lyrics

I was...
up late night watching ‘Coachella’
On ustream, thought my night would go better
‘til I got a skype chat that was no pleasure
From an ex-girlfriend that I so treasured
She’s at ‘Coachella’, she’s such a go-getter
Been a few weeks since we past spoke and...
She’s telling me how she got to meet Frank Ocean
And how his set had her mad open
So I’m waiting for this ‘Radiohead’ performance
And I’m asking her questions that’s in accordance
To the present conversation, I asked who accompanied thee
‘cause all the while, she kept saying ‘we’
She said it was the dude that she dealt with before we started
& suddenly I’m brokenhearted
Thank god that she couldn’t see the pain show
In my eyes as I’m hearing these songs from ‘In Rainbows’
I didn’t know how to react
I’m just taken aback by the fact that she’d taken him back
She said that he treated her bad
Guess love conquered all, I’m a leave it that
And as “Paranoid Android” played
I’m fighting these tears streaming down my face
Another lost love beating down my faith
Another love lost, fleeing out my space
‘cause a couple weeks prior
I was falling for this one chick, what I always wanted
Beautiful, supportive and we talked all the time
But the girl wasn’t mine so we had to draw the line
And with everyday that I’m growing old
To the idea of the love, I am growing cold!
‘cause I’ve given so much of my best
I wonder if there’s anything left

(Chorus)
See my heart’s looking like shattered glass
‘cause it’s broken into so many pieces....
I can’t put it back together
only God can make it better, yeah...
(2x)

Lately I’m so done, I just wanna go dumb
And ‘smash’ every chick I come across and go numb
Losing’ myself within somebody’s skin
Abusing my health within some shoddy sin
I figure having orgasm after orgasm
With my raw talents, life would be more balanced
Forget loving hard, I’m being more callous
Drown my sorrows in this rubber from this torn package
Kick emotional attachment to the curb
Thoughts of a love worth having is absurd
That’s a fantasy world
Crazy and stupid for love, this ‘Ryan Gosling’ doesn’t get the girl
Rather be a player than a serial monogamist
Who’s finishing last with the heartbreak on top of it
But I’m afraid after getting laid for the sixth time in a week
I will see “this is not me"
See I can’t really blame
Every ex that ever came for my self inflicted pain
Though some clearly violated Jason
Certain situations were due to my impatience
Looking back and it’s clear what happened
Less jumping the gun, more prayer and fasting
More asking God “Is this who you got for me"
‘cause anything else is not for me

(Chorus)
