lyrics

So I guess I’ll take the low road then, how nice
So paint me as the villain and tell your folks I was the anti-christ

But if a thousand words is worth a picture, picture this
You flew from your nest and reached for the liquor, like licorice
and I’m not trying to settle any score
But this isn’t high school anymore
You lit the wick at both ends and you just lit up my love letters like cigarettes

So I guess you’re on moral high ground that’s so rich baby doll
Just cut your hair shorter, spend every little quarter on weed, I”ll never call
I guess every breakup is identical, And it’s shame that that’s the truth
And I’m not gonna point fingers, But even if it’s my fault I’m still just gonna blame you
So I guess I’ll take the low road then

If a thousand words is worth a picture, picture this
You flew from your nest and reached for the liquor, licorice
and I’m not trying to settle any score
But this isn’t high school anymore
You lit the wick at both ends and you just lit up my love letters like cigarettes
