Tears Over Beers Lyrics
When I was just a boy, we'll call it 15 or so,
I found myself annoyed by a syndrome of sorts in my bones
That girl who's next to me, she found herself bored to tears
She realized that if she wanted conversation, she's out of luck for three more years
When I moved away from home, 100 miles or so,
I knew a change had grown inside my awkwardly long limbs and bones
That girl who's next to me, she's friendly and thoughtful and quite awfully pretty,
But all she has to say is a meat head-themed monologue on why Brad ran away
She said, "All I can hope for is for me to get better,
because all I can take is no more.
I'll win him back again, we'll be lovers, best friends.
He won't need no other woman like he did way back when he was with me.
He needed more than me
I'm friendly and thoughtful and quite awfully pretty,
But he needed more than me."
When I felt that I should leave, we'll call it midnight or so,
I found myself annoyed by a syndrome of sorts in her bones
That girl who's next to me, she don't know her worth in this town,
because her face starts to shine when that meat head behind me
Is grinning as he's checking her out
I said, "All I can hope for is for you to get better,
Because all I can take is no more.
I'll hide where I can, away from you and your friends,
leaking tears over beers once again."

This song’s lyrics really do confuse me. Quite honestly I believe this song could have many possible story outcomes, but here is what I think it could be about; the narrator sings about himself, feeling out of place. He tells the story of him moving away, and meeting a girl, who shares the similar problem of “not being enough” and feeling out of place. She explains to the narrator she’s “unworthy” as her past boyfriend left her. She continues to list her qualities but can’t find an explanation on why he could have possibly left her. We know this as she states “I’m friendly and thoughtful and quite awfully pretty, but he needed more than me” we see that the narrator falls for this girl and he sings “she don’t know her worth in this town”. We see that the validation from other men make her feel wanted, as it brings her joy when she gets checked out. By the end of the song we learn the narrator hope the girl gets “better” and realised her worth, as our narrator can no longer take it anymore. \nSo, overall I believe this song is about a man singing about a girl he’s fallen in love with, and has tried to show her she’s more than an object, but in the end he couldn’t watch her get hurt anymore
@mayandjuly way better than what i said lmao
@mayandjuly way better than what i said lmao
"The girl who's next to me (wait-right next to me- OH GOD)" my favorite part lmao though Im pretty sure this song changes povs between the girl and him, or is just him saying what she said/ thought. its I guess about him being in love with a girl who doesnt realize shes pretty and her ex who she loved was into other girls while with her with made her lose more confidence. She went to 'parties' and did the usually crying and drinking after a break up and he just watched from afar. I DUNNO SO DONT COME AFTER ME IF IM WRONG-
