By the Way

Today I came here
To pick up my past
That I left in your room
Sorry to keep you there
You left a siringe on my bag
By the way, I hope you're alright

Each time we split I say,
"This time it's different
This time's for sure"
And when someone new comes along
I feel it's legit
That it's gonna be alright

I hate that we share friends
And they leave us alone
'Cause they're never sure
About our stance this time
All I wanted was the simple things
But now I'm alright

'Cause we've been here for a while
It's time we grow up
And finally get it through our
Words, our fists, our drugs, our heads
That it's never gonne be
And all we want is to feel alright

To get that kinda feeling
Is to just stay away
Yeah, my new man's waiting in the car
And I don't want to explain who you are
I just came by today
To make sure you're alright
