The Front Bottoms - Tattooed tears - commentary lyrics

"Tattooed Tears" You should know that you don't kick if you don't have to All's fair in love and war, I know, don't get me wrong But if you listen to your heart it may mislead you Lord I should know, I've felt lost for so long You had me go from what I though was smart and careful To seriously slipping out of control But I have to learn that this love will never be convenient I'm gonna have to learn that this love will never be convenient It's not like a movie when we kiss; there is no music when we kiss And I'm gonna have to learn that this love will never be convenient I hear her whisper "all I want is to want nothing" The room is dark and I'm pretty sure she thinks I'm asleep She says “it just don't make no sense. Why can't it work out in my head Why I can't be happy when there's definitely reasons I should be” She says that I, for one, will not be held responsible for someone else, I gotta go I'm gonna have to learn that this love will never be convenient And I'm gonna have to learn that this love will never be convenient, convenient, convenient Let's talk about how it felt on my shoulders as it came pouring out my ears Let's talk about the face of our love and how it might look with the addition of tattooed tears Let's talk about the torn up skin on my fingers right where it meets my fingernails Let's talk about what you call smart and careful is seriously slipping out of control I'm gonna have to learn that this love will never be convenient I'm gonna have to learn that this love will never be convenient It's not like a movie when we kiss, there'll never be no music when we kiss And I'm gonna have to learn that this love will never be convenient, convenient, convenient
