about

The "F-word" I refer to in the intro and chorus is a reference to Cannibal Ox's song of the same name, and if you didn't know that, why aren't you listening to Cannibal Ox???

lyrics

VERSE 1:
The timing was perfect for me, bad for her, plus I'm sure
There were at least a dozen other factors
It's the same old story, y'all,
The same one that's been passed down since time immemorial
She said she never stopped adorin me,
There's just some feelings that she can't explore with me,
At least for the time bein, I'm seein
My doom, losin my angel while at war with my demons,
So, yeah, you mean a lot to me, but right now, you got me
Wishin I could get you out my head with a lobotomy
Late at night, can't fight this old feelin,
Workin on healin my soul, but there's a hole in the ceilin,
And these thoughts of you keep leakin in
I'm trying to understand this, but havin a hard time even believin it
Just when I thought we were closer than ever,
All of a sudden, I guess it's over forever.

CHORUS:
Ya know, it's hard lovin her when she don't love you,
But sometimes it's even harder when she do,
Stuck in that F-word situation, can't kick it,
Can't quit her, can't get rid of this addiction.
[x2]

VERSE 2:
I miss you a lot, I wish we could talk,
Pain in my brain and I wish it would stop,
It's such a shame to maintain as if it is not
Plaguin my every thought, our last kiss in the dark
Maybe I'm missin the mark, but I believe
That everything that you are is just right for me
I just wish this would work out, the sooner the better,
Cuz right now I feel like I could wait forever,
And that ain't no productive way to go,
But the pain is seductive, it takes control,
And leaves me feelin unrehearsed and untrue,
Prepared for the worst, this curse ain't somethin I can undo,
And I guess that makes me strong, but
What good is that when everything's constantly goin wrong?
If you're listenin to this song, I know you know who you are,
And I know you also know I love you.
