The Worst Thing (Whitey Jam) - Stars

I remember everything like it was yesterday

3:45, outside the school

My best friend turned to me to say

«You know the one you want?

Well I want her more

As of today all I can say is that she’s mine»

He touched me on the shoulder and then turned away

3:46, November 14th

Getting darker every day

I watched his bus pull to the curb

He turned to me once more

And called out, «No one likes a dreamer;

you’ll be fine»

It was the worst thing that ever happened to me

So I must smile

When I think about

It was the worst thing that ever happened to me

So tell me why I can’t be without it

The aftermath of math class, passing notes of pain

The empty hallway was a church

Where I could shed my tears again

I watched them kissing in the lunchroom with their lips

And realised my so-called food was going cold

For several weekends following, I walked alone

It was just me and Morrissey

I laid my momma to the phone

Then one day when she smiled at me

To fill me with false hope

It occurred to me that some day she’d grow old

It was the worst thing that ever happened to me

So I must smile

When I think about it

It was the first time I knew that being lonely made you free

And I guess that’s why I would not be without it

Remember me?

I never loved you 'cos you were a drag

A stupid boy much too prepared

To show me your white flag

So yeah I got a little older

I got wiser too

By 23, I had entirely forgotten both of you

I have forgotten both of you

I have forgotten both of you

Forgotten both of you
