Constant Headache

Constant Headache -- Joyce Manor

I could hear you coming
So I hid by the couch
You were talking so loudly
I don't know what about

But you were drunker than high school
Self-conscious and sweet
I never ever felt so cool
Disguised in your sheets

But I'm a constant headache
A tooth out of line
They try to make you regret it
You tell them, "No, not this time."

I'm just a constant headache
A dead pet device
You hang me up, unfinished
With the better part of me no longer mine


And then you finally found me
Pretending to sleep
You said such nice things about me
I felt guilty and cheap

You took two steps to the kitchen
And just stared at the sink
I couldn't hold back a smile
I still wish I could have seen

You having sex in the morning
Your love was foreign to me
It made me think maybe
Human's not such a bad thing to be

But I just laid there in protest
Entirely fucked
It's such a stubborn reminder
One perfect night's not enough

It's just a constant headache
A tooth out of line
They try to make you regret it
You tell them, "No, not this time"

It's just a constant headache
A dead pet device
You hang me up, unfinished
With the better part of me no longer mine
