about

There's no hard feelings on my end. I just needed to write this to stay sane at the time

lyrics

Stop me if you've heard this one but I hate your fucking guts
I offered you a shoulder you just used it as a crutch
I think too much in metaphors I'm always talking way too much
You can slap me in the face my love I could use a woman's touch
You can't control me now so fuck those ultimatums
The only time I'd break a rule is right before you'd make one
The list just grew, add something new, we both know it don't apply to you
You're the queen yeah you're immune. You gotta stab me with that point of view

(Chorus):
You cried wolf I sharpened my teeth. You cried it again and it scared off your sheep.
You cried and you cried til the wolf ran away but you cried even more because you wanted to stay
One little pig in a god damn mansion, only comes out if I start romancing
I ran out of ways to make you feel flattered, still need me but I don't really matter

I'm the flavor of the day, then throw me in the freezer
Broke my fuckin heart now I don't have the heart to leave ya
I'm a safety net cause I'm your best bet, wanna cut me. You're not ready yet
You'd dive right in but you've gotta check just how damn deep that big blue gets

Chorus

Well I suppose you played your cards right and you've almost won the game
Your were calm cool and collected oh you kept those nerves contained
My counsel cackled carelessly cause I can't control the course
Cornered covered in camouflage, I count down to my day in court
But the jury just hest don't judge him yet. We can keep this freak show goin
Now emit your endless arrogance I'll apologize for emotion.
You fool you fiend you fuckin fraud it was too good to be true
So stubborn I spilled my selfish sins so I can still relate to you
Well it sucks to suck she said and sighed and she slipped outside my cell
Indifference doth drummed up the devil you've brought about my hell
I'll push and pull impatiently paranoia does pack a punch
Here we go the hero's told though he hangs on just a hunch
Good grief Charlie Brown you clown, you've gone and goofed this time
There's a lot you missed in the scenes you've skipped and you really can't rewind
I'm a rotten man I'm a wicked soul, you wanted gold all I had was coal
You burned its worth you've got some nerve sit back get fat off your just deserts
But I'm fed up this bird is stuffed, flipped you cause I've had enough
Hit the road heartbreak or bust, all's fair in war but all's fucked in love
