Hello, how ya doing?
what's it like to ruin all my self esteem?
let me blow off some steam
for five years I've waited, so why
am I jaded to get back at you?
what makes it cool?
when you act like nothing ever happened
I feel like I should feel bad,
but I can't like someone who thought
they're the only one that mattered,
I hope that you're flattered
cause you broke this down,
the best thing that you never had
and it seems like a loss somehow my
heart got lost on the way to my head
and my brain cells are dead, and the
craziness
shows, now I start to go when
the green turns to red and I should be
dead
when you act like nothing ever happened,
I feel like I should feel bad,
but I can't like someone who thought
they're the only one that mattered while
my heart got shattered like romantic roadkill
my heart is all splattered your ego got
fatter and I hope that you're flattered,
cause you broke this down,
you broke this down,
the best thing that you never had
like the toilet seat never got lifted
and I pissed on your confidence when you
weren't around, how can that be?
don't turn this around, you were the one
who drove my ass right to the ground
when you act like nothing ever happened
I feel like I should feel bad, and I can't like
someone who thought they're the only
one that mattered while my heart got
shattered like romantic roadkill my heart
is all splattered your ego got fatter and I
hope that you're flattered
cause you broke this down,
you broke this down,
the best thing, the best thing
the best thing that you never had
you never had...
what's it like to ruin all my self esteem?
let me blow off some steam
for five years I've waited, so why
am I jaded to get back at you?
what makes it cool?
when you act like nothing ever happened
I feel like I should feel bad,
but I can't like someone who thought
they're the only one that mattered,
I hope that you're flattered
cause you broke this down,
the best thing that you never had
and it seems like a loss somehow my
heart got lost on the way to my head
and my brain cells are dead, and the
craziness
shows, now I start to go when
the green turns to red and I should be
dead
when you act like nothing ever happened,
I feel like I should feel bad,
but I can't like someone who thought
they're the only one that mattered while
my heart got shattered like romantic roadkill
my heart is all splattered your ego got
fatter and I hope that you're flattered,
cause you broke this down,
you broke this down,
the best thing that you never had
like the toilet seat never got lifted
and I pissed on your confidence when you
weren't around, how can that be?
don't turn this around, you were the one
who drove my ass right to the ground
when you act like nothing ever happened
I feel like I should feel bad, and I can't like
someone who thought they're the only
one that mattered while my heart got
shattered like romantic roadkill my heart
is all splattered your ego got fatter and I
hope that you're flattered
cause you broke this down,
you broke this down,
the best thing, the best thing
the best thing that you never had
you never had...

this song is so amazing
who on earth wouldn't like to have butch?
he's a sexy sexy man:)
this song just blows my mind
its so intense
just shows how painful rejection can be & i think its about how a guy likes a girl but she totally denies him.
but after he gets more famous she toys with his heart & now he's done putting up with her.
For five years I've waited, so why am I jaded to get back at you?
Butch's sentence structure is sometimes a little screwy, but so is the mind of an artist unhindered by logic. I know this feeling so well. Relationships end with a bang, and five years (or five months) later, silence engulfs the world as you realize who the man across the coffee shop is.
And it seems like a loss, somehow my heart got lost on the way to my head and my brain cells are dead and the craziness shows.
You have half mind to go over and smack him, to scream, to yell, to somehow avenge your emotions. And while you sit in silent plot, he makes his way over and greets you as if you were about to go out on a date. He even hugs you, the nerve in him. The big surprise is when you hug him back, though. It's sick, the way we just melt. You forget every burning word you were about to say. In severe cases, you forget your entire vocabulary. Then you just gawk, in utter mental shock.
Now I start to go when the green turns to red and I should be dead.
And it's sick, afterwards, like an appeal in a court case. You go over all the evidence again, make sure all your arguments were sound. But it doesn't make any sense. It just doesn't matter now.
Your ego got fatter
You hate giving them that satisfaction. That silent satisfaction that they had control of your mind, they had an affect on your life.
But I digress.
who the hell would reject butch?! he's so hot ;D
Butch, you rock man. Rock on. Peace out. Innit.

Hello, how you doing?
What's it like to ruin all my self-esteem?
Let me blow off some steam
For five years I waited, so why am I jaded to get back at you?
What it makes it cool
SHE LEFT HIM, AND HE STILLLOVING HER, AND HE HAS WAITED FOR 5 YEARS
When you act like nothing ever happened
I feel like I should feel bad
But I can't like someone who thought they're the only one that mattered
I hope that you're flattered
'Cause you broke this down
The best thing that you never had
SHE SEES HIM AND SHE ACTS LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED, LIKE THEY NEVER KNEW EACH OTHER, SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS THE ONLY ONE AND SHE WAS VERY SELFISH AND SHE DESTROY THE REALTIONSHIP BUT HE WAS THE BEST THAT EVER HAPPENED TO HER AND HE LOVES HER
