Was It Something I Said
Mykey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was it something I said (oh fuck)
Guess it's time for sad boy kiss and tell
You ruined my life but I wish you well
Cause I'da thought that second part, oh well
Yeah quit leaving me voicemails about your pain
Shouldn't have to listen to the shit you say
Was it something I said
That made you anxious yeah
It made you upset
Made you call me back at three a.M.
Just to tell me your defense
Was it something I said
That made you anxious yeah
Made you upset
Made you wanna go and bitch to your friends
Was it something that I said
Lately I fear there's no end in sight
7-Eleven runs after midnight
I know you're never there but you might
Maybe if I try I could sleep it off
I see you when I sleep, so I don't sleep at all
Slowly all my thoughts start singing my favorite songs
Was it something I said
That made you anxious yeah
It made you upset
Made you call me back at three a.M.
Just to tell me your defense
Was it something I said
Made you anxious yeah
It made you upset
Made you wanna go and bitch to your friends
Was it something that I said
