I Traded You For Something Else

 

I Traded You For Something Else

 This is the next song in the fucked up relationship album; it deviates from the frame of this album just a teeny tiny bit because it's a song where you get the main character's discourse that she doesn't want her current (mean) boyfriend to hear, but it's not a chopped up version of a previous song. See, this song came to me in a dream this morning, and I felt like the song was askin' me to record it. So I did. It's about the girl's regrets about leaving her old boyfriend.

The lyrics are:

I traded you for something else, something else
I traded you for something else, something else

This is a song for my ex-boyfriend
I'm in the wrong for making things end
Many nights, I dream about you, and when I wake
I feel ever so gosh darn blue cuz of my mistake

I traded you for something else, something else
I traded you for something else, something else

I should not have done that
And I was so stupid, and I was so stupid
I should not have done that
And I am a poop-head

I'm feeling really sad, and I'm feeling stupid
At myself, I am mad cuz I am a poop-head
Why did I break up with the man who is actually nice?
Now, I am with one I can't stand - he's as cold as ice

To me, and I can see this was a big mistake
Compared to the new guy, you were so great
But I am in denial of my big mistake
My mind keeps telling me that the new guy is great

I traded you for someone else, someone else
I traded you for someone else, someone else

My new boyfriend is not
As nice as you, nice as you
I wish we did not break up
And there's nothing I can do

I traded you for someone new

I traded you for something new
