You can't possibly know how you made me feel
It's like you've got revenge for every careless flirt

And you thought I was fine
You must've thought I was strong
I rest in that
But I proved I wasn't time and time again
I crumbled when I knew that you could
I am more than graham cracker crust there is crisco in me
I crumble with some force
when you are truly done with loving me
But you never feel me crumbling
you only feel the slice
And I thought I carelessly flirted
But only before I carefully flirted
Every waking moment for four months
I thought you knew me better
You can't possibly know how you made me feel
If you did
You wouldn't need to dig into my brain
You wouldn't be able to bear this day or the week I tried to explain to you and distract me from
But this is my penance
For every careless flirt I flirted with a straight girl
