dear jack
Sometimes I think about how I gave it all to you
you said yourself I fucked it up
And yet you fucked up too
And now I wonder while I stand inside these old bowling shoes
How many before me tied these laces
And how many were hurt by you
And the time goes by
And I feel cold inside
When your name rolls through my head
And with every single second
I still wish we were dead
and it's odd that every chance I get
I find that I sing about you
And it's so odd to think
That you were on the brink
Of barely singing about me too
And you said
I know to many jacks I can't keep up with it all
Well fuck you skyler I've already heard it all
And I'm apparently
bipolar and a little bit of a bitch
But no diagnosis could mean much more than this
Dear jack! I hope you're doing fine
And by that I mean I hope you made some pothead friends and got wasted and stoned and left behind
Dear jack! I know you're moving on!
But I hope you wake up inside your mothers truck right outside of my front lawn.
And you told me I looked so good
Even standing in my bowling shoes
And I thought you were so stupid
But I honestly had nothing to lose
And I said there's a little room in the back of the bowling alley
Where we can slip into something comfortable
And our friends got out the way and it was you and me
And by the time my mom picks me up, I'll be sure to be much more loveable
And then you laughed at me and cried a lot and said I'm just a little girl
And I just got so mad and i just couldn't stand
Cause that's not what you said or what you felt just the night before
And I'm apparently
bipolar and a little bit of a bitch
But no diagnosis could mean much more than this
Dear jack! I hope you're doing fine
And by that I mean I hope you made some pothead friends and got wasted and stoned and left behind
Dear jack! I know you're moving on!
But I hope you wake up inside your mothers truck right outside of my front lawn.
