[Verse 1]
You don't realize it's the end, the truth you know you'll try to bend
'Cause losin' love is hard, especially when that love's a friend
Heart is racin', try to escape it
Take somethin' you love and blame it
Synonymous with what a mistake is
Now needle where this plate is
Till we try the, "You'll look fine"
But only tell yourselves do you feel the pain you try to hide
Try to call the other all the time; you get a dial tone
But the one who's on the other side was waitin' by the phone
You'll then say that you're fine alone; that's what you tell yourself
These people try to talk to you but you won't let 'em help
You tell 'em they don't understand, they never been through this
You tell 'em you're the only one that's had a love like this
And it feels like this for just about forever and a day
And finally you start to realize that you're all okay
Then you see I'm out with someone else and you can barely face it
Wanna take that person, replace 'em
Goin' through six degrees of separation

[Chorus]
First, you think the worst is a broken heart
What's gonna kill you is the second part
And the third, is when your world splits down the middle
And fourth, you're gonna think that you fixed yourself
Fifth, you see them out with someone else
And the sixth, is when you admit that you may have messed up a little
[Verse 2]
These girls that I fuck with, all these women I've had luck with
If they ask me for relationships, I tell 'em, "Nah, you ain't it"
I could try to love and fake it, since I's every girl's replacement
If I had a chance to relive June a year, you know I'd take it
Ain't it funny though, took for granted when you're close
And all the people that have impact in my life, you have the most
You made me crazy, made me sad
Made me happy, made me mad
But in the end, it's crazy that you made me who I am
Told me to go start recording before I saw my own potential
Show me that the truest love ain't physical, yeah, it's all mental
For now the love I have will all reside inside a pencil
Till I find a carbon copy girl of her, don't think I'll settle
I know that I would change, particle time is all to blame
No, it wouldn't be the same, but give me a day back in the day
Think that I fucked up, 'cause some days it's still hard to take it
I'm in the sixth degree of separation

[Chorus]
First, you think the worst is a broken heart
What's gonna kill you is the second part
And the third, is when your world splits down the middle
And fourth, you're gonna think that you fixed yourself
Fifth, you see them out with someone else
And the sixth, is when you admit that you may have messed up a little
[Outro]
No, no, there ain't no help, it's every man for himself
No, no, there ain't no help, it's every man for himself
No, no, there ain't no help, it's every man for himself
No, no, there ain't no help, it's every man for himself
