Grand Rapids Isn't That Grand - Corey Potchynok Original

Lyrics:
And I spent four years with you by myself
In the shadow that you cast just by being yourself
and I learned about envy, and pride, and charm
and I watched you grow up right out of my arms
I wished on the stars and prayed real hard
I didn't get a single answer, and I have new scars
The heart is a muscle and mine is torn
But so is my tongue and it never gets tired or worn
If he lays you down tonight
I hope that he's okay with being second place
Cause I could tell by your sounds, by your twisted face
that between me and him its not even a race
do you remember those nights when I made you quake
and you promised forever, forever is fake
I'm no longer the boy you take home to your folks
I'm the one to which you wish you never had spoke

And I'm probably somewhere halfway across this shitty town
drinking a brew, not thinking of you, and wearing my favorite frown,
Your heart breaker crown
and right now you should be hoping, that what goes around
doesn't ever come back around

You were an accident, and we were a mistake
and the irony is almost too much for me to take
we can both tell lies, but not as good as you
every time you said I l o v e love you
But love isnt real as you clearly have shown
why bother when one day we'll both die alone
I'm not being pessimistic I'm just being realistic
and your optimism will be your biggest critic
I was tired of your family they hated me too
no matter what I wasnt good enough for you
and I guess you agreed so you set me free
now you're with another loser who is just like me
but I hope that you keep him around
and I hope that he keeps you down
its the reason I get out of bed
fuck up my smile and fuck up my head

But this is the song that youll only listen to once
and I hope its enough for you to understand
that theres no way in hell that we can ever be friends
this is the song that you wont show the others
you said youd love me till death
so I guess to you I'm dead

And I'm probably somewhere halfway
I'm probably somewhere halfway
drinking a brew and thinking of you
and wearing my favorite frown
your heart breaker crown
your heart breaker crown
your heart breaker crown
and right now you should be hoping
that what goes around doesn't ever come back around.

[Valuum]

sounds like a sufjan steven's song (Flint (For the Unemployed and Underpaid), 12. They Also Mourn Who Do Not Wear Black (For the Homeless in Muskegon), 4. Say Yes! to M!ch!gan!) with the michigan reference, and I actually thought it was a cover until i heard it. Very good though!
