Lyrics
So sad for not saying sorry
Expressing regret for not apologizing.
Here's to being almost twenty four and alone
Reflecting on being almost 24 years old and feeling lonely.
I lit a cigarette on my way back from West View apartments
Describing a moment of solitude, lighting a cigarette after leaving West View apartments.
Now all my friends are getting married
Observing friends getting married, feeling alienated.
They look at me like I have a terminal disease
Experiencing judgment from others for being single.
I guess being the loner wasn't all that it's cracked up to be
Realizing that being a loner isn't as glamorous as it seemed.
As someone who works a career in dental hygiene
Working in dental hygiene, noting irony in a colleague's yellow smile.
The irony is seeping through the cracks in his yellow smile
Highlighting the contrast between a survival-based life and the desire for a meaningful connection.
As someone living life based on the purpose of only surviving
Expressing the need for a new relationship to counter feelings of loneliness.
The status of your new ones gotta be my antidote
Desiring the status or companionship of a new partner as a remedy.
Be my antidote
Repeating the plea for a new relationship to be the antidote to loneliness.
I guess I never really saw this coming
Acknowledging a lack of foresight in anticipating current circumstances.
I guess I never really saw it all at all
Reflecting on not fully comprehending the situation at hand.
I guess I really shoulda saw this coming
Regretting not foreseeing the challenges that have arisen.
My straight and narrow blinded me all along
Realizing that a narrow perspective blinded the individual to certain truths.
I had this made up in my mind
Having preconceived notions before meeting someone.
I had this made up in my mind before I met you
Implying that the other person knew the individual's nature from the start.
You knew exactly what I was about

I've been betrayed before
Recalling a moment of disappointment in a bar's bathroom involving a friend.
I've been let down again in the bathroom of a bar by the lips of my best friend

The perfect way to seal the deal on that summer
Referring to a significant event that marked the end of a summer.
You left my show early to make out with my drummer
Expressing betrayal by a friend who left a show early to be with a romantic rival.
Is all it takes is some drinks to get you out of those jeans?
Questioning the ease with which someone can be swayed by alcohol.
I never trusted him anyway but are you really that easy?
Expressing distrust towards a drummer and questioning the other person's choices.
I guess I never really saw this comin
Reiterating the surprise at the unexpected turn of events.
I guess I never really saw it at all
