Analysis of Stuck On the Couch Where I Fell In Love



I'm the collage of your best and worst habits
While you're the montage of what I can't have and its
Killing me to know
that she's calling you “hers"
Thought I let you go
And can't decide on what's worse:
crawling this dead end road for miles
and ignoring the signs I had found,
or how clever wit and alluring smiles
are what kept me from turning around
