about

One of my confessional songs about exactly why my relationship with my ex imploded.

lyrics

Get out another box of tissues
I’m putting the “I” back in “issues”
Filled with anxiety and fright
I can’t get it up again tonight

Get out another box of Kleenexes
I’ve been obsessing about your ex’s
Even if they couldn’t keep it in their pants
They could satisfy you in ways I can’t

I’m just being selfish
Wishing that like a shellfish
You’d opened up for the very first time
for the very first time, for the very first time
for the very first, the very first time

Open a pack of moist towelettes
Wipe away the cum and sweat
And that look of doubt and fear
That’s written on your face all too clear

I wanted to be strong
Not worried that I’m doing it wrong
For the very last time, for the very last time
For the very last , the very last time

Get out another box of tissues
I’m putting the “u” back in “issues”
You think I’m just not into you
Because it seems like I never want to screw

My insecurities become
self fulfilling prophecies
It’s been that way since the very first time
the very first time, the very first time
the very first, the very first time
