What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Horrifying as it was for me to see your face today
2
I guess I knew that it would happen at some point
3
And I dreaded it because I knew that you would be so kind
4
You're good at that, you've got it right down to a science
5
So you observe the strict rules laid out in the books of etiquette
6
and tell me you hope I enjoy my stay
7
And I feel numb, and I can't believe that I was stupid enough to leave my bed today
8
If I'm so smart, then why is this happening?
9
You know, I hate this fucking town
10
You cannot even leave your fucking house
11
without running into someone who no longer cares about you;
12
somebody whom you desperately want to see
13
but you know it's only going to cause more grief
14
'cause there is nothing left to say
15
and he can't hear you anyway
16
It's so confusing 'cause I really want to hate you
17
but my intellect reminds me that that doesn't make no sense
18
And I wanted to be your friend but I couldn't pull it off in the end
19
and I'm disappointed with myself because I thought I could
20
But then again you always made it clear that you do not care either way
21
which begs the question, "How can I still claim to love you?"
22
You told me time and time again that you don't lose - you always win
23
and that to make an effort would just be beneath you
24
You know, I hate this fucking town
25
You cannot even leave your fucking house
26
without running into someone who no longer cares about you;
27
somebody whom you desperately want to see
28
but you know it's only going to cause more grief
29
'cause there is nothing left to say
30
and he can't hear you anyway
31
Now I'm packing my bags again
32
and you are not inside of them
