[Verse 1]
I've been looking for new ways to pass the time
Doing what I can to distract my mind
I'm looking for new ways to cope with the fact
Theres nothing I can do to bring you back
I grabbed my army jacket made a dash for the car
Had a laundry basket attached under my arm
I left a letter on the seat of your couch
Better luck with the next one, see you around
Put the key in the ignition, twisted, the car started
Took the gear shift out of park and half hearted
Took my last look at your apartment
Shook the transmission into drive and I darted
Then I took a left out of the parking lot and stopped
Topped off my gas tank that's when the thought came
When I was livin' off of luck and hope
It was you payin' the tabs and buying me smokes
And I didn't have to ask you just did it
Diggin the fact that I was tapped at the minute
We could relax and never feel like it was awkward
To just get lost in the crosswords
Hung up the gas pump then I slumped to the side
Paid the gas clerk then I hopped in my ride
Thinking to myself it shouldn't end this way
Push down on the gas pedal slowly and drove away
[Chorus]
Someday you'll fade away and I'll be somewhere new
I may recall your name, but your face is a shade of gray
And I'll block it away some day

[Verse 2]
It's like I'm living and dying at the same rate
Trying to relate to your views on love and hate
Why did you choose to lose faith
Maybe faiths bluffing maybe it's all the same, nothing means nothing
Maybe I was caught up to much in your bis with your ex love
You shrugged, it is what it is
I was under the impression that you say what you mean
Like what up bees love you like the grass is green
For the umpteenth time turn around your affection
Tell me that it's too long to be corrected
Accept it as another cryptic message
A life lesson that at times a blessing
Then I guess my friends were correct with predictions
That you'd step when your ex showed interest
And there he is again calling your phone
Take it outside leave me sitting here on my own
All the money spent drunk, tipping the bartenders
Last 6 months that I can hardly remember
All the altercations, shouts, and name calling
Guess you're the tramp and I'm the alcoholic
The hard times are easy to recall when
All and all that's all that's not falling
Between you and I, dreams in the sky
I sit back and I ask myself why
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I've been living like the captain of a ship that's crashing
I don't need a damn thing, thanks for asking
You're a whimsical, magical, mystical tragic
Physically attractive fix for my habit
Got you dwelling in my head heavily like a melody
Telling me that theirs nothing left to say except we'll never be
I could never need you the way that you need to be
Used to treat me like gold, now you're just mean to me
The fact that you wasn't coming back
It hit me, felt like a ton of bricks
Left me sickly, now I'm sitting here thinking how could this be
How could she act like she just don't miss me
I've been looking for new ways to pass the time
Doing what I can to distract my mind
I'm looking for new ways to cope with the fact
Theres nothing I can do to bring you back
