Really Might Be Gone
Bowling for Soup · A Hangover You Don't Deserve [2004]
Not much to lean on, I'll get through it
You know I do it to myself anyway
She's got my calls blocked and she's through with it
You know I do it to myself anyway
You know I think it might be time
To give myself a rise and shine
And I'll be happy and my couch is gonna miss me
And all the girls will wanna kiss me
Gotta get my shit together (Gotta get my shit together)
Cause this is dragging on and on
And I can't wait around forever (I can't wait around forever)
I'm starting to think she really might be gone (Yeah)
She's got a boyfriend, I'm looking through it
And I can't do it to myself anyway
And I won't slam her cause I blew it
You know I do it to myself anyway
And maybe she doesn't have the time
To deal with issues such as mine
And she'll be happy but I swear she's gonna miss me
Cause all the girls will wanna kiss me
Gotta get my shit together (Gotta get my shit together)
Cause this is dragging on and on
And I can't wait around forever (I can't wait around forever)
I'm starting to think she really might be gone
And I
Didn't want us to say
I didn't want us to say (Yeah)
And I
I'm better off this way
I'm better off this way without you anyway
Gotta get my shit together (It's dragging on)
Cause this is dragging on and on
And I can't wait around forever (She might be gone)
I'm starting to think she really might be gone
Gotta get my shit together (Gotta get my shit together)
I've gotta get my shit together (I can't wait around forever)
Gotta get my shit together (She might be gone)
Yea! Oh! C'mon! (Yeah that is BS)
