lyrics

It was an accident
I swore it'd never happen
I was overwhelmed by passion
And now I love her more than I should
You know I can't control my actions
Yet you never understood
I can't explain the attraction
It's more than I can fathom
But if I could, I don't think I would
She's so much different than you
I just wanted to try something new
Moving on is what I've longed to do
It's true
I want to be more than shit at the bottom of your shoe
But for some reason I have a feeling you and I
Are not yet through

I was so happy to have something at last
I'd been waiting so long to have you in my grasp
For a second we were having a blast
But it shattered so fast
Gone in a flash
And a thousand years later
I still suffer the past

I was so happy to have something at last
I'd been waiting so long to have you in my grasp
For a second we were having a blast
But it shattered so fast
Gone in a flash
And a thousand years later
I still suffer the past

Oh, Amy, she's perfect for me
She likes my corny
Poetry and stories
You always found so boring
I think about her all night
And she's on my mind
When I rise
In the morning
I don't feel the same shame for adoring
Her that I did for you
And I don't feel regret for ignoring
Your warnings that I didn't heed
Like the millions of texts I sent but you'd never read
Initially you told me I wouldn't be
Able to handle you and I was finally forced to agree
Defeat conceded
A few short years before I wrote a song called 'conceited'
About my inner weakness
But despite the title I still bitterly
Lived in misery
Because of the way you treated me
I used to think you completed me
Which is the reason I'm still depleted
Never thought I'd meet another girl who might be
That big, missing piece of me
But I did Amy, and she's perfect
So why do you still dwell beneath the surface?
Until I'm certain I'm vermin
Incurably infatuated, sure I serve no purpose
But as long as one last lick of flame
Still flickers in my heart's furnace
I'll still be determined
To make her mine
Like I demanded of you when you were still a virgin
Which you haven't been in a very long time
Yeah, I'm still determined to make her mine
Like I demanded of you when you were still a virgin
Which you haven't been in a very long time

I was so happy to have something at last
I'd been waiting so long to have her in my grasp
For a second we were having a blast
But it shattered so fast
Gone in a flash
And a thousand years from now
I'll still suffer the past

And I'll torture myself for never getting a chance
And I'll torture myself for never getting in her pants
I would give anything for one last chat
But she's leaving me, Amy, and that's that

I was so happy to have something at last
I'd been waiting so long to have her in my grasp
For a second we were having a blast
But it shattered so fast
Gone in a flash
And a thousand years from now
I'll still suffer the past

I was so happy to have something at last
I'd been waiting so long to have her in my grasp
For a second there we were having a blast
But it shattered so fast
Gone in a flash
And a thousand years from now
I'll still suffer the past

She's leaving me, Amy
Just when I thought I was getting close
She deceived me, Amy
Love ain't so fleeting ain't it
I remember when you got up and walked away
I went ape shit
And I punched a hole in the wall
All for your mother's entertainment
I found someone new for your information
But she's leaving me, Amy
So I come crawling back for more of the same shit
Well aware of the implications
