I won't regret saying this
This thing that I'm saying
Is it better than keeping my mouth shut
That goes without saying
Call, break it off
Call, break my own heart
Maybe I would have been something you'd be good at
Maybe you would have been something I'd be good at
But now we'll never know
I won't be sad
But in case I go there
Everyday, to make myself feel bad
There's a chance that I'll start to wonder if this was the thing to do
I won't be out long
But I still think it better if
You take your time coming over here
I think that's for the best
Call, break it off
Call, break my own heart
Maybe I would have been something you would be good at
Maybe you would have been something I would be good at
But now we'll never know
I won't be sad
But in case I go there
Everyday, to make myself feel bad
There's a chance that I'll start to wonder if this was the thing to do
I'll start to wonder if this was the thing to do
This thing that I'm saying
Is it better than keeping my mouth shut
That goes without saying
Call, break it off
Call, break my own heart
Maybe I would have been something you'd be good at
Maybe you would have been something I'd be good at
But now we'll never know
I won't be sad
But in case I go there
Everyday, to make myself feel bad
There's a chance that I'll start to wonder if this was the thing to do
I won't be out long
But I still think it better if
You take your time coming over here
I think that's for the best
Call, break it off
Call, break my own heart
Maybe I would have been something you would be good at
Maybe you would have been something I would be good at
But now we'll never know
I won't be sad
But in case I go there
Everyday, to make myself feel bad
There's a chance that I'll start to wonder if this was the thing to do
I'll start to wonder if this was the thing to do

Two old crushes still link to this... One male the other female still see them once a week or everyday and i still sometimes feel bad because if it, the betrale i feel for myself...
A more recent crush, one i still hold, on a girl, I've been triyng to decided wether to just forget about it, call off all the feelings while breaking my heart, or to tell her how i feel, i dont want to make it hard as i see her everyweek and we have to work togther (drama, last week we were lovers - how ironic)
"But I still think it better if
You take your time coming over here
I think that's for the best"
^^ is the thing that links to her the most, she only talks if i talk to herm she never makes the first move... i always have to do something, edit photos of her...
Tegan talks about it and quite describes it a bit ;)
"I wont regret saying this
This thing that I'm saying
Is it better than keeping my mouth shut?
That goes without saying"
Tegan isn't going to regret ending this "kind of" relationship, she knows that ending it is better than sticking around.
"Call, break it off
Call, break my own heart"
She is calling the person to end the relationship because she knows it will be better for her in the long run but right now it's not really something she wants to do, hence, "break my own heart". Also, this song kind of, to me, seems like it goes along with Soil, Soil because of this part.
"Maybe I would've been something you'd be good at
Maybe you would've been something I'd be good at"
Pretty self-explanitory, I think, she feels like she messes everything up but she feels like she could have been good at this relationship.
"But now we'll never know
I won't be sad
But in case I'll go there
Everyday, to make myself feel bad
There's a chance that I'll start to wonder if this was the thing to do"
This is where the Myspace stalking comes into play, she isn't going to be sad about the relationship with this person but, she goes to their page everyday and she see's that they're happy and obviously that's going to make anyone feel bad. Then she wonders if she made the right decision ending the relationship.
"I won't be out long
But I still think it better if
You take your time coming over here
I think that's for the best"
She's saying that she isn't going to be out long but she really doesn't want to see this person so she just wants them to take their time and keep putting off seeing them.
On The Con: The Movie, Tegan says with laughter "...This song is about MySpace stalking, but you can see the big picture!", and I don't know why but that makes it have more meaning for me. My exgirlfriend was my bestfriend but we got off on the absolute worst foot, it wasn't even the wrong foot it was like someone chopped off the metaphorical foot and we just fell onto the concrete and got all scratched up with broken bones, then we both tried standing back up and limping in different directions. It was terrible.
I still look at her tumblr. All the time. Every night. I just look at it and what she says and her new boyfriend and everything just comes back to me and I think "we could have been this" and it hurts so much. It hurts more than I can describe and I just have this feeling in my gut like "I know this was better for us, but..."
It brings back old memories and old pains. I connect to this song a lot more than I can describe. It will forever be my favorite Tegan and Sara song.
i really feel like i can relate to the lyrics.
i've recently started liking my best friend, who i know has liked me on and off.
he just can't see that i'm not going to wait around because i know thats just a bad way to go about the whole situation.
such an amazing song
