Cover art for New Nail Bed lyrics by Big D and the Kids Table

Its him going over all the girls he went out with, and broke up with. But he didn't break up with this girl... "And I looked each one in the eye but it was never you" I looked each one in the eye meaning he looked each one in the eye and broke up with them, "but it was never you" meaning he didn't do that to her.
