It Sucks
The Unlovables Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I watched you drive off heading to L.A.
I fought back the tears; you know how I hate to cry
Didn't know how much it's be to kiss you goodbye
And in a way, I wish I was you
Heading cross country with a dream to pursue
I guess till now I never knew...
How much it sucks to be the one who's left behind
You're off in the great unknown
When I'm stuck here all alone
Yeah, it sucks to be the one who's left behind
How can I get you off of my mind?
I keep passing by the spot where we kissed the first time
I walk past the places we used to eat
I lay in bed alone in the bed where we used to sleep
And in a way, I wish I was you
Headin towards a place and a life that are new
Till now I never had a clue
Just how much it sucks...
I never wanted to be that girl
It's the last thing I wanted in the whole world
I never wanted to be that
Mopey, sappy, crying, sighing,
Weepy fucking girl who's left behind

I observed you drive away, going to Los Angeles
I fought back the tears; you know how I hate to cry
I repressed my tears; you're mindful of how I detest crying
Didn't know how much it's be to kiss you goodbye
Had no idea how unpleasant it would be to give you a farewell kiss
And in a way, I wish I was you
To a certain extent, I desire to be in your shoes

Traversing the country with an aspiration to follow
I guess till now I never knew...
I suppose I didn't realize until this moment...
How much it sucks to be the one who's left behind
It's exceptionally painful to be the person who was abandoned
You're off in the great unknown
You're venturing into uncharted territory
When I'm stuck here all alone
Meanwhile, I'm trapped here all by myself

Indeed, it's terrible to be the person who was abandoned
How can I get you off of my mind?
How is it possible for me to stop thinking about you?
I keep passing by the spot where we kissed the first time
I constantly encounter the location where we first kissed
I walk past the places we used to eat
I walk by the areas where we used to dine
I lay in bed alone in the bed where we used to sleep
I lay in bed all alone, in the very same bed we used to sleep in together
And in a way, I wish I was you
In some sense, I yearn to be you

Heading towards a new place and a new life

Precisely how agonizing it is...
I never wanted to be that girl
I never aspired to be that woman
It's the last thing I wanted in the whole world
It's the ultimate thing I desired to happen the least in the world
I never wanted to be that
I didn't wish to be that type of person
Mopey, sappy, crying, sighing, Weepy fucking girl who's left behind
A melancholy, overly sentimental, weeping, sighing, miserable woman who was abandoned
