Before you have a problem

I told you he would say he loves you
But he would brag about him too
Especially when he has a few, oh, oh, yeah

All the things that I ever said
They'd sound like a bunch of nonsense
But that would be what happens next
between him and you, oh, yeah

I thought of myself, deep in my mind
and realised, I was never his kind
Happiness is hard to find

'Cause with him, it's always my fault
so our relationship had to halt
Well, I think you should take a second just to think of your future
Bestie, before you have a problem

Oh, can you, just think of yourself?
You might find someone else
If you say goodbye to him and run far away from his place
say goodbye to him and run far away from his place you'll have no problem
Go on, say goodbye to him and run far away from his place
Bestie, before you have a problem

At first, both of you would be close
Later ego would be with him the most
Problems would come with him back home
So, you can leave him alone, girl

I thought of myself, deep in my mind
and realised, I was never his kind
Happiness is hard to find

'Cause with him, it's always my fault
so our relationship had to halt
Well, I think you should take a second just to think of your future
Bestie, before you have a problem

Oh, can you, just think of yourself?
You might find someone else
If you say goodbye to him and run far away from his place
say goodbye to him and run far away from his place you'll have no problem
Go on, say goodbye to him and run far away from his place
Bestie, before you have a problem

It's not me, it's him
It's not you, it's him
It's not us, it's you, ooh

'Cause with him, it's always my fault
so our relationship had to halt
Well, I think you should take a second just to think of your future
Bestie, before you have a problem

Oh, can you, just think of yourself?
You might find someone else
If you say goodbye to him and run far away from his place
say goodbye to him and run far away from his place you'll have no problem

Ohh
Go on
Go on, say goodbye to him and run far away from his place
Bestie, before you have a problem
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)

“The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." I guess that means we're just products of whoever made us and we don't have much control. The thing is, when people use that phrase, they ignore the most critical part: the falling. Within the logic of that saying, the apple falls every single time. Not falling isn't an option. So, if the apple has to fall, the most important question in my mind is what happens to it upon hitting the ground? Does it touch down with barely a scratch? Or does it smash on impact? Two vastly different fates. When you think about it, who cares about its proximity to the tree or what type of tree spawned it? What really makes all the difference, then, is how we land.”
― Val Emmich, Dear Evan Hansen
