Her Words Destroyed My Planet
Motion City Soundtrack Lyrics

Maybe you were right after all,
Perhaps your assumption was correct all along.

Maybe I'm just bad news,
Possibly, I am the cause of disastrous outcomes.

I've been drowning in memories,
Recollections have begun to overwhelm me.

Call it residual blues.
They are what's left of a melancholy mood.

I fell asleep watching Veronica Mars again. (Hey!)
Once again, I dozed off while the show played on in the background.

I still fuss with that tourniquet,
I continue to adjust the tool that constricts blood vessels.

And tried to squeeze in your dreams.
I attempted to become a part of your aspirations.

Slung it on- it's a perfect fit.
The band worked well, it was a good match.

What do you suppose that means?
Do you have any idea what the implications could be?

My parents keep asking when you're planning on coming around.
My guardians constantly inquire about your expected arrival.

If we'd only stayed together,
Had we remained connected,

I might not have fallen apart,
I would not have disintegrated into pieces,

But the words you said destroyed my planet.
Regrettably, your statements shattered my entire world.

I stall before I start.
I hesitate to initiate anything at all.

Got a job at uncommon grounds,
Acquired employment at an extraordinary establishment,

I finally shaved off that beard.
I eventually removed my facial hair.

I sold my Xbox to Jimmy down the street.
I parted with my video gaming console, which Jimmy purchased.

Hell, I even quit smoking weed.
I even ceased my cannabis consumption.

I'm taking an online course- I'm learning to speak Japanese.
I am undertaking online classes to master the Japanese language.

The things that used to mean so much to me,
Priorities that once held high importance for me,

Have gone the way of dinosaurs, hopes and dreams, and everything.
No longer exist, like the extinct ancient creatures, aspirations, and all else.

All I want for you to be is happy or something,
I wish only for your contentment, or something similar.

I guess anything is better than the time you spent hoping I'd get it sorted out.
Perhaps anything is superior to the period you spent expecting me to improve.

I sent you a postcard,
I dispatched a written correspondence to you,

But the post office sent it back,
However, the postal administration returned it,

They said the building's been torn down.
They communicated that the structure has been demolished.

I just miss what I thought we would have.
I yearn for the prospects I previously expected us to share.

It's all my fucking fault!
I acknowledge the entire mishap is entirely my wrongdoing.
