Song Lyrics

Yesterday I made you cry
It didn't even phase me when your tears rolled down
I was so convinced that I was right
That you never even tried to bring me 'round

And these rules are gettin' tangled in my body
These rules, it's gonna hurt when you pull them out

Look at what you made do
I was only tryin' to save the world
That I forgot about askin' you
But look at what you made me say
I'm usin' crosswords on the radio tellin' you to change your ways

Look at what I've become
Thought I was everythin' you dreamed of
But you were dreamin' of gettin' out
And now I can't get my ass off the couch

Nicotine and alcohol
Anythin' to fill the hole 'cause it's all too much
There's nothin' I can talk about
Of course I'm gonna shut you out

I can hardly blame you 'cause you got me stuck, yeah
But these rules are gettin' tangled in my body
These rules, it's gonna hurt when you pull them out

Look at what you made do
I was just about to save the world
That I forgot about askin' you
But look at what you made me say
I'm usin' crosswords on the radio tellin' you to change your ways

And look at what I've become
Thought I was everythin' you dreamed of
But you were dreamin' of gettin' out
And now I can't get my ass off the couch because of you

I made you fly away, made you leave today but you never know
How these rules got tangled in our bodies
These rules, it's gonna hurt when you pull them out

But look at what you made do
I was just about to save the world
That I forgot about askin' you
But look at what you made me say
I'm usin' crosswords on the radio tellin' you to change your ways

And look at what I've become
Thought I was everythin' you dreamed of
But you were dreamin' of gettin' out
And now I can't get my ass off the couch because of you
