Constant Headache

I could hear you coming

So I hid by the couch.

You were talking so loudly

I don't know what about.

But you were drunker than high school

Self-conscious and sweet.

I never ever felt so cool

Disguised in your sheets.

But I'm a constant headache

A tooth out of line.

They try to make you regret it

You tell them, “No, not this time.”

I'm just a constant headache

A dead pet device.

You hang me up, unfinished

With the better part of me no longer mine.

And then you finally found me

Pretending to sleep.

You said such nice things about me

I felt guilty and cheap.

You took two steps to the kitchen

And just stared at the sink.

I couldn't hold back a smile

I still wish I could have seen;

You having sex in the morning

Your love was foreign to me.

It made me think maybe

Human's not such a bad thing to be.

But I just laid there in protest

Entirely fucked.

It's such a stubborn reminder

One perfect night's not enough.

It's just a constant headache

A tooth out of line.

They try to make you regret it

You tell them, “No, not this time”

It's just a constant headache.

A dead pet device.

You hang me up, unfinished

With the better part of me no longer mine.
