[Verse 1]

I could hear you coming, so I hid by the couch

You were talking so loudly, I don't know what about

But you were drunker than high school, self-conscious and sweet

I never ever felt so cool disguised in your sheets


[Chorus]

But I'm a constant headache, a tooth out of line

They try to make you regret it

You tell 'em, "No, not this time."

I'm just a constant headache, a dead pet device

You hang me up unfinished

With the better part of me no longer mine


[Verse 2]

And then you finally found me, pretending to sleep

You said such nice things about me, I felt guilty and cheap

You took two steps to the kitchen and just stared at the sink

I couldn't hold back a smile, I still wish I could have seen

You having sex in the morning, your love was foreign to me

It made me think maybe human's not such a bad thing to be

But I just laid there in protest, entirely fucked

It's such a stubborn reminder one perfect night's not enough


[Chorus]

It's just a constant headache, a tooth out of line

They try to make you regret it

You tell 'em, "No, not this time."

It's just a constant headache, a dead pet device

You hang me up unfinished

With the better part of me no longer mine
