lyrics

"what do you have to say that's so important? What can you say?"

Now's not the time to lie to you,
I've done enough of that for the both of us in the last two years
I think it's fair if I came clean
through a song you and your drunk friends could dance to
And I just got off the phone with you
and this bitter taste in my mouth is just my own medicine
that I have been feeding you all this time.
But I'll be bitter regardless of who the next one is.
So I'll admit I was told by some
that I never played this game exactly by the houses rules.
And on top of that, not every love song that I wrote
was completely based around just me and you.
It wasn't the distance it was the people!
But in a few weeks time, you'll be sipping drinks on the beach
with wide eyed high school boys who've been waiting for this day for years.
And you'll justify your intoxication and pot-smoking by
the truth you have been longing to hear from me.
So when you wake up next to your rebound man
I hope hungover guilt kicks into the highest gear.
And after you get dressed and decided that you're parched,
I hope you walk to the sink and pour yourself out
a nice tall glass of mexican water
And miles away (I will still laugh...)
cause I'm still me, and you're still you.
and we can't change who we are inside!
(....i'll still laugh) while you hug the toilet and get everything I seem to deserve.
But I wasn't the one who gave up!
