you spend too much time sat in your bedroom, on your pc
are you sure you couldn’t have found the time,
swallowed your pride and admitted your jealousy
sometimes i’m bad, sometimes i’m rotten, sometimes i say things i probably,
should have forgotten about people or things
do you know who i am, i’m like a morrissey with some strings
– what took you so long- the courteeners
