Cardigans and Split Ends (Remix)

We could’ve had a son or a daughter by now how did we manage to fuck that up?
Cardigans, split ends, the dead skin on our lips, our history, slipped from my sweaty grip
Got Married Poor so we lived in a morgue, in a basement we struggled to fall asleep
I hope you show up to my funeral cuz you’d have the best stories to tell of me

Was It something I did?
"More like something you said…"
I… can’t remember that night, why the hell did we fight?
"You…called me a phony a fake social advocate, I cried"
Oh yeah that’s right, I’m a funny guy right?
Heard you’re getting married soon, It’s not how your younger self had pictured it
"Heard you think your some rockstar but you’re just a glorified local act"

A wedding’s just a going a way party for all of your friends
Thanks for the dance, thanks for the cash, (We’ll) never see your ass again!

Was it something I did?
"More like someone you did"
How many times have I apologized?
Plus we weren’t even dating then…
"That doesn’t change the fact that was my best friend ho!"
Don’t make me bring up prom 2012 girl!
Heard your getting married soon, he doesn’t know half the shit you listen to
"Heard you think you’re quite the poet, you just recite our past and don’t you know it"

Girl that’s not true, if that were true, got to admit, I’m good at it…
Cardigans and split ends and dead...
"yeah I get it…. Ok you win"
A wedding’s just a means of forgetting who you were in the past
Thanks fore the laughs, thanks for the gasps, never see your ass again

I first met you in the parking lot of rocking roots back in 2010
"who would’ve known back then"
I’d spend every weekend sitting on a couch at your cousins house
"pretending to like the movie 'Rent' for me"
It’s ironic cuz I like that movie now
"It’s ironic cuz you thought it was a cringy musical
Now you’re nothing but a cringy musical yourself"

How do I, get back to jumping on a couch with you blasting from first to last
"How do I get back to songs about promises of how you wouldn’t burn out fast"
How do I get you to apologize for being way to honest that it pushed me away
"How do I get you to apologize for leaving me alone when I needed you most"

I just keep trying love over and over again, just to wish that I had made it work the first time
I just keep trying love over and over again, just to wish that I still had you by my side
