"dirty dishes" september 16, 2023
refrain
i'm sorry,
but i had to go.
you know me,
i'm better alone.
i'm hiding,
nowhere is home.
i'm dying.
i'm not better alone.
verse 1
i don't think that i deserve you.
all i ever did was hurt you.
and you know you're not the first who
had to deal with my skewed virtues.
fallin' in my feelin's,
and i'm hurtin' when i feel it.
say i'm special, don't believe it.
i should smile, you've never seen it.
chorus
life is short,
and i'm sorry that i've wasted
your time, i got impatient,
took me too long to face it.
i was yours,
but i think i got a little bored.
you became something i ignored,
forgot what i had started for.
refrain
i'm sorry,
but i had to go.
you know me,
i'm better alone.
i'm hiding,
nowhere is home.
i'm dying.
i'm not better alone.
verse 2
i guess some things are better dead,
some messages left unread.
i guess some thoughts left unsaid,
some demons under the bed.
i'm sorry that i locked you up.
i know that i'm the worst of us.
no, i would never be enough,
'cause everything is said and done.
chorus
life is short,
and i'm sorry that i've wasted
your time, i got impatient,
took me too long to face it.
i was yours,
but i think i got a little bored.
you became something i ignored,
forgot what i had started for.
bridge
yeah, i was awfully mean,
i guess it's time to face the fact.
"It's not you, baby, it's me,"
i thought i was above that.
i'm still holding on to things,
things that you say are the past.
clinging onto memories,
hoping i can make them last.
i was really horrifying,
i messed up, i hid, i lied,
i promised, i never tried,
but you saw through my disguise.
now that everything has ended,
cleaned the dishes in the kitchen
sink, tell me, would you please listen
if i told you i regret this?
i regret this.
chorus
life is short,
and i'm sorry that i've wasted
your time, i got impatient,
took me too long to face it.
i was yours,
but i think i got a little bored.
you became something i ignored.
forgot what i had started for.
-yes parts of this song have been in other songs
- king of giving songs titles that don't show up in the chorus
