Uncomfortable Bed
Forever Lesbians Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
as it used to
and everytime I put them on
there's a pebble in my shoe
and I know it's completely unrelated
but the blames gonna fall on you
I wanna go back to that place where our love first grew and burn it to the ground
Your crying is an all to familiar sound
I thought it was great that great big thing that me and you found
Now all your friends are telling me to stop hanging around
and al I can do is look at pictures of your night out on the town
Since I left I haven't seen any of you with a frown
Meanwhile I could be in a desert and still feel like I'm gonna drown
I try to make you so ugly in my head
But that's so much worse than being dead
So I'll just suffer through this uncomfortable bed
and try not to think of those silly things you said
