Heartbreak in Michaels
"Sorry, Charlie"
You said to me
In the middle of aisle 73
"The groundwork was shoddy, the groundwork fell through
"And I don't know if I can be with you"
And my heart broke like tiles upon the floor
But I knew that the glue was in 74
There's not enough gesso to cover the mess
So I guess I'll just head for the door
Before I left, I can't say why
A coupon for a fidget spinner caught my eye
And though they started humble, these thoughts
Helped me dispel the scumble bees
And I realized appeasing this ungrateful guy
Is silly since I could just DIY
If my heart is breaking, it's one step toward making
A mosaic kind of goodbye
And as I was checking out I slowly turned
[Scumbo:]
Grab yourself a goodbar, it's what you've earned
And I know that some go their lives without Scumbo
But if it needs doing, he'll help with the gluing
With my fidget spinner, I'll go to Outback for dinner
And think on the lessons I've learned
