There is nothing worse than the first week of a break up
First week of a break up is like the first time you have sex
It's akward and borring and we both keep telling each other that we're doing good but it's a lie First week of a break up you're on my mind more than you ever were
So I clean everything in my apartment
Clean my way in to forgetting
But then I find things that I couldn't when we were together
Your shirt...your favorite cd...reasons that I liked you
Until the room reeks of your influence
See I keep wanting to invite you over but love can't live here anymore
She might bring her two children jealousy and neglect
Those two always run around breaking shit and I can't ever seem to clean up the mess
They tend to ruin romantic moments with questions and lies
And I can see they're children when I look in to their eyes
It's you and I
Not sure when we had them but now they live in the next room
Always barging in saying they're having nightmares and can they sleep with us too Jealousy dreams about deceiving so that's what we do
Live out each others nightmares until we're bed full of problems
And solvings not an option
Because solutions are few
Neglect kicks me in bed saying I don't love him like new
And jealousy I know must have told her that
But both of them still look so much like you
And I thought I'd be cool
But I still see you on corners and in stores and windows I'm passing
And conversations and phrases and menues and laughing
And while sitting in traffic
And song after song after song that they play back
I get to where I can't take my day back
But I need to A.S.A.P
I can feel it creeping to the end of my tongue...an apology
But I can't hit that note and key
This is not for me
This is how it's got to be
They say it takes twice as long to forget as it does to get to know
So now I'm sitting in my room saying to myself 6 days down...6 more years to go
This is for all of the men who think women don't burn
That when it comes to heart break it is never our turn
It doesn't matter who or what is to blame
Because in the first week of a break up...alone always feels the same
