As with every other band/artist related subreddit, I’m sure this has been posted before but anyways: what are your misheard lyrics from the band?
Mine personally is from Knocking At The Sky. I heard “I want my MTV/my grass and my matinee” instead of “valet” for a while:
I’m sorry for everything. I know you always said anyone who cut you off was dead to you but I didn’t mean it. I want to fix this so fucking bad. I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m so fucking sorry. I’d give anything to bring you back. Fuck everything else, fuck everyone else. I miss you like crazy. I’d take it all back if I could. Please come back. Please give me one last chance.
I miss you, like more than I’ve ever missed anybody in my entire life. I’m sorry I cut you off but you were gonna do it to me first and as soon as that text said “delivered” I realized you were bullshitting and just threatening me to make me beg for you to stay.
Nine days, I waited nine fucking days. How impatient is that? I was hoping you’d give me some kind of response, telling me to fuck off once and for all or that we’d talk later, but I got silence. I felt like you were holding a gun to my head. The silence drove me insane, that’s why I did what I did. I’m a coward, I should’ve taken it, should’ve waited, should’ve put up with it. I deserved it in a way. I had been waiting for you for so long before, I could’ve kept it up.
Truthfully I wasn’t in a state of mind to make that decision. My life is a mess and it’s not your fault, I have no one to blame but myself. I wish I hadn’t done it, I wish I had just waited. But I had this fear that you’d move on, you’d forget me and you’d never come back anyway. I did it to preserve any molecule of dignity I had left. I shouldn’t have, I should’ve let you be the one to leave or maybe things would’ve worked out and you would’ve forgiven me.
You always said anyone who cut you off is dead to you so I guess I’m dead to you. I wish I could say the same, I wish you were dead to me. I told you I never loved you but that was a lie. I did, I loved you more than anything and that was the problem. I loved you as a person. Fuck the eyeshadow and the badass femme fatale image. I loved you for you no matter how badly I denied it. No matter how much I told you I only loved the “idea of you”. I wish you would’ve told me everything that bothered you when it was going on, I wish you hadn’t bottled it up and used it against me in the end. I’d rather have heard it then than lose you now. I did the one thing I always said I never would: I left you.
I keep praying that you’ll come back but I know you’re too stubborn to, and again, I know you take getting cut off very seriously so why would you? I was obsessed with you, I loved you so much, it was unhealthy, I did it for both of us and you didn’t want me anyway.
I’m going to go to therapy, I’m gonna improve. I keep telling myself it’s for myself but I’d be doing it for you if I could. The days go on and on and I don’t feel anything. I’m waiting for something that’ll never happen. I gave you everything and you still didn’t want me. I would’ve done anything for you, except waiting apparently. I can’t sleep through the night, I wake up in panic attacks. I feel like I lost a part of myself. I’m going to text you in January if I haven’t gotten over you and I hope I’m not blocked. I fucked up so bad, I just want you to forgive me one last time. I’d do anything for it.
