Lost Love Chronicles: Shannon Marie's Unraveled Secrets
Lyrics
God only knows why
Expressing uncertainty or disbelief about reasons known only to God.
You never listened to my records
Regretting that the person never showed interest in the singer's music.
God only knows why
Reiterating uncertainty or disbelief about reasons known only to God.
You never moved out west with me
Expressing regret that the person didn't move with the singer to the western part of the country.
You lie so good
Accusing the person of being skilled at lying, even to themselves.
That you believe it your damn self
Expressing frustration and determination to take drastic action.
And I'll fucking burn that town
Willingness to take extreme measures due to the person's deceit.
For making you a liar
Blaming the town for enabling the person's dishonesty.
You said that I only care about myself
Recalling an accusation made by the person regarding the singer's self-centeredness.
But all I was doing was trying to impress you
Explaining that efforts were to impress the person, not self-centeredness.
Shannon Marie, still in your prom dress
Reference to Shannon Marie still in her prom dress, possibly indicating a lack of progress or growth.
I've been restless
Feeling uneasy or unable to find peace.
I guess I know why
Reflecting on a realization or understanding of a situation.
You took that night shift
Commenting on the person's decision to take a night shift.
To hell with your roommates
Disregard for the person's roommates, possibly with negative judgment.
Cause they're just hookers
Labeling the roommates as derogatory, suggesting they're not respectable.
And I'll fucking burn that town
Willingness to take extreme measures due to the person's lifestyle changes.
For making you a drinker
Blaming the town for influencing the person's drinking habits.
So I'll send you our pictures
Intent to exchange past memories through pictures.
And you can send me my bill
Requesting reimbursement for shared expenses or debts.
And you can burn our old mattress
Suggesting ending past connections symbolically by discarding a shared item.
And quit them goddamn birth control pills
Urge to stop using contraception, possibly to move on from the past relationship.
Shannon Marie, still in your prom dress
Reiteration of Shannon Marie in her prom dress, emphasizing a stagnant state.
I was breathless
Recalling a moment of being overwhelmed or speechless.
Shannon Marie, alone on your birthday
Noting Shannon Marie's solitude on her birthday.
Oh for God's sake
Expression of frustration or exasperation.
Oh for God's sake
Repeated expression of exasperation or frustration.
