Mal Blum - The Jugular lyrics

I went to the bar and ran into your friends
They all pretended to care how I’ve been
I have been fine just for the record
Or at least I have been making an effort

And I had a problem but, you had an attitude
Nothing that I could say was
Good enough for you

I had the good sense to hide in my car
‘Cause when you get angry
You go for the jugular
I could have stayed there all night
I could have stayed there

And love felt like nothing
That I’d felt before
Like I’d been let out, like I’d been run over
And I was an animal i was a child
And maybe I felt nothing
But, you sure felt dignified

I could have stayed there all night
I could have stayed there

I kicked the habit and you kicked my ass
Tough love ain’t free but we sell it on tap
It’s a pretty good price
But, you’ll hate what you’re getting
Still, who wants to spend
Every night just forgetting
That I could have stayed there
I could have stayed there

And thank you for asking my jugular’s fine
But, I hate your friends
And they’re not even mine
And thanks for pretending
To be so damn helpful but fuck all you guys!
You were always such assholes to me!
And I could have stayed there
And I could have stayed there alone

I went to the bar and ran into your friends
They all just pretended to care how I’ve been
I don’t really know where I was before then
I don’t really know who I was before then
