice
    (make a decision and don't question it)
    Go with your instincts along with some bad advice
    (you go with your gut feeling along with bad advice)
    This didn’t turn out the way I thought it would at all
    (due to that this didn't turn out how you wanted it)
    You blame me but some of this is still your fault
    (then you blamed me but at least some part of the fall out is your fault)

    I tried to move you, but you just wouldn’t budge
    (I tried to help you in the right direction but you wouldn't listen)
    I tried to hold your hand but you’d rather hold your grudge
    (I tried to be kind and move on but you held on to the past)
    I think you know what I’m getting at
    (I think you see what I'm saying)
    You said goodbye and I just don’t want you regretting that
    (you wanted to end this relationship and I don't want you regretting all you threw away)

    And wisdom always chooses
    These black eyes and these bruises
    Over the heartache that they say
    Never completely goes away
    (if you were wise you'd choose physical pain over a heartbreak because bruises will fade but a lost love will never fully leave your thoughts)

    What happened to us
    I heard that it’s me we should blame
    (I heard that our failed relationship was my fault)
    What happened to us
    (what happened to our relationship?)
    Why didn’t you stop me from turnin out this way
    (why didn't you stop me from turning my back on who I was and what i believed in?)
    And know that I don’t hate you
    (I don't hate you)
    And know that I Don’t want to fight you
    (I don't wanna argue anymore)
    And know I’ll always love you
    (you'll always be in my heart)
    But right now I just don’t…
    (right now I just dont know how to express how I feel)
