You Were Perfect & I’m Sorry
Mickey Darling
I met her downtown in the slums of Austin
Once we were sober, she said: I'm from Boston
I told her I couldn't give mass-a-two shits
Luckily she likes guys that treat her like
Help me, everyone calls me Mickey
I just want to be your Darling
This fame is fucking empty, you warned me
So listen, I know you're probably with him
And maybe for good reasons
But you don't fucking need him, I warned you
I tried my best to hide it
But now I'm done denying
You were perfect and I'm so sorry
I'm such a dick but you still love me
I still regret letting you leave me
Don't you forget you used to need me
I should probably take my own advice now
And move on with my life now
And stop singing about how you left me
Maybe stop getting your advice from
The guy you get your highs from
If you want my advice, run, real quickly
How can I love someone that can't stand
The thought of loving me back
Why do I think I need that, I know you
Hate me, but one day, babe, you'll thank me
For teaching you how to leave
A piece of shit just like me
I warned you
I tried my best to hide it
But now I'm done denying
You were perfect and I'm so sorry
I'm such a dick but you still love me
I still regret letting you leave me
Don't you forget you used to need me
Yeah I remember when you said
How you wished that I was dead
So I tried to kill myself
Swallowed way too many pills
And, God, the tummy ache was shit
But not enough to kill the kid
Sometimes I wish I didn't live
But I'm so fucking glad I did
I remember what you said
You were wishing I was dead
Now you're wishing me the best
'Cause my song's stuck in your head
I can't believe the things I did
For some narcissistic bitch
I'm so glad that I still exist
Just so that I can rub it in
You were perfect and I'm so sorry
I'm such a dick but you still love me
I still regret letting you leave me
Don't you forget you used to need me
