Like I Do

(album: Infidelity In The Throne Room - 2012)

There it go, uh
She's gone cold again
Light it up
Tonight she's with a friend
Cause I don't know what else I could've said
Well I do, but I don't care to say that

You don't understand girl, I'm the fucking man girl
And you don't understand girl, no one's ever loved you like I do

Tonight I feel like drowning in the rosé
Coldplay coming out the speakers in the kitchen and the hallway
Spanish girls in the cut, I call them Jose
But I ain't married to my art, I cut the bouquet
Foreign labels on the side of unfamiliar bottles ordered at a private club, the devil wore Prada too
We'll be up all night and passing out at noon, then waking up just in time to make round two
And if I miss because I sleep in, the weekend is right around the corner
Light a swisher, keep the lights dim
And don't remind me that she didn't come home or return any calls I made to her phone while she was out
I'm chilling tryna keep myself distracted with some black and white photographs that feel so nostalgic
I'm playing myself, I can't believe it lasted this long
And I will watch it leave until it's gone

You don't understand girl, I'm the fucking man girl
And you don't understand girl, no one's ever loved you like I do

I honestly thought that I didn't care, probably thought that she'd always be here
That's what I thought, that she'd always be here but now that she's gone I got nothing to fear
The worst that could happen though already has
And this is how she reacted to love in the past
And I say that I won't but I know I'll always look back and think of it one day, I hope that I laugh
Who am I kidding? I'm filling my living room up with liquor and women
They kicking the mud into my condo
The minute they ask if I'm single I'll fail to listen to some bullshit

Aside from all the bullshit I carry with me in my luggage
I guarantee I'll be the realist one who ever loved you
Clearly I am tired from the struggle
I better get some steroids, I don't have that kind of muscle now
Red lights, just let me give this a go
The first cut is deep but it missed my throat
I just surround myself with people who are unimportant cause they argue 'round my mind and their drinks imported

You don't understand girl, I'm the fucking man girl
And you don't understand girl, no one's ever loved you like I do

All the city lights
And the pretty girls
I'm pretty sure this is what I want
All the pretty lights
And the pretty girls
I'm pretty sure this is what I want
And never be alone again
