Story Behind The Song

A girl I was seeing cheated on me. This is how I felt afterwards.

Song Description

This is what happens when you break up with someone whom you distrust.

Lyrics

Wish I was a fly on your wall
So I could hear what you say about me now that I'm gone
Your heart is a wasteland
Dried out by all the small defeats the day demands
If I seem to be a little out of breath
It's from saying sorry to you, baby, over and over again
Hurts bad like your first cigarette
But the one I'm lighting wont be enough to forget what you said
How you're pulling me up and I;m holding you down
And I made the same mistakes to keep you around
Wish I had the words to say
To make this seem alright or to make it go away
At least keep from burning my brain
I felt like an actor to keep putting on the play
And the distance was to hard for my arms to hold
I felt like a boy in love with his favorite centerfold
And it just keeps getting worse with each page I pour out
Mountains of hope reduced to pits of doubt
And it's pushing me up
And I'm fooling the crowd
And sell the same mistakes, singing them out loud
And now that I'm alone with same song to pass the time
A couple busted up chords and a couple broken-down rhymes
And it's chatting you up and it's bringing me down
And my memory makes mistakes to keep you around
