Alright, it took me three days to send you this, but

Uh, sorry, I was in a depression

But I'm trying to come out of it now

Every morning I wake up

From a dream of you, holding me

Underwater (is that a dream or a memory?)

Held my breath for a decade

Dyed my hair blue to match my lips

Cool of me to try (pretty cool I'm still alive)

I beat it like a dead horse, I beat it like a drum

Oh, I stayed with you too long

Skipping like a record, but I sang along

To a silly little song

I said I beat it like a dead horse, I beat it like a drum

Oh, I stayed with you too long

Skipping like a record, but I sang along

A shitty never-ending song

Sometimes it's good to be the bigger person

But I'm so small I can't compare

And after all, it's only fair, yeah

I got what I deserved, I was the other woman first

Other others on the line

But I kept trying to make it work

I beat it like a dead horse, I beat it like a drum

Oh, I stayed with you too long

Skipping like a record, but I sang along

To a silly little song

I said I beat it like a dead horse, I beat it like a drum

Oh, I stayed with you too long

Skipping like a record, but I sang along

To your shitty little song

Ya-ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya-ya

Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya

Ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya-ya

Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya

When I said goodbye, I hope you cried

When I said goodbye, I hope you cried

When I said goodbye, I hope you cried

When I said goodbye, I hope you cried

I beat it like a dead horse, I beat it like a drum

Oh, I stayed with you too long

Skipping like a record, but I sang along

To a silly little song

I said I beat it like a dead horse, I beat it like a drum

Oh, I stayed with you too long

Skipping like a record, but I sang along

And now you get another song

Ya-ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya-ya

Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya

Ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya-ya

Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya

(Now you get another song)

Ya-ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya-ya

Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya

Ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya-ya

Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya

(Now you get another song)
