Choir Song (I Feel Dumb) Lyrics by Charlie Hickey
I wanted you so bad I couldn’t look you in the eye
Took me in the bathroom stall
I broke my phone screen on the tile
It felt poetic
You regretted it, you’re right
I made an Irish exit
Never been good at goodbyes
Now I feel dumb
I look stupid in front of everyone
Preaching, teaching the choir a song
You wouldn’t tell me to shut up
But I think that’s what you want
Tried to take my mind off it
Counted things that I could see
The dresser and the bed, all the books I didn’t read
I called you to say sorry and you just said, “What for?”
I said, “Never mind, I won’t say anything more”
Now I feel dumb
Spent that summer ignoring everyone
Couldn’t bring myself to get that cracked screen fixed
So when you sent me your love, I only got half of it
Tonight’s your farewell party
Everybody’s gonna cry
Don’t like sentimental shit
Didn’t even go inside
Kinda freaked out on the way home
Left some paint on the divide
What the fuck did you expect?
I’ve never been good at goodbyes
It’s alright
Fucked up my car but everyone was fine
Mostly, I just feel dumb
I look stupid in front of everyone
I feel dumb
I feel dumb
