I'm just surprised I'm still writing this. For everything I've done in my life that was fucked up, all the drugs I've bought, are the lies I've told, all the people I've heard, I'm still surprised I have friends that love me and care about me. I'm learning to care about myself too

I've always been somebody who wanted to run from my problems. I just put them on a back burner or shelf so to speak, and not deal with them at all. Then I started using drugs to deal with my problems because it helped me forget them, never mind putting them on a shelf. But once I started to face my problems, and get honest with myself about them, I could learn to cope with those issues that I didn't want to deal with.

This tune is about a bad relationship. I had finally had enough, and all I could do was say bye-bye. Yeah she cried a lot, crocodile tears was all they were. She didn't give much, but took everything from me. At the end it was just me giving it away, including my soul. I had to leave to save myself. I had never had a relationship like this before, and I know I will never have one again. I'm sure we all can relate to these types of situations. Hopefully they're just a one and done.

I've been out with a lot of cold women, but their hearts were like acid. They would pour their heart out to you, on you, and all that brought was pain. I should have known it from the start, and maybe I did, but didn't want to believe it. They took advantage of my kindness, and at times my weakness. These women, and Men are out there. Yes it's not only one-sided here, if you're a woman you'll probably be able to relate to this song. There are so many people who have an acid Heart.

A song venting about the frustrations of being friend-zoned and feeling like the present situation is one's own fault.
