Lyrics
There's a lot of great love songs
And this isn't one of em
Another one to add to the list
I asked her "What now?"
She said "Sing a song about it asshole"
So baby here it is
There's a lot of great love songs
And this isn't one of em
Another one to add to the list
I asked her "What now?"
She said "Sing a song about it asshole"
So baby here it is
Empty out the trashcan
Make the last stand
Towards avoiding disappointment as we wave hands
Well may you see me break this time
But unfake this smile till I can shake this smile
Disguised as a man
Advised by his pride to deny the reminders that he ran
Cover up the dirty deeds, and wash the dirty sheets
Write another sad love song the world doesn't need
What's the point of picking scabs if it doesn't bleed?
Where's the point of no return if it doesn't leave?
Whats the point of even trying if it wasn't me?
Never was, now I'm telling her I'm "wasn't free"
Typical response I know,
Once the other side of the bed goes cold
When someone else might be sleeping in that bed you called yours
"Just wait till I see that motherfucker, bet I won't!"
But you don't got the right to, so Sha,
Hook me up a beat that I can write to,
Jot a few things that I would like to say,
But I can't, so I wait for the chance that tomorrow be better than today
Mister too proud, not knowing what to do now
The love he thought he knew now
Was going down the sink
Trying to cool down
Feeling like a fool now
The situations too foul to fix
So he takes another drink
She was so pretty, and I really loved her.
Can you dig that? I had to show her where I was at.
There's a lot of great love songs
And this isn't one of em
Another one to add to the list
I asked her "What now?"
She said "Sing a song about it asshole"
So baby here it is
There's a lot of great love songs
And this isn't one of em
Another one to add to the list
I asked her "What now?"
She said "Sing a song about it asshole"
So baby here it is
I never thought love could be this real
Always thought that motherfucker would be easy to kill
If it bit the hand that fed it,
But damn it if I let it
Turn the tables now I'm begging to receive my fill see,
I used to think that I was impervious to a certain kiss
Certain that I was working it perfectly, but a certain miss
Turned to be the perfect mercenary,
That could hurt the very
Person I was certain wasn't burnable
But sure enough everything
Did go wrong
But hold on, shit
Lets back track to the last act of the play
Like, the drama that you talking
Is a product of this problem
I reacted like its all gon be okay
So I walk the other way
She proceeded to follow
I said "ill see you tomorrow"
She was weeping and pleading
Making me queasy and hallow
Not easily we seemingly relieving
Feelings of sorrow
So I teemed it with my demons
As we drink from a bottle
Trying to condense my grief
Its all enough to keep from crawling up my head when I think
Got me calling up my boys like
All a y'all, im in need, of a couch right now
Cause my house right now is full of remnants of she
But whenever she called
I pretended I was all calm and collected
Offensive mister resolved but
She would tell me she
"Missed me more than anything"
I would bite my lip from saying..
Nothing
There's a lot of great love songs
And this isn't one of em
Another one to add to the list
I asked her "What now?"
She said "Sing a song about it asshole"
So baby here it is
There's a lot of great love songs
And this isn't one of em
Another one to add to the list
I asked her "What now?"
She said "Sing a song about it asshole"
So baby here it is
