Bowling For Soup
When I came home my stuff was on the lawn
I thought she was happy
But I was wrong
The note she left it took me be suprise
Said I'd turned into
Some other guy
The things she says that she gave up for me
she says it was a waste of her time
Guess I dont really know
What I was thinking
Would have thought we would float
But we kept sinkin' in
Things were so good
You were in love
With some other guy
He looked just like me
But I make you cry
You know I dont mean to
I'm just an asshole sometimes
I never saw myself as being alone
And maybe that was my problem
Cause now shes gone
And I cant help but think of how things could be
And I hope shes happy
Happy without me
And all the things that she gave up for me
I took for granted time after time
Guess I dont really know
What I was thinking
Would have thought we would float
But we kept sinkin' in
Things were so good
You were in love
With some other guy
He looked just like me
But I make you cry
You know I dont mean to
I'm just an asshole sometimes
And please dont think I'm complaing
I was just happy to have her for a time
And if you see her I'll tell her I said
Hello and that I'm doin just fine
Guess I dont really know
What I was thinking
Would have thought we would float
But we kept sinkin' in
Things were so good (Things were so good)
You were in love (you were in love)
With some other guy (with some other guy)
He looked just like me (he looked just like me)
But I make you cry (but I make you cry)
You know I dont mean to no
you know i dont mean to
I'm just an asshole sometimes (X4)
Guess I'm an asshole sometimes
