Sucker
D.R.I. Lyrics

Ever had one of those days? Argumentative, no incentive
Have you ever had a day where you just can't seem to accomplish anything? You feel argumentative and lack motivation.

Can't do anything right
No matter how hard you try, it seems like you always mess something up.

I'm trying so hard to analyze and compromise
You are doing your best to understand the situation and come to a mutual agreement.

But there's no solution in sight
Despite your efforts, there doesn't seem to be an answer to the current problem.

Can I live up to your greed? Shopping, buying, spending, lending
You feel pressured to keep up with someone else's excessive spending habits and constantly provide financial support.

I can't give you all you need
You realize that you cannot fulfill all of their demands and expectations.

What we have here is a complicated situation
The issue isn't a simple one, and it will take considerable effort to resolve it.

Are you listening to me?
You are questioning if the other person is truly hearing and understanding your perspective.

You can change your number and your address
You suggest that the other person can try avoiding the situation by cutting off communication and moving to a new location.

Tell your roommates to tell me you left
You propose that they can deceive you by telling others that they're not around.

You can say you went to germany
They could lie and say they're out of the country to avoid the situation.

Or some other foreign country
You suggest various ways they could avoid confronting the issue head-on.

There's so many fish in the sea
There are numerous other options and opportunities out there.

Every time I turn around
Every time you look elsewhere or seek out other relationships.

There's a pretty girl and I fall for her
You find yourself drawn to other women, even while in a committed relationship.

Can't help myself, I guess I'm a sucker
You admit that you have a weakness for the opposite sex and often fall prey to temptation.

There's no way that I can change the pathways
You feel unable to alter your ways or tendencies.

In the dark maze of my mind
Your thoughts and emotions are complicated and difficult to navigate.

I guess I could try, but I'm so lazy
While you understand that change may be necessary, you lack the motivation to do so.

And I just can't find the time
You feel that you're too busy or distracted to work on yourself or your relationships.

That tall girl answered you door, not too happy, forced a smile
You encounter someone at the door who isn't pleased to see you and appears to be hiding their feelings.

Picking her face with a fork
The person's behavior is odd or uncomfortable.

She said that you had gone bungee jumping or something
The person claims that the other is away participating in an extreme sport or other activity.

Somewhere in upstate new york
They claim the person is in a specific location, but you are unsure if it's true.

Gathered the courage to ask when you left, when you'd be back
You finally worked up the nerve to inquire about the other person's whereabouts and plans.

In answering, she was slow
The person seemed hesitant or unsure when giving their response.

Forking her face, she said "left today, back on friday"
Drawing attention to her strange behavior, the person gave a specific time frame for the other person's return.

But she didn't really know
Despite her claims, you are doubtful that the person truly knew the other's travel plans.

Scattered fragments of my crushed hope
Your dreams and expectations have been shattered by recent events.

My cracked, black heart on the floor
You feel completely broken-hearted and devastated.

When it comes time to pick up the pieces
You realize that you must start to rebuild and recover from recent events.

I hope that the jigsaw puzzle's complete
You hope that everything will eventually come together and make sense again.

You can't have your cake and eat it, too
People can't have everything they want without sacrificing something else in return.

You think that? You must be high on glue
You are sarcastically challenging the other person's unrealistic expectations.

I told you before, again and again
You have previously discussed the situation with the other person multiple times.

I'm no different than other men
You don't feel that you're any more prone to temptation or infidelity than other men in relationships.

So my eyes have been known to roam
You admit that you have been unfaithful in the past, but it's not unique to you.

But they always came back to you
Despite your wandering eye, you still remain committed to the other person.

I just want to say that I can't change
You are making it clear that you won't change for someone else's wants or needs.

And I don't need any help from you
You don't feel that you require their assistance or intervention in changing your behavior.

Dreamy days, drunken nights
Recalling past memories of romantic or wild moments in the relationship.

Acid words, nasty fights
The relationship has also had dark and unpleasant moments of conflict and verbal abuse.

Cheating hear, roaming eye
The issue of infidelity has been a recurring problem.

Lying lips, start to cry
The other person has been dishonest and their true feelings are finally coming to light.

Poison tears, lipstick trace
Their tears are no longer genuine and their attempts to appeal are manipulative or insincere.

I've become your disgrace
You feel that the other person looks down upon you as a failure or disappointment.

Jealous love, aching soul
The relationship has been marked by possessiveness and an emotional toll.

Relationships as a whole
Reflecting on the nature of relationships and how they can fall apart.

Fall apart over time
Acknowledging that relationships can deteriorate and erode due to various factors.

And break down
Understanding that relationships can ultimately fail or collapse.
