It's funny when you lose a relationship.
All those things you overlooked come back to drive you crazy.
Whatever pardons or annoyances you had with someone,
they just rush back and you want to spend all night screaming it at them but, on the other hand, you say they aren't worth it.
Yeah, well, you aren't worth it, but I'm going to anyway.
The last words won't matter when the whole time you wanted them spilling down someone else's lips.
I'm not stupid, just selectively blind.
It's weird to think you're over something
and then some kind of blow comes back
and, for some reason, it really hits you hard.
It's over, but the fact that you weren't the one they wanted in the first place still stings.
There are sometimes I want to hear you say it's not true.
There are sometimes I want to burn this bridge from both sides with you in the middle.
Sometimes I'm on top of the world,
and the next minute I'm down quicker than her back against your mattress.
But I'm not choking on words you should have eaten.
I've got hands to hold and friends to fall on.
I've got more than you could ever hope for.
Just remember when you're sweating and shaking
and it's cold and hot at the same time
and you're tossing and turning with those bruises and itches
and you can't sleep,
I'm that fever you can't sweat out.
