Song Notes
Words I Might Have Ate was about Nina. She broke my heart. I was a shitty boyfriend. Hahahaha!
The "school grounds" was a school [we] hung out at and [smoked] weed and [made] out and stuff. Oh to be young...

Lyrics
Now it seems
I can't keep my mind above you
My brain drifts back to better days we've been through
Like sitting on blacktops of the school grounds
The love I bitched about, I finally had found
But now it's gone and I take the blame
But there's nothing I can do but take the pain
Why?
Now I dwell
On what you remind me of
A sweet young girl who sacrificed her love
As for me, I am blind without a cause
And now I realized what I have lost
It was something real
That I could've had
Now I play the fool whose stable soul's gone bad
Why?
Tell me what the words I might have said
That's pumping pressure deep inside my head
Was it bad enough to be too late
Just tell me the words I might have ate
The words I might have ate
The words I might have ate
But now it's gone
And I take the blame
But there's nothing I can do but take the pain
Why?
Why? Why?
Why? Oh why?
Why? Why?
