"You get the love you expect"
How's that going so far?
Not-you-it's-me breakup texts
Failed pickups in bars
We all got the scars
No matter the past betrayals
How bitter the pill
Your hopeful heart always fails
To just keep it chill
That romantic thrill
That impulse you keep trying to kill
And now you can fixate on
The time you lost, the what went wrong
And facing the brutal truth
If it's not them, it must be you
It sucks to lose
The exes that count you out
Could they be more wrong?
That book you been working on
Is coming along
Though slowed to a crawl
By loneliness and alcohol
As soon as a new love ends
The friends swoop in to condescend
The sympathy is the worst
As if more words could quench that thirst
Could end the curse
So bring me your saddest songs
The tears that you cried
Your stories of lovers gone
And passion denied
Don't keep it inside
But wear it like a badge of pride
And if you got what it takes
Two eyes that cry, a heart that breaks
And jealousy, my old friend
To grab your guts and tear 'em out again
Well, it's an exclusive club
The barely seen, the firmly snubbed
The proud unloved
This is the story of the proud unloved
