Lyrics

Oatmeal

You didn?t have to seal that letter.
You didn?t have to place the stamp and you
Didn?t have to try to make it better.
I was alright once I?d moved, in a thousand ways, away.
You?ll say, ?Things will be so different?.
But I know they?ll stay the same.

You didn?t have to say you were sorry
When you thought you did nothing wrong.
You didn?t have to stand so close. You didn?t have to look so long.
Yeah, I?m sure I?ll cry, but not like I cried every time we were together
I was unknown.

But now a million miles from there I know I will keep on moving.
You say in time I will forget. I know I won?t but I keep on moving.
I?m gonna keep on moving?

You didn?t have to tell me stories of how your mother made you oatmeal.
And all while the sun was pouring down across your bed.
You didn?t have to make believe that you were in love with me
When you were in love with this vision of this vision in your head.

Get up, get on, get on out of here.
In turn, how was I supposed to know?
Get up and get on out of here.
How was I supposed to know?
Was I supposed to wait?
Was I supposed to hope?
Was I supposed to hope?

-When what little sense I made, you threw away.
