Tomorrow Is Heartbreak Lyrics
Bitter X it must feel better Holding that grudge It's a feeling so familiar Not unlike love Unrequited she's scarred in hatred Yesterday's moving [repeat] It's easier to locate A better nest Tell them you never lived in such a mess Emily at her best in black Reminds them all to stand back At a distance they won't notice the act All that she lacks You can see up close she's bitter Remembering wasted dinners Can't expect the creep to stay long But he's not the one who pissed her off Today is denial [repeat] It's easier if she won't See him again He's just another trip best forgotten Emily may be odd But she always gets even It's not unlike love Emily will find him again Another short-term boyfriend Emily, you'll always be alone Tomorrow is heartbreak [repeat] So bitter X I'm sorry Sorry I bit that hook I'm just a bad clich in your black book

Worst song off Blaze
SOOOO NOT TRUE
best song off Blaze(next to lullaby ;))
I think this song is about depression through many bad boyfriends and break ups. Im not sure but maybe theres an eating disorder like bulimia- "remembering wasted dinners" because of a sexual assult or rape or something along those lines- "Can't expect the creep to stay long But he's not the one who pissed her off". By spellin ex with a cross "X" it sorta points out that theres something wrong with her. i dunno but the lyrics kinda say that this is wat love is- "its not unlike love" maybe thats just like taking the good with the bad or something...iv just confused myslef!!!!
As someone who has been a bitter loser over a relationship before those first two lines, particularly the part about bitterness being a lot like love is true as fuck. Luckily I grew my balls back and stopped acting like a fag over some worthless cunt!
This song is about a girl he dated. After the relationship was over, he realizes that shes the kind of girl that moves from shitty relationship to shitty relationship no matter how much of a creep the guy is. Rather than staying in committed relationships, she moves on to a "better nest" since its easier to just forget the past and tell people it never happened (tell them you never lived in such a mess).
Once the second part of the song begins, Joey talks about how she keeps even her closest friends far away because she doesn't want them to see her for what she really is. She knows deep down that she's shit and her situation is shit.
The last part of this song talks about the kind of guys she dates. They're all assholes and creeps, and even though she sees this, she'll be back with another one just like him. As a result she'll never be truly happy. In the last lines of the song, Joey understands that he was just like the rest of them. And he's sorry for himself that he fell for it (sorry i bit that hook).
Overall its a great song that says a lot. However i could easily see this as a social commentary about today's girls as well. How girls date who date assholes let their bfs get away with anything and they sit there and let the cycle happen over and over again. They do nothing to help this and they will always be alone for it
This song is about a girl who goes through guys on a short term basis, "locate a better nest" as she is done with this fella and now get a new one
"So bitter X I'm sorry Sorry I bit that hook I'm just a bad clich in your black book"n as in he is just another one on this list she has been through
I think the commenters thus far have been a little off, and I think this song is more straightforward than you're making it out to be - it's less about the girl per se and more about Joey's process of grief.
"Yesterday's moving" aka distancing himself from the situation ("It's easier to locate a better nest / Tell them you never lived in such a mess"), "Today is denial" aka denying his previous feelings or that he's jealous of the new love interest ("Can't expect the creep to stay long / But he's not the one who pissed her off") then "Tomorrow is heartbreak" aka acceptance, where the song gets a little more vindictive as he's crushed by the situation ("Emily you'll always be alone"). After acceptance, he wishes it never happened at all ("Sorry I bit that hook").
Side note: who is Emily? Is Emily "E" from "E Dagger"? She's also referenced in Name Dropping off of Hoss ("Emily had sex with Joey").
It's an old song but I thought I'd share my understanding of it. As far as I know, Emily is Joey's toxic ex who's referenced in many songs. And the way she is described in those songs reminds me very very strongly of an ex of mine who has NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder), this song here especially. People with NPD are abusive and follow some very clear patterns in their behavior. With this perspective in mind:
"Bitter ex, it must feel better holding that grudge" - Narcs are always shifting blame. The ex is wrong, he is holding a grudge against her to make himself feel better, and she's not at fault. "Unrequited she's scarred in hatred" - same, she is the one hating, but thinks of herself as the victim, unrequited and scarred. "Yesterday's moving" - moving, possibly, in the meaning of emotionally moving. Narcs always have very touching stories about the past that aren't necessarily true but designed to make you feel compassion for them. "Better nest" - they very easily jump partner to partner, being very selfish and forming no genuine attachment "Tell them you never lived in such a mess" - can be two things... either denying how much of a mess the relationship was, or the opposite - exaggerating, as in they never lived in such a mess (before you), wanting to make you look bad and crazy "reminds them all to stand back/in the distance they won't notice the act" - narcissists are liars and fakers, all their interpersonal relations are shallow because they tend to hide behind a mask, and they cannot allow anyone to get close and see how nasty and broken they truly are. "Can't expect the creep to stay long/he's not the one who pissed her off" - narcs need constant attention so they might go to dates or start temporary relationships with people they don't even like just to not be alone... and the less they care the more abusive and prone to raging they are and it's not the target's fault. "Today is denial" - again, narcissists are fakers. They are prone to forming delusional beliefs about themselves and their lives, including denial of things they don't wanna see or admit. "Easier if she won't see him again" - they are avoidant and favor jumping ship over admitting their faults or issues "Emily may be odd, but she always gets even" - narcs are extremely vengeful even over petty things. They will go out of their way to "get even", always. "Another short term boyfriend" - recurring theme. They easily switch partners and can't hold a longer commitment due to their own selfishness, greed and abusive behavior. "Tomorrow is heartbreak" - obviously, pretty soon the narc will ruin the current relationship and cause heartbreak.
And probably the strongest line in here that makes me 100% think of narcissists: "So bitter ex I'm sorry, sorry you bit that hook, now I'm just a bad cliche in your black book" - all over again, the blame shifting. It's the ex's fault that he "bit the hook" and loved her and tried to be with her. Her abuse is his fault, he could have been more careful and not get involved with her, right? And now that he sees her abuse and doesn't want to be with her anymore she is a "bad cliche" to him... and it's spoken with bitterness, like she doesn't deserve to be labeled like that.
