Lyrics

You asked me to serve your divorce papers at the zoo

You requested that I deliver your divorce papers at the zoo.

When I tell the story my friends think it isn't true

When I share this story, my friends find it hard to believe.

My mom says you sound like a poorly written character

According to my mom, your behavior resembles a poorly crafted character in a young adult novel, especially your inclination for melodrama.

In a young adult novel, the way you crave the melodrama

You are described as craving melodrama, similar to a character in a young adult novel.

Asking to serve your divorce papers at the zoo

Reiteration of the request to serve divorce papers at the zoo.

I'm keeping a note in my phone of the shit you'd say

I keep a record in my phone of the things you say, highlighting your selfishness.

So I won't forget you were selfish in every way

Acknowledging your selfishness in various aspects.

Like how you were seeing that girl when you were out of town

You were involved with another girl while out of town and then complained about my lack of accommodation.

Then came home complaining that I was not accommodating

I endured silently to hear the unpleasant things you said.

Holding my tongue just to listen to shit you'd say

Not an attempt to embarrass or ruin your life, but wishing you could understand my pain.

I'm not trying to embarrass you or ruin your life

Expressing a desire for you to feel some of the pain experienced.

But if you felt a little of my pain, I wouldn't mind

Reflecting on your actions when you forget them in bed and expressing gratitude for making it easy not to miss you.

When you're laying in your bed and you forget the things you said

Thanking you for making it easy not to miss you due to the hurtful things you said.

Let me remind you and say thanks for making it easy not to miss you

Rejecting the assumption that women are incapable of wanting more than what was offered in the relationship.

You said it's because I'm a woman I didn't cheat

You cried in my car when I denied you staying at the house, and there's a suggestion to contact Mr. Hardy.

As if somehow I couldn't want more than what you offered me

Questioning the need for an apology for not letting you stay, emphasizing commitment as a faithful woman.

You cried in my car when I said you could not stay at the house

Reiteration of not intending to embarrass or ruin your life, but expressing a willingness for you to understand the pain.

Like I should be sorry, why don't you call Mr. Hardy

Recalling your actions in bed and appreciation for making it easy not to miss you.

I'm busy being a woman waiting faithful and holy

Expectation that the songs may seem amusing to you, but a hope that it hurts when you remember how well I knew you.

I'm not trying to embarrass you or ruin your life

Regret for listening well while acknowledging your lack of attentiveness, and highlighting the consequences you now face.

But if you felt a little of my pain, I wouldn't mind

Not attempting to embarrass or ruin your life, but expressing the indifference to seeing your face again.

When you're laying in your bed and you forget the things you said

Reminder of the ease of not missing you when lonely and forgetting the reasons for the separation.

Let me remind you and say thanks for making it easy not to miss you

Expressing gratitude for making it easy not to miss you.

I know you'll act like all these songs are kinda funny to you

Awareness that you may find the songs amusing, but a wish for them to remind you of how well I knew you.

But I hope it kinda hurts when you remember how I knew you

Highlighting the discomfort caused by your actions and the imbalance in listening and understanding in the relationship.

It sucks how well I listened and it sucks how much you didn't

Acknowledging the difficulty in dealing with the consequences you now face.

Cuz you're the one who's living with a million consequences

Reiteration of not trying to embarrass or ruin your life but expressing the indifference to seeing your face again.

I'm not trying to embarrass you or ruin your life

When lonely in bed and forgetting the reasons for the separation, there's a reminder of the ease of not missing you.

But if I never saw your face again, I wouldn't mind

Expressing gratitude for making it easy not to miss you.

When you're lonely in your bed and you're forgetting why I left

Closing statement expressing thanks for making it easy not to miss you.

Let me remind you and say thanks for making it easy not to miss you

Final expression of thanks for making it easy not to miss you.

Ohh

Repetition of gratitude for making it easy not to miss you.

Thanks for making it easy not to miss you

Concluding thanks for making it easy not to miss you.
