Spent most of last night
Dragging this lake
For the corpses of all my past mistakes
Sell me out the jokes on you
We are salt and you are the wound

Empty another bottle
And let me tear you to pieces
This is me wishing you into the worst situations
I'm the kind of kid that can't let anything go
But you wouldn't know a good thing
If it came up and slit your throat

Whoa
Whoa
Oh
Whoa
Whoa

Your remorse hasn't fallen on deaf ears
Rather ones that just don't care
Cause I know that your in between arms somewhere
Next to heartbeats
Where you shouldn't dare sleep
Now, I'll teach you a lesson
For Keeping secrets from me

Take your taste, back
Peel back your skin
And try to forget how it feels inside
You should try saying "No once in a while"
"Oh once in a while"

Take your taste, back
Peel back your skin
And try to forget how it feels inside
You should try saying "No once in a while"
"Oh once in a while"

And did you hear the news?
I could dissect you
And gut you on this stage,
Not as eloquent as I may have imagined
But it will get the job done
And you're, done

Every line is plotted and designed
To leave you
Standing on your bedroom window's ledge
And everyone else
That it hits, that it gets to
Is nothing more than collateral damage

Take your taste, back
Peel back your skin
And try to forget how it feels inside
You should try saying "No once in a while"
"Oh once in a while"

Take your taste, back
Peel back your skin
And try to forget how it feels inside
You should try saying "No once in a while"
"Oh once in a while"

    General Comment:Yikes! This song is definately a warning to not cheat on any member of FOB.

    So I always thought this song was about cheating, but when i truly scrutenized it, I realized that the cheater was having sexual relations with multiple guys behind the writer's back, and he knows and is upset about the fact that he had a relationship with a slut who desired sexual excitement WAY too much.

    Moral: don't ever cheat, especially if his name is Andy, Joe, Pat, or Pete, mmkay?

    General Comment:"sell me out, the jokes on you
    he is salt and you are the wound" - feeling betrayed, the girls flirting and it hurts so much and with that guys it hurts more (imagine adding salt to your wound?)

    "empty another bottle
    and let me tear you to pieces
    this is me wishing you into the worst situations" - liquors for the broken-heart cursing the girl hoping she'll feel the way you feel

    "your remorse hasn't fallen on deaf ears
    rather ones that just don't care
    cause i know
    that you're in between arms somewhere
    next to heartbeats where you shouldn't be asleep
    now i'll teach you a lesson for keeping secrets from me" - don't try to tell me too forgive you that easily you've been cheating me!

    "and did you hear the news
    i could dissect you and gut you on this stage
    not as elequent as i may have imagined
    but it will get the job done
    you're done

    every line is plotted and designed
    to leave you standing on your bedroom windows ledge
    and everyone else that it hits
    that it gets to
    is nothing more than collateral damage" - hey listen up! made this song to reach you... I can spill out all your dirty works here bust we may be ruining our career as the FOB for being to personal and same for you...you'll be messed up... listen to the lyrics... every single was made artistically to sting you..and oh...just consider this a payback for the pain you cause me (nothing more than collateral damage)
