So here we are again, and nothing’s really changed,
Except the same old grey is bleeding into bleakness,
And it’s an oh-so-slightly different pain.

When you say "i think we’re better off as friends",
I know you're right but i don’t feel like i'm alright:
Won’t this circle ever end?

[CHORUS]
‘Cause i know all your careless mistakes,
I know that i can’t take it, and i know that we won’t make it.
I know we’ll have to wake up to this soon,
But i know that i can’t take it, and i know that we won’t make it through.

[VERSE]
4 miles in, it’s true that i’m still me and you’re still you,
Still not cowboys, only painted clowns, and rewrite yesterday
If you will, but we’re still just better off, not me and you.

As the nostalgia fades, i wish i could be anyone else in the world,
Just so we’d never, i could dream we’d never, come undone,
And we could curl up together like i’m another girl.

[BRIDGE]
Sit here and i’m just so aware, of how i’m all to blame, no matter what i try to claim.
And can you hear that i’m so scared of the grey, while it shows everything that i just couldn’t say.

[CHORUS]

sometimes you are the windshield...and sometimes you are the bug. that's just the way the cookie crumbles, so go take a long walk off a short plank.

I'm fairly bad at critiquing lyrics, but I'll give it a shot. :)

Well, I liked the first line; it was great and really drew me in. The rest of it was pretty good - actually, it was very good. Very sweet and with a certain amount of pain wrapped up inside it, but this isn't emo or angsty at all, which is a definite plus. It tells it straight, doesn't whine. I like that.

There were some mistakes with punctuation and grammar and whatnot, so I'd suggest reading it over and seeing if you can spot the mistakes. I can give a read and post the corrections if you'd like. :D

Well, I'm off, but again, good job.

Peace, love, chocolate,

i've edited it very slightly, but i am actually terrible at spotting mistakes in my own work, so if you do want to post any other suggested corrections, that would be great :D

(Great line, that. ^)

Hopefully I didn't miss anything, and like I said, there were only small corrections (unless I didn't say... then I will have to die of shame). This was really great, so keep up the good work!
