"They're Just Chemical Burns"

She cares enough to mention

And get worked up about it

Her cheeks are red

And it’s not just from the meds

But she can’t do anything about it

And who says I deserve better?

Who says I deserve anything?

I’ve got issues that go way back

Insecurities and wanting you back

Did I mention my head hurts?

So crack some jokes about awkward sex

“it didn’t come up” haha that’s a good one

And now we’re in your house

And of course, it’s not awkward at all

I’ll make small talk and pretend

I’m not wishing you’d invite me to bed

And pretend I’m not wishing

For more of your kisses

And as we’re leaving your room

And as we’re leaving

We’re attached at the mouth again

It’s these little things you do that don’t last two seconds but speak sentences

It’s these little things that get into my head…

And God I’m such a sucker

I’m such a sucker for your pretty face and willing kiss

She cares enough to say something

And pretend I deserve so much better

But she doesn’t do anything about it

And how do I tell her I want her to do something about it?

But baby come on,

This isn’t primetime t.v.

So let’s think realistically

She won’t take me back

She can’t take me back

Even though she’s got her cheeks all red

And it’s definitely not from the meds

So why should I deserve anything at all anyway?

never

Ever ever ever

Never again

This time I mean it

I’ll show you how much you mean

Never again

Ever ever ever

Never again will I mean it

I’ll never show you how much you mean

But I’m trying to hide my excitement

Because kissed her and my hand brushed her hips

But I can’t contain it

But your little kisses don’t mean anything

They’re brushes on the lips of “just friends”

But these big things get in my head

And make me write songs like this

(“It’s the little things that bring me down”

You told me that once and now

I know what you meant, I know…)
