Fruit Cocktail

by line dry only

I didn't know my thoughts
had any place in your mind

but I knew when you came home
drunk and staggering

you'd had just a little too much
jack daniels

see, jack was always
my
worst enemy

he was always around
when you called me
a bitch
slut
whore
stupid
dumb
ugly
fat
cow

see, jack was always
my
worst enemy

you always say you're sorry
an hour after you beat me

I didn't know my thoughts
had any place in your mind

when people say
"I love you"

they don't use it as an excuse.

see, jack was always
my
worst enemy

Remember that time
when we rode our bikes together?
and I asked you if you knew
why the sky was blue

and you said
"you shouldn't ask questions like that"

and with the awards
and finding out that my ears knew what perfect
sounds like
and telling you why I almost threw myself over the edge
with our own naive kitchen knife

and
you said
"get to the point"

jack daniels was always
my
worst enemy.

and you said
"if you don't shut up,
I'm gonna slap you so hard
that you
don't
wake up."

I didn't know my thoughts
had
any
place in your mind.

And
since you always say you're sorry
an hour after you beat me

"I love you"
always comes out as a
sorry, pitiful,,
ugly
excuse
