Well, I’m back in that state of mind
Back in that moment where it ain’t safe to be
I reminisce about your love and affection gone by
And how it sits with me
And this bitter taste I’m left with, oh it just won’t escape
But, I guess that’s cool with me
Because now I see more clearly, I can see right through the bullshit
You weren’t the one for me
And now I’m free.
I used to blame myself for all your misgivings
As if it was all on me
I stayed up restless nights
I strummed on my six string and I screamed, “Oh, pity me!”
And a pretty girl like you can find some other foolish guy and play on his sympathy
But it won’t be long until you pull that same old bullshit that you did on me
You’ll never be free.
