Insignificant Other

from Keep Passing The Open Windows by The Pristines

lyrics

What did I do to finish last?
I said too much when he acted fast
Should I cut my throat to spite her face?
I hate my hair and I’m a disgrace.

There’s nothing worse than only friends
You know where that ends in the end
“I think of you just like a brother”
She may as well say “insignificant other”

I’m her insignificant other

And I can see me through her eyes
An unwanted consolation prize
It’s just another choice to choose
When I lost my beard I lost my muse.

Too good a friend for her to lose
For her to never want to choose
She says I’m just like a brother
I’m her insignificant other.

I’m her insignificant other

My hopes and dreams will never come true
But my worst case scenarios always do.
Our hopes and dreams may never pull through
Worst case scenarios always do.

When you’re an insignificant other
I’m her insignificant other
