In My Head

Could it have been painless?
Is a question I think about all the time (yeah)
Still I don't know what I was thinking, no
When I let you into my life, oh

I know it wasn't worth it, but I did it anyway
I couldn't say the words to your face
So I wrote 'em down instead
I wanna remember it as it was
And forget about what it's been, yeah
And keep that memory inside of my head

I wanna leave it alone but I don't know if I can (yeah, I wanna leave it alone, but)
If only you had never done wrong, you could always be right in my head
I wanna leave it alone, I don't know if I can (yeah, I wanna leave it alone, but)
If only I was where you belong, you could always stay right in my head

And I can't help but reminisce
Ignoring all the things you did wrong
Building you a door in my wall
Can we just go back to when you were the one
That fell for me, wanted me
Are you still that one?

I know it wasn't worth it, but I did it anyway
I couldn't say the words to your face
So I wrote 'em down instead
I wanna remember it as it was
And forget about what it's been
Yeah, yeah
And keep that memory inside of my head

I wanna leave it alone, but I don't know if I can (yeah, I wanna leave it alone, but)
If only you had never done wrong, you could always be right in my head
I wanna leave it alone, I don't know if I can (yeah, I wanna leave it alone, but)
If only I was where you belong, you could always stay right in my head

It's out of my control, no, I can't change you
If only you knew how hard it's been for me to shake you
It's out of my control, no, I can't change you (no, I can't change you)
If only you knew how hard it's been for me to shake you (shake you, shake you)

Head, I wanna leave it alone but I don't know if I can (yeah, I wanna leave it alone, but)
If only you had never done wrong, you could always be right in my head
I wanna leave it alone, I don't know if I can, yeah (yeah, I wanna leave it alone, but)
If only I was where you belong, you could always stay right in my head
