Bizarre Affection lyrics

[Verse 1]
I got your ornament
Thanks again I guess
I didn’t forget
Just wasn’t sure what to say

I miss you too and all
It’s nothing personal
Can’t keep traditions
From a distance anymore

[Chorus 1]
I've tried to forget about that night in Connecticut
When I laid on the ground and begged for an answer
I think I get it now
God damn, I was panicked/off base
There couldn’t be anyone else until there was you

[Verse 2]
Remember when we walked
Back home last Halloween
Thought we were fighting
Turns out we were just upset

Not with each other but
Mad at the circ*mstance
Not enough weekend to get back what we gave away
[Chorus 2]
I still can't forget about that night on the lower east
When I cried at the bar while you gave me your answer
I think I get it now
God damn, I was selfish
There can’t be anyone else until there’s no you

[Bridge]
Try to find the common threads
Pull them out tie off the ends
Patch the holes as best I can
A little less of who I’ve been

[Chorus 3]
But I won’t forget about that night in Sennott Park
When you said you’re in love with me and that’s why it’s over
I see it clearly now
God damn, I’m avoidant (some things never change)
I wish I’d been anyone else when I was with you

[Outro]
I can remember now how bizarre affection felt
When I couldn’t normalize forgiving myself
The next time around (if I get one)
God damn, I’ll do better (late than never)
I can’t be anyone else, so why pretend to
Look back on the person I was as if anything's improved
I keep asking for help getting out when the only way is through
Maybe once nobody’s left that’ll solve the issue
