Story Behind the Song
The original motivation for the song was my jealousy and dislike of my girlfriend's ex-boyfriend. It was written in a very short amount of time, and recorded in one night. The vocals were done mostly in one take (per track). It turned out to be a very tongue-in-cheek song, as the jealousy and frustration wore away pretty quickly. And I ended up turning this in for a final project at school.
Lyrics
whatever happened to the time we said we'd try
whatever happened to my time, I thought I'd try
to act a little more like you, I stayed awake
trying to think of ways to do it, i can't remember
whatever happened to the day we stayed awake,
whatever happened to the days, that we were cool,
when you felt that I was your friend, and me to you
I can't remember anymore, last time we talked
lately i've been thinking,
my time is slowly tripping away
and you have nothing left to say,
I bide my time while, your thoughts waste away
I can't expect much more than that
Chorus:
It doesn't matter what you do,
I'm still amazed by the light hanging over you,
It doesn't matter what you say,
I'm still in love with you and that's the price I pay,
Whatever happened to that guy, I saw you with
I know you said you only want, to be his friend
Whatever happened to that night, we said we'd try
I really fucking hate his guts, he can eat a dick
Lately I've been wishing (I),
(I) could keep up with my feelings,
and you have nothing more to say,
I pass my time while, the fire dies away,
How can you spend more time with him?
(Chorus)
Bridge:
?
Whatever happened to my friend, you were all I had
We used to talk 'cuz misery, loves company
and then i found someone who gives, me what I need
now you talk behind my back, who are you to judge
Lately I've been thinking,
My life is slowly crumbling away,
and you can't help me save it all,
But then I realize that you have no idea,
Fuck you I'm gonna do this my way
Chorus + Chorus 2:
It never matters what you see,
cuz I'm a lie in your mind, you never think of me,
It never matters what you do,
I'm captivated by the thought of you, it's sad but true,
