The Front Bottoms Lyrics

Love how you disagree
I appreciate your disagreement and individuality.

To tell me that I'm wrong
You often point out my flaws and mistakes.

When every bone is healed
Despite my physical recovery, my emotional wounds may still be present.

And every stitch is sewn.
My body may be healed, but my emotional scars may still persist.

I've got some words to share
I have some things on my mind that I need to express.

But she don't like my tone.
However, the person I want to share them with doesn't appreciate the way I communicate.

She won't pick up her phone.
She is ignoring my attempts to communicate.

She's got some medicine.
She is trying to heal herself.

I'm choking on the pills.
Meanwhile, I am struggling and feeling trapped.

She shouldn't feel this way,
I believe she deserves better and should be happier.

A lack of social skills.
But perhaps her struggles with social connections are part of the problem.

He'll take her out tonight.
Another person is stepping in to spend time with her.

She'll have an awesome time.
It seems like she is enjoying herself.

The only thing that's lost,
However, I still feel like I am losing something.

The only thing that's mine.
I am holding onto the belief that she belongs to me in some way.

And I'm gonna get on my knees
I am willing to humble myself and plead for attention.

Would you kick me in the face please?
I am willing to endure physical pain if it will make her notice me.

It'll make whatever I say
I believe that the pain will give my words more impact.

Sound like poetry.
It will elevate my words and make them more beautiful and impactful.

And as the ghost begins to bleed
My inner turmoil is becoming too much to contain.

The words will fall like teeth
My emotions and thoughts will come pouring out.

And whatever we have locked up now is free.
Everything we have been keeping hidden will be released and exposed.

You're talking with your friends
Meanwhile, she is confiding in her friends instead of me.

Secrets they'll never keep
I worry that her friends will not keep her confidence.

They're sitting on your bed
Her friends are physically present with her.

And all you want is sleep
Despite her friends' presence, she may still be feeling alone and tired.

Pretend that this is fake
She may try to ignore her struggles and pretend everything is okay.

It helps to kill the pain
Perhaps this denial brings her some level of comfort or distraction.

All that you want is different
She may have different desires and needs than what she is currently experiencing.

All that you'll get is same
However, the reality may not change despite her inner desires.

There's nothing more to say
I feel like I have said everything I can to try to connect with her.

I think I've said it all
But perhaps I have not effectively conveyed my emotions to her.

I'm sitting on the edge
I am at my breaking point.

I'm waiting for the fall.
I am anticipating a negative outcome or further rejection.

I'll check my messages
I am eagerly awaiting her response.

They'll say you want a fight?
I am expecting a confrontational or negative message.

I'm turning off my phone.
I am deciding to disengage and avoid further pain or conflict.

How high were you last night?
I suspect that drugs or alcohol may be involved in her recent behavior.

And I'm scared I'm gonna die as lonely as I feel right now.
I am afraid that I will continue to feel disconnected and empty, even if things improve.
