fatal interpretation

i never thought i'd be explaining
something so simple and small
to someone that i thought would need no explanations
for anything at all.
i thought you knew the way i was;
i thought you knew what i would do-
but i guess, due to my fascination
i must have really misjudged you.
tell me why
you're suddenly "just another guy."

i guess that you can't understand
so much of what i say,
and it's killing me that we have to start over
every other day;
cause these misunderstandings and harsh reprimandings
weaken all our ties,
and i'm starting to wonder if we won't go under
in spite of all our tries.
this is the unfortunate creation
of your fatal interpretation.

i've had to do this one-too-many times,
and i know you feel it too.
we shouldn't have to work so hard
and we shouldn't have to prove
every single thing we say.
when did we lose our chemistry?
when did you walk away from trust,
and start to shake your head at me?
how did i
let you pass me by?
