about

Written about chemo, then adjusted to make it about a failing relationship and a calloused heart, cause who wants to hear about chemo.

lyrics

It used to hurt but now it don't, it used to hurt but now it only just tickles, it just tickles. It used to hurt but now it don't, it used to hurt but now it only just tickles, it just tickles.

I was getting up to leave
when you hit the sativa and told me to stay.
And now you want me to believe
that you wasn't with Steve out just the other day.
And that your sad and mental,
and that you need your space,
and that my heavy metal
is the final straw that's been driving you away.

I was walking down the beach
when I made up the speech that I was gonna say
When I met you at Cassis
after being out of reach for a couple days.
But you never showed up
You never showed your face.
And you've been known to flake out
And I saw it coming a mile away

It used to hurt but now it don't, it used to hurt but now it only just tickles, it just tickles
It used to hurt but now it don't, it used to hurt but now it only just tickles, it just tickles.
