Following a similar theme of breakups and romance throughout the album, this song highlights Mark’s despair at his break-up with a girlfriend.
In the band’s live album, The Mark, Tom and Travis Show (The Enema Strikes Back!), Mark jokes that this song is about his genital herpes.
[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
Don't leave me all alone
Just drop me off at home
I'll be fine, it's not the first
Just like last time, but a little worse, and
[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
She said that I'm not the one that she thinks about, and
She said it stopped being fun, I just bring her down
I said, "Don't let your future be destroyed by my past"
