You've been around, you've heard her moan You've had the chance to see her lose it And even when she let you win It's almost like she did it just to get hurt 5 minutes late on your second date So she slashes your tires and kicks your sack Get her what she wants, she'll just take it back It's either PMS, or she's been smoking crack I think your girlfriend's crazy, The kind of crazy where you hide the scissors Fuck her and dump her, use her and leave her You'll be better off when she's reaching for the cleaver She saw you with a female friend You can be sure she'll soon be dead She's on your porch and making threats Of wrists and cyanide, and staying by your side Stuck on the phone with every friend she knows Saying come talk her down, I don't think its just the hormones Why did you start it with this wicked bitch? She's either hitting the meth, or just a feminist I think your girlfriend's crazy, The kind of crazy where you hide the scissors Use her and leave her, take what you wanted and run Cause she saved an extra bullet in Daddy's gun We're placing bets on when she'll take your name Cause if she doesn't she'll be taking aim I think your girlfriend's crazy The kind of crazy where you hide the scissors Fuck her and dump her, use her and leave her You'll be better off when she's reaching for the cleaver (x2)

I wish I missed you less, to give my heart a rest And get back to familiar routines I wish I missed you more So when I thought back over us I could justify the means But we were never good together Not to each other, not to ourselves Not worth a goddam So I'll go back to my life, And you go back to whatever you had I wish you loved me more, But I won't hold it against you You only knew me for a time You've heard me say before I could love you less But darling why would I? We could never get it together Not for each other, not for ourselves, Not worth a goddam So I'll go back to my cup of wine And you go back to whatever you had I was over the moon, he was over the top I can't remember exactly why we stopped And I still don't know if it was love or misery I lost But if I find it again, I'll be off like a shot If I found it again, I'd be off like a shot If I find it again, I'll be off like a shot

Nothing in this song to change the tide, it just wants your attention G, Em, C, D, nothing innovative here, just my confessions And I've written it before across the bathroom walls of a little bar you frequent, Recently I had the balls to kiss you on the cheek as you were leaving That was an awesome night My little moon, can't touch you but I know you're there My little moon, call me when the music starts My little moon, I feel you turn the waters in me My little moon, kill the tendrils in my heart You remind me of my last good friend Took me in a great balloon high over the ocean But when night and that balloon began to rapidly descend I believe she did confuse her ballast for her friend And I lost everything But when she called again wanting to take me up Silly me, I rang for helium You remind me of my love for my last good friend I won't do that again My little moon, can't touch you but I know you're there My little moon, call me when the music starts My little moon, I feel you pull the waters in me My little moon, kill the tendrils in my heart

Yesterday you loved my perfume Today I seem to stink I sure know to clear a room Yesterday we left off at swell, Today you say I'm never fun Left eye blinking, that's your tell Tell me technically baby, I've got no right to be angry 'Cause you never agreed to anything, really Never said 'exclusive', you've got documents to prove it So how could I blame you now? And if I wanted your heart, Then I shouldn't have scarred it With the shape of my poisonous teeth As it relates to you, my mouth is a salty sea Mother said it takes two to lie, one to decieve, One to encourage with a state of hostility I've never lost a friend that way I couldn't stand to lose No one ever fought to stay So what if I'm still angry, important thing is I'm vindicated And surely its better to walk on your own than to give an inch of ground So why am I picking away at the weekend Like Monday could cut me loose? As it relates to me, my mouth is a comfortable noose
