Grilled Cheese Lyrics

The school is a circus and no one deserves it

He said she's attractive, you know with a purpose

But how can you love me, they're so many layers

I'm feeling so sick now, I'll just text you later

The grilled cheese she came with was made by her mother

Wrapped in a brown bag and slathered in butter

Tell me your story, she said no it's boring

I'll save it for marriage then wait till the morning and

Oh, say again

Why the day goes so much faster on the way to class and

Slows down again

When giving her affection gets you not attention

Cuz, she knows

That a funny little fling just wouldn't mean a thing

At all

The house it was empty, her mom would come home

With food in an hour as she stares at her phone

Are you free tomorrow, she wants to say no

He feels so excited, or nervous, or so

While driving to dinner time speeds up again

With questions from flashcards and jokes about friends

Her smile was real, and she tried to pretend

The feeling would stay after the evening's end and

Oh whatcha gonna do when a lie's more convenient than the truth

Oh and it's so much fun, convincing yourself that you found the one

She sat still in silence, her stomach felt empty

He opened his mouth, minutes felt just like centuries

Why are you so guarded, you can't even tell me

She stands up and walks out, turns into a memory and

Oh, in the end

People block out names to help them hide the pain

And show to their friends

They can hide disdain and let the memories fade

Till they don't know

If the past was ever real or if they even feel

At all
