How You Remind Me
© 2002 Shelly
Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing
Tired of living like a blind man
I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling
And this is how you remind me

"It's not like I didn't know what was going on," Hunter slurred to the bartender. "I mean....she only married me to piss off daddy. I should have known better, but ya know.....I dunno....."

It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
For handing you
A heart worth breaking
I've been wrong
I've been down
Into the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
Scream are we having fun yet?

"I was just waiting for the joys of marriage to start up....ya know? I mean....I thought that once all the hype died down we'd have fun, but.......well......all we ever did was argue." He picked up his beer and drained the mug.

It's not like you didn't know that
I said I love you and I swear I still do
And it must have been so bad
'Cause living with him must have
Damn near killed you

"It's not like she didn't know how I felt," he continued after a moment of silence. "I loved her. I truly did.....and she....." He sighed. "I guess living with me was a living hell for her."

And this is how you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am

"Guess I'll never be worthy enough for the Billion Dollar Princess," he slurred as he ran his finger over the rim of his glass. "All I'll ever be to her is some dumb jock....a wrestler....the worst thing she could ever be married to."
