about

A song about the futility of using someone to get over being used by someone else.

lyrics

You scratch the itch that's under my skin,
I'll scratch the skin that's under your clothes;
Spend a few hours in sentimental sin,
Leave in the night so nobody knows;

Girl we know we're tryin'
To treat this like a game,
We both know why we're cryin',
Though our reason's aren't the same;

You get the scraps, cuz she got the best of me,
You're just a victim, she's just a memory,
You take the high road, she'll take the rest of me;
I'll be your poison, you'll be my remedy,

You'll tell yourself you ain't gonna call
I'll take the call because we're both broken
You'll wonder if I feel this at all
I'm out the door before the thoughts spoken

Leave you cold and sleepless
'Cause I can't show you my shame,
Honey I know your secrets,
You just know my name;

You get the scraps, she got the best of me,
You're just a victim, she's just a memory,
You take the high road, she'll take the rest of me;
I'll be your poison, you'll be my remedy,

I come crawlin' back to you
Don't know how else to cope;
You think you're cryin' over losing love,
But I know you're cryin' over losing hope,

You'll try to break the spell that I cast,
Stand your ground, be a little bolder;
I'll do the best to learn from the past,
We'll give each other the old cold shoulder;

When December's blowin,
And we're running from the cold,
And when the whiskey's flowin,
We'll chase it with the same old, same old

You get the scraps, she got the best of me,
You're just a victim, she's just a memory,
You take the high road, she'll take the rest of me;
I'll be your poison, you'll be my remedy,
