about

A bittersweet, funny little song about love & partying as a distraction.

lyrics

I don’t mind being alone,
that’s not why I’m blue.
I’m just sick of kisses so intoxicated,
that I can’t even taste you.
It’s so easy to be brave,
when I’m dressed to kill
But this overdose of love is stuck in my throat
like a bitter pill.

I learned some valid lessons, about sleeping around
and here’s what I’ve found:
I can’t forget the life we had by
banging every handsome guy in town
So I’m staying in, I’m coming down.

Let’s pretend that we’re just friends and that I never wanted you from the start
I acted like it meant nothing and that I didn’t hold you in my heart
and I don’t want to shower ‘cause I can still smell you on my skin
All my best lines are on you, oh look at the state I’ve gotten myself in.

I don’t mind being alone,
that’s not why I’m blue.
