She eyes me like a Pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks
I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black

Hey
Wait
I got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey
Wait
I got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey
Wait
I got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Your advice

Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself on angel hair and baby's breath
Broken hymen of Your Highness, I'm left black
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back

Hey
Wait
I got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey
Wait
I got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey
Wait
I got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Your advice

She eyes me like a Pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks
I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black

Hey
Wait
I got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey
Wait
I got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey
Wait
I got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Your advice
Your advice
Your advice

    So actually I listened to the lyrics a bit more and tried to think of what they meant; ignoring the sarcastic love song, abortion, and cancer myths. And well I came to the conclusion that it kind of sounds like this is about him getting diagnosed with depression; I know I'm wrong, but that's what I thought.

    "Hey, Wait; I've got a new complaint, Forever in debt to your priceless advice."

    It sounds like he could be saying, him getting diagnosed with depression is just another thing for him to complain about to her [Courtney], and that now her words can't really change it, because now he's been told by professionals that something's wrong with him.

    Like I said before, I know I'm wrong; but that's just what I thought. :]
