Jessica Tells Me Lyrics

My ex came and said Amy babe

Come on back to my place

I looked at the bar and saw how far

Ten pound won't get me

So I said yeah, God bless I guess

At least it's somewhere safe

A bed, a place to lay my head

Where the only price is sex

This routine would come to gleam

An inward revelation

Is my worth on this green earth

Weighed with the cost of oblivion

Am I selling myself short or

Am I getting a good deal

If I don't care about myself

Then does it matter how I feel

Because Jessica tells me that I could be more

When it's 3am and I'm crying at her door

But she doesn't know a goddamn thing

No she doesn't know a goddamn thing about me anymore

Eleven AM I'm late again

My life, a dissertation

Headed for firsts if I could reimburse

The drugs with dedication

But I'm spinning out, I'm tripping on

The culture of currency

Of learning to survive and trade

On comfort, momentarily

Because Jessica tells me that I could be more

When it's 3am and I'm crying at her door

But she doesn't know a goddamn thing

No she doesn't know a goddamn thing about me anymore

Because you can't be better

If it's the only version of you that you've seen

No you can't be better

If there's nothing left of you to be

Well Jessica tells me that I could be more

She's said it for years but it's never worked before

Saying it over and over must be exhausting

I don't know why she tries when there's nothing

To love about me anymore
