You called to tell me that the milk went bad
And all i could say was i wasn't surprised to hear that
I promised i would call you right back
But i got distracted by thinking about how the milk went bad
Cause i never drink it fast enough
And the expiration date crept up
So i'll buy another gallon just to start all over
Cry right by the counter while the milk get older
And there's use crying over spoiled milk, i know
Cause i should've checked the date
Before i went and brought it home
And i swear that this one is different
Make a promise i can't keep
Maybe it's just me
I'll be next week
You called again last night and i didn't answer
Left a message that i never played or heard
Well i've been ignoring this for weeks on end
Cause i'm now well acquainted with self-sabotage
My new best friend
And i kinda like her, she makes things easy
Brings all the worst parts out of safekeeping
So i'll buy another gallon just to start all over
Cry right by the counter while the milk get older
And there's use crying over spoiled milk, i know
But i don't think it's about the milk at all, i really don't
And i've tried every metaphor
And convoluted figure of speech
Just to come up empty
I hope you don't resent me
And it's inevitable that we end in disaster
Cause i'll sit and watch as the milk goes sour
