You Were Perfect & I’m Sorry

And I met her downtown in the slums of Austin
Once we were sober, she said
"I'm from Boston"
I told her, "I couldn't give Massa-two-shits"
Luckily, she likes guys that treat her like

Help me, everyone calls me Mickey
Just wanna be your darling
'Cause fame is fuckin' empty
You warned me
So, listen, I know you're probably with him
And maybe for good reason
But, you don't fuckin' need him
I warned you

I tried my best to hide it
But now I'm done denying

You were perfect and I'm so sorry
I'm such a dick
But you still love me
I still regret letting you leave me
Don't you forget you used to need me

Should probably take my own advice now
And move on with my life now
And stop singing about how you left me
Maybe stop getting your advice from the guy you get your high from
If you want my advice
(Run) real quickly

How can I love someone that can't stand
The thought of loving me back?
Why do I think I need that?
I know you, pick me
But one day, babe, you'll thank me
For teaching you how to leave
A piece of shit just like me
I warned you

I tried my best to hide it
But now I'm done denying

You were perfect and I'm so sorry
I'm such a dick
But you still love me
I still regret letting you leave me
Don't you forget you used to need me

(You used to need me)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(You used to need me)

Yeah, I remember when you said how you wish that I was dead
So, I tried to kill myself
Swallowed way too many pills
And god the tummy-ache was shit
But not enough to kill the kid
Sometimes I wish I didn't live
But I'm so fucking glad I did

I remember what you said
You were wishing I was dead
Now, you're wishing me the best
'Cause my song's stuck in your head
I can't believe the things I did
For some narcissistic bitch
I'm so glad I still exist
Just so I can rub it in

You were perfect and I'm so sorry
I'm such a dick
But you still love me
I still regret letting you leave me
Don't you forget you used to need me

You, you used to need me
