about

This song was largely written around my experience being infatuated with a girl who worked as a cashier at a burger restaurant. During this time of my life, I was desperately lonely and extremely attracted to her, but ended up devastated in finding out that in the end, she was taken. Afterward, I was trying my damnedest to move on with my life and explore other potential dating candidates, but for as much as my head knew that that girl wanted NOTHING to do with me, I couldn't seem to get my heart to accept that. Eventually, she treated me like crap and after having been shown her true colors, I finally realized she wasn't worth suffering for.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
Once again, I find myself here
Tears streaming down my face
I thought I had found the exit
To this dark, horrendous place
You were like a new happy song
A new reason for me to stand
But like all other good things
Someone else took it and ran!

[Pre-chorus]
So, what do I do now,
Except wait for you and him to part?
But I don't think that's in the cards

[Chorus]
So, maybe I'll just continue to drift and meander
Until I find...find my way...out of this hell.

[Verse 2]
Admiring you from a distance
While I fall apart on the inside
Don't know how much longer
I can ride this crushing tide
Too long have I been in this mud
It's time to be myself again,
But every time I tell myself that,
I find you in a crowd of women!

[Repeat Pre-chorus and chorus]

[Bridge]
Now, this day
You come to me and say
That you and him are through
The luster faded away
And I give you my arm
In which you rest your head
But then the whole scene melts
And I awake in bed
Forever besotted
And this nonsense is rife
I am cutting off now,
All support for my life.

[Ending]
I just don't think it's in the cards...
