You said that I should get a clue

Well I did, I did, I did, I did

And it was to rid my heart of you

Well I did, I did, I did, I did

Exactly what you said I should do

I played the sleuth and I found a clue

And I still can't stop thinking about you

That standard procedure

You know, you know, you know me

So fuck with my heart at your leisure

That's how it goes, it's been going lately

Said I was the best simultaneously the worst

And best case scenario, I should be cursed

For the rest of my life, for the rest of my life

Well, I feel like I am cause I will never have you by my side

[Refrain]

So stay warm in that flannel

That I left on your bed

There was no way in hell I could put it on after that

Cause we were both soaking wet

And I apologize if from time to time

This makes you think of me

Just imagine seeing that stupid shirt

Every time you fucking breathe

That's how it feels to be me

(Spoken)

Your heart has been proven to be more of a maze

Than construction season in the Heritage Hill one-ways

For someone who's not from Grand Rapids on their very first days

But me, I paid attention on my late night skates

And when I was driving around in my van and how my best friend,

Who lived here his whole life,

Told me I know the city better than him

He said "Ty, it's like the back of your hand."

I said "Alec, I'd trade it in a heartbeat for the backbone of a man."

I had to change my way home from work cause I couldn't even stand to

Drive by her, and see her on her front lawn, with her bikini on getting a tan

Cause, here's the thing

I don't need Fountain or Union Street

For anything except Martha's Vineyard and the bakery so

I'll just take the back of Michigan Hill down

East, turn around and follow Lion all the way there cause this is what I found

Life, may or may not be about finding true love

But, it's certainly not about begging for it from someone so

I'll keep doing the things that I do

Late nights, fat blunts, pizza pies with my crew

Driving home from whatever bar's half-off after two

While I'm blasting my favorite tunes and

Seeing my favorite local bands at whatever venues

While you keep doing the things that you do, shifting blame, and twisting truth

And making absolutely positively sure that everybody in the room is certain

That the victim just had to be you, well

I'll keep doing the things that I do

And I'll find someone who wants me like I wanted you

So sing along at a show this weekend

Act a fool, get drunk with these friends, that you love

Someone somewhere said all good things end


So what in my mind made me think this time would be different

@ The sweet, kind, beautiful Hispanic that captured my heart last Summer then decided to become a hoe in high school and stab me in the back. You still have my flannel and my sweatshirt but I honestly don't want them back. You really didn't deserve someone like me. I really thought we'd still be together, or at least friends, right now. I admit I think of you from time to time. I mean, who can forget a person like you? 

Also, the lyrics are a little off. I tried to fix them but I don't think I fixed all of them.
