The Jerk

I tried to make it on my own
But it didn't work
I tried to be with you alone
But it didn't work
I caught the jerk
Sad to see
I love you a lot but please don't move from me
I did the jerk
I'm not well
Spent a year together, I'm sure you could tell
Oh, no
A good one's hard to find, I know
LA is the worst
You set the bar extra low
So I come in first
And you know me
And how I do
Fire in my head but still I will make do
Oh, it's a shame
Ugly mess
Lovely looking thing, but still I won't invest
Oh, love, don't leave me
Don't you need me?
So free in the sea of grey
Give it away?
Gave it away
Don't leave me
Make it easy
Wish one is the one to blame
Show me the way
No, no
So now you're with someone I know
So I think I'll stay
But it's only practical
That you learn to play
You caught the jerk
That makes two
Two of them together and we're still not through
Oh, it's a laugh
Up and down
Every time we're happy just comes back around
Oh, love, don't leave me
Don't you need me?
So free in the sea of grey
Give it away?
Gave it away
Don't leave me
Make it easy
Wish one is the one to blame
Show me the way
No, no
