Our Story
The Judybats Lyrics

This is our story
The story of our relationship

It's a short one but it's a hard harsh read
Our relationship is brief, but it's difficult and painful

Between the lines a little aching need
Despite the difficulties, we both still have some longing for each other

We're a strange arrangement
Our relationship is not typical or traditional

No strings
There are no strong commitments holding us together

And the music we make is serpentine
Our relationship has a sly and winding quality to it

And bittersweet
Our relationship is both pleasurable and painful

In my youth, you know
When I was younger

I loved you like gangbusters and now
I used to love you intensely, but now

I watch you fall
I see you declining or failing

Twisting turning growing small
You're becoming more distorted or troubled

You're a roomful of sorrow
You have a lot of sadness inside you

A spoonful of joy
But there are still some positive moments

Another infidelity, another pin
Another act of unfaithfulness or betrayal

Another golden glitter boy
Another charming but ultimately shallow person

CHORUS
Refrain or repeated section of the song

I want you, I know it's crazy but I
I still have feelings for you, even though I know it's not rational

Really wanna leave you too
At the same time, I also want to move on from our relationship

Boy oh boy you bring me joy
You have brought me happiness at times

And then you mke me blue
But you have also caused me pain and sadness

I love to love you
I have a deep emotional attachment to you

I'm a fool
I know my feelings are not logical, but I can't help them

You're callous and you're cold
You are emotionally distant and uncaring

And oh so cruel
You can also be intentionally hurtful

I'm starting to forget things
I am losing my memories of our time together

Faces, names
I am forgetting the details of people and things we experienced together

Games played, plans laid
I am forgetting the activities and goals we shared

Surely there were promises made
We must have made some commitments to each other

Good love is easy to find but
It's not difficult to find affectionate relationships, but

It's hard to keep
It's challenging to maintain a healthy relationship

And though I hate it when you wake
Even though I don't like interacting with you

I still love to watch you sleep
I still have some affection for you

Remember the early days
Let's recall the beginning of our relationship

When nickes were dimes and a dollar
When we had very little money

Took us everywhere
But we were still able to have fun and go places

I don't think I ever combed my hair
We were carefree and unconcerned with appearance

Is this our story
Is this the tale of our lives together

Is this where the loving starts
Is this the point in our relationship where the affection began

In the stillness
During calm moments

The staring, the hardening of hearts
When we became more distant and closed off emotionally

This is not my place
I don't feel comfortable in this relationship anymore

These are not mythings, it's not my way
I am not satisfied with this situation and it's not the life I want

The pain love brings
The difficulties and suffering we experience in relationships
