lyrics
You warned me not to fall in love,
I was never good at numbers - but it finally added up,
The best scenario was breaking even,
You used me or I used you -
Or some combination of the two,
We drank it in so fast that we stopped breathing.
You declared yourself the winner,
I should have known it was a game.
Now you don’t think of me,
And I don’t think of you - it’s all the same.
Company loves misery,
And I guess that we were meant to be
For a small explosive increment of time.
You said I made you smile somehow,
But every fight was biffbangpow -
And the gaslighting was scrambling my mind,
All that summer we were falling,
And we held each other tight,
You let go of me,
I let go of you - but it’s alright.
A Dear John written on a paper towel,
You signed someone else’s name.
“Thanks and fuck you - see you later”
You know I nearly had it framed,
