Singing along with the car radio,
\nIt seems like every song’s about you.
\nCeeLo forgot you (at least on the radio),
\nCarrie slashed your tires,
\nTaylor’s never getting back with you,
\nGloria’s surviving,
\nKelly can finally breathe,
\nBeyonce assures you’re replaceable,
\nGotye and Kimbra were cut off and screwed over,
\nand all fingers point at you.
\nSurely I am happier not knowing you at all.
\nTears, destruction, and malice are your souvenirs,
\nBroken hearts and Top 40 hits.
\nThe rest of the world seems to relate.
\nAlthough I know all the words,
\nI just haven’t met you yet.
\nPerhaps you’ve been slandered,
\nMade some mistakes,
\nThought that love was just an easy game to play,
\nStumbled and got lost in a convoluted relationship.
\nI wouldn’t know.
\nI think I would prefer to feel the heartbreak
\nThan be the only one who doesn’t understand
\nSo, take a little piece of my heart,
\nI need someone to share it with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
