this is the most upbeat and fun song i’ve written. so much fun to sing.
pretty words can’t mend a broken heart
the veins get tangled and twisted
i told you he’d leave, but you had insisted
that this boy was different
time may heal wounds
but the tissue still scars
shattered and bleeding
this once was your heart
and now i’m
holding your hand again
consoling this friend again
catching her tears again
mixing a drink again
you’re always in love, dear
always depressed, dear
always heart broke, dear
always fucked up, dear
and next month you’ll show up
with tears in your eyes
tell me that you were dumped
and i’ll feign surprise
you met at a bar
and his name was Ryan
you kissed in his car
but now you’re here cryin
then there was aaron
you were so in sync
then you caught him with Karen
now he’s why you drink
and now i’m
holding your hand again
consoling this friend again
catching her tears again
mixing a drink again
you’re always in love, dear
always depressed, dear
always heart broke, dear
always fucked up, dear
you’ve heard every line
it’s not you it’s me
i just need some time
to regain my sanity
i really do love you
so let’s just be friends
cuz i’m not in love with you
so this needs to end
