lyrics

Please don’t rub it in ‘cuz the mess you made it almost killed my next-of-kin. Before you came around, Carthage wasn’t almost burning down. Please don’t be so mean; the mess you made, I made myself a drama queen. You never act your age. You’ll never change. It’s fine; I like you anyway. I met you on the thirteenth floor, an exile from the Trojan War. I met you on the thirteenth floor, exiled from the Trojan War. Thought you came to stay ‘cuz you looked so good and came from very far away and when we left the cave, I was hoping we could plan another escapade. It didn’t strike me then. I couldn’t comprehend it way back when, that once this war was over, you would leave and I would be alone again. You left me on the thirteenth floor. That’s why I don’t talk to you anymore. You left me on the thirteenth floor, exiled from the Trojan War. I can’t believe I let you in ‘cuz you made me the queen of Carthage again. I can’t believe I let you in ‘cuz you burned down the city of Carthage again. Thought you came to stay ‘cuz you looked so good and came from very far away and when we left the cave, I was hoping we could plan another escapade. It didn’t strike me then. No, I couldn’t comprehend it way back when, that once this war was over, you would leave and I would be alone again.
