Lyrics:
VERSE 1
I'm moving in
She's moving out to Los Angeles
She's got a truck; she's got my stuff
Packed into it
PRE-CHORUS
Just seven months
Was just enough
Of putting up with me
Imagine that
A baseball bat upside her TV
she says she needs some therapy
CHORUS
You know it seemed so simple before
She could have asked
I would have given her anything
And now it's 1, 2, 3
Blame it all on me
And I had to find it out the hard way
VERSE 2
She calls me up
She's breaking down
In Los Angeles
She misses home
She's all alone
She can't handle it
PRE-CHORUS
But seven months was just enough
Of putting up with her
You're brand new nose & bigger boobs
Don't change a thing
You need some therapy
I think you need some help
*CHORUS*
BRIDGE
She's got a lot to figure out
She's got a lot to think about
She's got a lot to forget about
She's got a lot to live without
So many things to miss about me
*CHORUS*
