The Nerve

First day I knew that I didn't like the way she wouldn't save me a seat
She strings feelings like she's braiding hair and rolls her eyes at people like me
But you carpooled your way to the party, laughing late in right through the door
She don't know I'm shaking on the phone, that we've got this set in stone

I didn't know I was second rate
I didn't know I could be replaced
And yeah I saw
The photographs
They took I never had

I swear I'm not exaggerating
I'm thinking so logically
Once she came along
All the best things had gone from me
And I'm trying to calm down

But how can I believe she had the nerve, the nerve, the nerve, the nerve
To get me burned, me burned, me burned
So I'll just have more fun than her
Till she hurts
The way that I do

Maybe I've been crying in my room about her and all that she took away
Guess I was just a practice companion that no one ever cared about anyway

I didn't think a good thing could end
I didn't think I'd get left again
And yeah she's tall
And yeah she's blonde
But can she write a song
Like I do?

Swear I'm not exaggerating
I'm thinking so logically
Once she came along
All the best things had gone from me
And I'm trying to calm down

But how can I believe she had the nerve, the nerve, the nerve, the nerve
To get me burned, me burned, me burned
So I'll just have more fun than her
Till she hurts
The way that I do

Maybe not today
Maybe not tomorrow
But real, real soon

And all at once
I watched my world turn upside down
She laughs like it's a game
My pain is made in eight incinerators
Losing flames, so say then
To my face then you don't need me, I'm the biggest clown you know
She's so much better than me, isn't she?

I swear I'm not exaggerating
I'm thinking so logically
Once she came along
All the best things had gone from me
And I'm trying to calm down
But I can't

Believe she had the nerve, the nerve, the nerve, the nerve
To get me burned, me burned, me burned
I have to have more fun than her
Till she hurts
Someday she's gonna hurt

How do I have more fun than her?
She should hurt
The way that I do
