about

Being heartbroken and being an asshole can make you a toxic person.

While not physically abusive, blaming someone for your feelings because you're an asshole and putting your state on someone that cares about you even though you've hurt them terribly is abusive.

This song is about being hurt and handling it poorly.

lyrics

Verse 1:
What am I supposed to do when you call me up at midnight and tell me that you want to get with my friends
How am I supposed to feel when you can't forgive me for things I did before I came into my sense
I don't know, I don't know

Maybe after 1 or 2 or 3 or 5 or 8 guys you'll see that you are not better than me
And maybe when you ruin all the friendships that we built so that there'd be someone there to protect you, you might be happy
I don't know

Pre Chorus:
I'm not, waiting, while you're, hating me

Chorus:
Why you gotta be, everything I need, then you walk away (x2)

Verse 2:
So there you go and act like dick and scream and shout and fuckin smack me down cuz well you, "don't feel the same"
And here I sit a toilet seat a drama queen up on my thrown and you say that it's me who has changed
I think you wrong, I think we're both wrong

Chorus
