Later On

Sorry for leaving you at the bar
I lied and said I forgot something in my car
But the stuff you say when you're coked
Makes me look and feel like a joke

You're a grown man and know what you're doing
Always saying you know me through and
Through all the years I'll finally admit
I'm still a child who throws passive fits

We need to just leave 'cause I just can't take it
Countless nights where I just couldn't fake it
I've got to say this, oh god, I have to
This time I'll lay it all out in front of you

I can't love you anymore and no there's not
Someone else 'cause I know that's what you thought
At first but I've gotta stay righteous
And for the next one in line, I've already learned from us

So he and I will be fine and I'll think back on you
I'll remember the little things I'd do
Just to keep us standing on our jagged edge
And I'd eaten every word you have fed

Me and take it into mind to never fall
For a badfish 'cause their minds are too small
They're easy to catch when you've got so much bait
They'll love you but make you wait and wait and wait 
and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait..
