crossed from ivy by nnin

couldn’t be where i said i’d be
couldn’t do what i said i’d do
when you can’t change the verb change the subject
now i guess i’m just a problem

there’s a fault that we need to find
and you’re sure that the only one is mine

if we get our signals crossed sometimes
you could say that it’s a failure of communication
but if you’re gonna make me cry
while you lie and try to put another innocent face on
then we’ve got a situation

what you showing up here for
i think the woman that you’re looking for lives next door
why you coming back to beg me
you’re a dog that’s barking up the wrong tree

couldn’t claim that i screwed up first
when in doubt you had to make things worse
you took a shot that missed me

if we got our signals crossed sometimes
i might have had a reason to investigate them
instead you kept me standing by
while you never tried anything except my patience
that’s a different complication

couldn’t be who you said you’d be
didn’t mean when you said i do
wasn’t right and i left so we’re done now
guess you’re someone else’s problem

if we get our signals crossed sometimes
you could blame it on a failure of communication
but if you’re gonna be that guy
who likes an argument better than an explanation
that’s not a conversation

if we get our signals crossed sometimes
you can say that it’s a failure of communication
but if you’re gonna tell me lies
while you cry and try to put another innocent face on
you’ve got a situation
