I'm Serious, I'm Sorry Lyrics - We Cool? - Jeff Rosenstock

I didn't know that he got in a car crash 

We could have been friends, could have got married 

Could have had grandkids, sent them to college 

Or at least attended each other's weddings. 

I didn't know that you stayed home for hours 

Calling his parents asking for answers 

Skipping your prom night, crying and praying 

Up to a God that you never believed in. 

Meghan held your body 

While you were sobbing at the party 

And I couldn't leave the kitchen 

I ingested too much poison. 

I wanted to tell you I know how it feels when 

The people you love just start disappearing 

Ashamed that you took their presence for granted 

But I didn't want to seem condescending 

I didn't know that you'd relive the moment 

The doctor came out with a frown and a clipboard 

And you wandered home with no ride feeling stupid 

That you thought that this was a regular visit 

Meghan held your body 

While you were sobbing at the party 

And I couldn't help from staring 

And creating extra tension 

Watching Meghan hold your body 

While you were sobbing at the party 

And I couldn't leave the kitchen 

I ingested too much poison. 

Were you supposed to not go to college? 

Stay in your mom's house on the computer 

googling grief cures, talking to no one 

Waiting for life to start feeling better? 

Waiting for pain to not be a constant? 

Waiting to feel like anyone's honest? 

Waiting for me to stop being sarcastic 

Because I can't accept (because I can't accept) 

Because I can't accept all the bad things that happen. 

Oh, I swear I'm sorry 

That I saw you at the party 

That I stood there saying nothing 

While you wept before your new friends 

Oh, I'm serious, I'm sorry 

Oh, I'm serious, I'm sorry
