Your eyes are all wet now
You know that I'm lying
I swear I was only protecting your heart
But there are some reasons
And also some pictures
Which if you saw they would rip you apart
And I won't watch you cry
Goodbye…
I'm an asshole
I'm almost a tall guy
And fairly good looking
So people they trust me but sometimes they're wrong
I have often wondered
Which one was the taller
My old Alexander or Kubla Khan
And would they watch you cry
Goodbye, I'm an asshole
I was a pig
And never no good
Now you can see through the streams in your eyes
every nickel is wood
Your lines are all fading
Your model's all last year
I am still a young man and I need a new car
Your friends will all hate me
But I know I'm smarter
I'm in love with a fan and she thinks I'm a star
And she will never
So I won't ever
I won't watch you cry
Goodbye
I won't watch you cry
Goodbye, I'm an asshole.
It's weird. I almost want to feel sorry for this guy who admits that he is an asshole to women. I guess that this song is full of regret. He's knows how manipulative and how much of a coward he is...and hates those traits about himself. Instead of changing for the better, he chooses to surround himself with people who only admire him on a very superficial level. Relationships without substance. A life without substance.
