Seven years tonight
That you left and broke my heart
That you didn't have the guts
For someone who could love this hard
Falling for the wrong ones
Must be what I do best
It's been 7 years tonight
That this weight is on my chest
Of course I was too much
Girls like me always are
Of course I was your burden
And you were my superstar
I know It's not all you
I know that I can switch
From being the nicest gall
To a mean son of a bitch
Seven years I've been swimming
Yet I can't find no shore
My body is tired and naked
My soul feels completely sore
So, fuck you ! I'm not over it
That's the reason I sing this song
about how you were a bastard
and all the ways you did me wrong
Of course I was too much
Girls like me always are
Of course I was your burden
And you were my superstar
It's fucked up, isn't it ?
I just can't forget you
So I write a song about it
And dive way down in the blue
All this time I've spent alone
With the hope I'll see you, Johnny
Ending up on the kitchen floor
Double teamed by Ben & Jerry
Of course I was too much
Girls like me always are
Of course I was your burden
And you were my superstar
