lyrics

It’s been a couple months now
and I’m starting to get impatient
the girl who left me behind
well she didn’t believe in waiting

So loneliness is okay
just as long as it's in spurts
I don’t need to find love
I'll just run with whatever works
but lately it seems...

That I’m never getting laid again
women just won't have it
is it something about my personality
something that gets the best of me?
Do I never say the right things?
or is it that all the songs I sing
aren’t about you?
They'll never be about you

I tried to be a nice guy
but you know what they say
the more that I give to you
the more you take away

But I’m not trying to be bitter
I'm just doing what I can
I had a few spare minutes
To melodicize this rant

I know what you're doing
I know all the lines
you don’t want to touch me
because I never was your type
well we both know that’s a lie

Does it even matter
that all the girls just walk away?
I'm always the best friend
a cycle that never ends
I just want someone to hold onto
someone to spoil
before these heart strings
are unable to uncoil
