Your build has changed You've grown into your skin And I can't look at your hands Without knowing that I used to know them You used to have clouds painted on your ceiling Is it selfish for me to be glad she never go to see them? Do you still play James Taylor? Does she hate it like I know she does? 'Cause sometimes it seems I know her better than I know myself So I did not think She'd take you if it's what she wanted I didn't know my best friend Could break my heart but, she is And she's giving you What I couldn't Swimming at night in the summertime Should feel alright But I'm counting stars so I don't realize you're touching him at dark Maybe I'm always bitter but being whole hasn't been sweet I'm sorry I needed my best friend to survive the Carolina heat It isn't that you took her from me It's that you took my heart and never cared about me And now she's taking you without caring Yes, Tess, yes, Tess, I'm actually hurting I've been through this before with him I guess I thought you'd be different Remember those times I'd sit in his driveway and cry While he was upstairs with another girl? When he moved out of that house I'd sit in that driveway and think about other mistakes I let him make And all this breaking I can take He made me think I needed my innocence for him to want me I wish I never let him have me There is one thing I need to know Is my best friend a good substitute for the feeling I taught you?
