Modest Mouse – Bankrupt on Selling Lyrics 14 years ago
"And it took a long time
but I came clean with myself,
I'd come clean out of love with my lover.
I still love her,
loved her more when she used to be sober and I was kinder"

This song is less depressing than just real, and sometimes life can kick you in the balls. I think that this song is about just knowing that.
But the last verse means a lot to me. It's almost like my ex would think this. He kinda had a really dark view of the world, so the whole song really fits him, but this last verse happened between us. And I think it's amazing that this song vocalizes that feeling.
