For You

Excuse me for a second

While I bang my head against this wall

And I'm starting to suspect

You don't intend to do what you say at all

Forgive your loyal sycophant

For leaving lipstick stains upon your shoes

And I wasted all my favorite melodies (for you)

And watched best friends turn to enemies (for you)

You heard I like the bad girls baby

Maybe that's true

For everybody else except (for you)

Excuse me miss, but isn't this

Your naked body in my bed?

And how come it always felt like

You were taking something away

When you were giving head?

And it's a promise and a threat to say the F word

So be careful who you screw

And I used up all this latent energy (for you)

Tell me was everything you ever said to me just (for you)

Still thinking there was something in a girl's underwear

That could change me

Like I was still in middle school

Like a fool (for you)

Lonesome poets throwing glitter in their hair

Doing somersaults and exploding in mid-air

But you don't ever notice or you don't care

Or both

And when they take off all their clothes

Were they still not close enough? (For you)
