[Verse 1] It was three years In the making You to guilt trip down Me to say babe That I′m sorry "I didn't know I had it when I had it so good" But you got no decency So you didn′t drive to me Didn't even call me Just sent me some shit out of the blue Didn't know I had it when I had it so good [Pre-Chorus] Well it′s a slow, slippery slope That leads me to the canyon with my mentally ill companion And I hope that he knows Who holds the keys to his tantrums Throw it in the ocean With that apology I wrote you for your own good Send it ′round the globe on the tides in a bottle of wine And I hope you've healed up by the time [Chorus] You move to Portland And overcome your Gemini importance High on smoking daily marijuana All of your roommates wanna harm ya Woah, oh-oh-oh I think it′s clear that you've fallen apart Since you left me on read that night in my car And I hope you find love, but it′s gonna be hard cause Your bones ain't loyal, and they don′t know who you are Woah, oh-oh [Verse 2] I see your skeleton shimmy in the corner of my room I ask him, "How has it been since she left you, too?" Well, rumor has it that you ran to the first man that would With you What happened to your independence that you did it for? [Pre-Chorus] Well it's a slow, slippery slope That leads me to realizing you ain't coming back no more And I hope that I know What my love is worth Throw it in the ocean With that apology I wrote you for your own good Send it ′round the globe on the tides in a bottle of wine And I hope you′ve healed up by the time [Chorus] You move to Portland And overcome your Gemini importance High on smoking daily marijuana All of your roommates wanna harm ya Woah, oh-oh-oh I think it's clear that you′ve fallen apart Since you left me on read that night in my car And I hope you find love, but it's gonna be hard cause Your bones ain′t loyal, and they don't know who you are [Bridge] Who are you? Even the stars can′t tell you anymore, anymore Who are you? Maybe the rocks you carry can open that door Who are you? Search every bottle on every beach shore 'Cause buried in the bottom of one is the love you're looking for [Pre-Chorus] I threw it in the ocean With that apology I wrote you for your own good Sent it 'round the globe on the tides in a bottle of wine And I hope you′ve healed up Oh it′s time [Chorus] To move to Portland And overcome your Gemini bullshit High on smoking daily marijuana All of your roommates wanna harm ya Woah, oh-oh-oh I think it's clear that you′ve fallen apart Since you left me on read that night in my car And I hope you find love, but it's gonna be hard cause Your bones ain′t loyal, oh woah, yeah your bones ain't loyal But your bones know that they had it so good
