Did I let you down to get that sound
And break my knees to get release
And you needed some just to take you from
And I hit you more
Is your face still sore?

Sorry but I tried
It was never mine
And I can still pretend
I guess it all depends
I'm still a little crazy all the time
But I can try to hide it
That's still mine

Try a little more
a little more
a little more
They slap you like a bitch
and you take it like a whore

What a cheap perfume
I hate this room
So testify
But I still tried
And you need that stamp
Little handshake tramp
And you hit me more
And my face is still sore

Sorry but I tried
It was never mine
And I can still pretend
I guess it all depends
I'm still a little crazy all the time
But I can try to hide it
That's still mine

Try a little more
a little more
a little more
They slap you like a bitch
and you take it like a whore

Upside down
and around
and around
Just another piece
Till you need another sound

Faze them out
I know what you scream about
Don't let me down

And the guilt in me is the hurt in you
And the hurt in you is the lost in me
And the lost in me is the need in you
And the need in you is the guilt in me

    General Comment:I just want MTrench to comment and TELL us! Haha. So much easier when the artist just flat out tells you the meaning of their song. I guess that ruins the mystery though, hmmm?

    Song Meaning:This is about Josh being in an abusive relationship, with a whore. She sluts around with a bunch of guys, but also physically abuses Josh. He didn't have the guts to leave her, though. One day, he finally snapped and hit her back. Listen to it over and over, and you'll see how it makes sense. Most of his songs are about past relationships and his drug problems. People who say they're just a shitty punkband.. SERIOUSLY? Listen to the lyrics for their other songs. Amazing.

    General Comment:I don't know why everyone's so vehement about it being about rough sex, judging by phrases like "to get release" and "you needed some" it's quite a legit suggestion.

    Are we totally and completely SURE that it's "lost" and not "lust"? :\

    General Comment:I remember hearing this somewhere but I misheard the lyrics 'Smack you like a bitch and you take it like a whore' as 'Smack you like a bitch and you fake it like a door', and I'm like 'What the hell?'.
    And ever since, when I hear that part of the song I get a little mental image of a door getting an award.
    Just thought I'd share that.
