Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
she's tellin me i'm nothing but a sad boy
I'm not expensive, I'm worthless
And I can't speak any german
whats the point
I'm sick of waiting up all night
just to see if you'd sleep at my side
and you're upset when the drugs start to kick in
Don't you realize that you played me like a game
its a shame
When I stepped off the front stoop of that house
all the alcohol I swallowed came out
there you were, and there was he
Just something I knew I would see
