clenching my jaw tighter
i can only picture you and me;
can't release the tension
to a somewhat bearable degree.
if i were in my shoes,
i would go on a murder spree;
but, since i can't,
i guess i'll stew here in my own debris:
but you're not the love i cut my teeth on,
and i'm not so sad to hear that you're gone;
some nights, i wonder if it was wrong
to sit back and let this go for so long?
loafing all around the house
and barely eating any food,
if i were the internet
you would call this a "real big mood."
i wish you weren't the one
i had initially pursued,
but, since you are,
i guess i'll lay here feeling pretty screwed:
'cause you're not the love i cut my teeth on,
and i'm not so sad to hear that you're gone;
some nights, i wonder if it was wrong
to sit back and let this go for so long?
...i promised nothing...
you're not the love i cut my teeth on,
and i'm not so sad to hear that you're gone;
some nights, i wonder if it was wrong
to sit back and let this go for so long?
yeah, you're not the love i cut my teeth on.
