This one is about being down on your luck love wise, you think you have it all figured out but you really don't know shit. it's ok to not know shit and it's ok to admit you were wrong about that situation. I don't want to come off as "oh poor pitiful me i screwed it all up once again" cuz it's not really a matter of screwing things up when it was never going to work out to begin with. Some things are just not meant to be. It's more about accepting who you are and who other people are and hopefully learning and growing from the times that didn't end in your favour.
lyrics
Down in the dirt
Bottom of the heap
All for a girl who never wanted me
And I thought she loved me I thought she loved me
Well I was wrong
I was wrong
I was wrong again
First time we met
You thought I was cool
Now i’m the biggest loser in the school
And I thought you loved me I thought you loved me
Well I was wrong
I was wrong
I was wrong again
And if I told you I still loved you
Would you care oh would you care
I lost all confidence an hour ago
Don’t let me go
Cry like a man
If you think you can
You’ll find you’re holding laughter in your hand
And I thought you saw me I thought you saw me
Well I was wrong
I was wrong
I seem to be wrong every time
And if I told you I still loved you
Would you care oh would you care
I lost all confidence an hour ago
Don’t let me go
I miss my baby miss my best friend
Feel like a traveller in a foreign land
Your love’s a language I don’t understand
No no no no no
Feel like a stranger in a foreign land
Your love’s a language that I cannot understand
I’ve seen it all
I swear you’re one I used to know no no no no
Tell me why I wanna cry
Like a man
if you think you can
You’ll find you’re holding laughter in your hand
And I thought I loved you I thought I loved you well
I guess I’m not wrong every time
