From 'S.T.E.N.D.E.C'

lyrics

I know that hindsight's twenty-twenty
but the beer goggles ought to balance that out
and now I'm struggling to remember why we used to go out
We were a match made in a doss-house:
The princess and the punk;
self-obsessing slut and self-hating runt

You were a tough act to swallow

And even though I couldn't see straight I was pretty sure
that you looked good naked on the bathroom floor
and even though now you probably hate me
and if you don't then you don't even think of me at all

We both loved drinking and Against Me!
so what the hell could go wrong?
A rhetorical question that we answered all summer long
At first we fucked more than we fought and then I felt the ratio shifting
through all the twisting, swirling, sweating, bitching

Even though I tried every other night and, on a good day, in the afternoon
You were a tough act to swallow

And even though I couldn't see straight I was pretty sure
that you looked good naked on the kitchen floor
and even though now you probably hate me
and if you don't then you don't even think of me at all

Hey, Joe, what d'ya think of this bridge part?
"I never really knew you at all at the time and now I'm starting to think that maybe that was a good thing
You never understood me and you never really tried and now I'm starting to think I should be counting my blessings"

I can count on my fingers what you took from me -
my time and my pride and my virginity and my t-shirt and cigarettes and my dignity
and that's when I said I was leaving.
I loved you so much that now I'm ashamed of it but I never loved you in ways that you wanted
you gave me your trust and I took a shit on it and then I said 'well, now we're even'
And I'm sorry for the way that you found out I was gay
but now you know not to take MDMA around guys with secrets and no place to sleep.
