This Might Affect You

They're all so sorry

It's all so sad

Her mom's friend died last year so she understands

They'll all support you

They'll help you through

Just as long as it's in ways that they all approve

They'll say just call me

So you hunt them down

And she'll tell you she's just so overwhelmed right now

I see him dying

Every time I close my eyes

Oh but you do what you have to do

Sorry if it affects you

Sorry if it affects you

They want silver linings

"At least you said goodbye"

Yeah there's nothing quite like grieving while he's still alive

It's part time compassion

They all get to choose

To ignore it over brunch and booze

God forbid it affect you

God forbid it affect you

And I'm really fucking angry now at every shitty friend

At every time I wasted days on things I knew that I would regret

At every father and daughter dance on every perfect wedding day

At everyone who tells me that they don't know what to say

And I'm really fucking angry that it happened just to him

When there's a ton of awful people here, man, and they all get to live

Oh but tell me one more time how much you really hate your job

Tell me what your therapist said this time about your shitty mom

And I'm really fucking angry that you think that it's the same

You say, "I know how you feel" so I'll say, "Honey you're so brave"

You ask me how I am today, man, and that's all you need to do

Just for once stop thinking about how it affects you
