The Option

Girl, sure didn't you know that I know

There's no secret to hold

You've been runnin' with another dude

'Cause when I come home, I do know the smell

Of pillows is in the same Cologne I use

Boy, isn't it awesome

Always bein' the option

Being the last one that she runs to

And I know that you worry

I was bein' the nerd

And never knew it was convenient for you

But you gotta keep hope even though you don't know

What the future might bring to you

Boy, isn't it awesome

There ain't no need for a wellness check

It's been five days since I left my bed

'Cause I'd be better here than with her instead

Of lettin' her play little games with my head

I'd rather be gone, I'd rather be dead

Six feet in the ground than in this mess

I think I'd be happier instead

Boy, isn't it awesome

Always bein' the option

Being the last one that she runs to

And I know that you worry

I was bein' the nerd

And never knew it was convenient for you

But you gotta keep hope even though you don't know

What the future might bring to you

Boy, isn't it awesome

If I don't drink and go early to rest

I still feel like shit the next day and stress

So I might as well drink myself to bed

The moment I begin to forget

You come back around and you ruin it

How many goddamn times will I say yes?

You were the woman who made me feel like the best

Now when I hear your fuckin' name I need a cigarette

I'd be better if you showed no new tricks

Boy, isn't it awesome

Always bein' the option

Being the last one that she runs to

But you gotta keep hope even though you don't know

What this fucked up world might bring to you

Boy, isn't it awesome

Boy, isn't it awesome

Always bein' the option
