Cute without the E Lyrics


Your lipstick, his collar.. don't bother Angel
I know exactly what goes on

When everything you'll get is
everything that you've wanted, princess
(well which would you prefer)
My finger on the trigger, or
(me face down, down across your...

    this song is about a guy being cheated on. he starts talking about how he would rather kill himself then lose her so he is willing to pretend he dosnt know what she is doing as long as she won't bring it up because she is the only one he has ever fallen in love with. he knows she doesn't really care about him though.

    "Your lipstick, his collar.. don't bother Angel
    I know exactly what goes on "

    "well which would you prefer
    My finger on the trigger, or
    me face down, down across your floor"

    "And will you tell all your friends
    you've got your gun to my head "

    "I will never ask if you don't ever tell me
    I know you well enough to know you'll never love me "

    "Why can't I feel anything
    from anyone other than you?"

    "I stay wrecked and jealous for this,
    for this simple reason
    I just need to keep you in mind
    as something larger than life"

    this is about a couple. cheating comes into play. duh! I know you well enough to know you never loved me.. I feel wreckless....jealous for this.. I need to keep you in my mind... Something larger than life..

    the lyrics start with your lipstick.. His collar.. don't bother angel.. I know exactly what goes on..

    so its something that the girl has down to him

    I think this song is more about a guy who loves this girl who led him on. She probly wasnt dating him but she made it seem like she wanted to and then went with another guy. Think about it "this all was only wishful thinking" he's realizing that he really read into it more then he should have but no matter what he's still hooked on her which is where "you've got your gun to my head" comes from. Its also killing him to see her with the jerks she's with and knows she deserves better then how this guy treats her. He wants the best for her even though she treated him horrible

    This is about a guy cheating that's why the lyrics say he is covering, the guy that is cheating with the girl... Its like they got busted cheating.

    This is truly my favorite song. Hands down. I heard a sketchy mix of it years ago, then saw the video, and everything in it blends perfectly and beautifully, from the jumpy leading runs and solos, to the following bass, to the excellently exchange and harmonized vocals. Adam lazzara's voice commands attention, while John nolans voice rips into the song. The lyrics are sincere, true, and original, my favorite line being "the only thing that I regret, is that I never let you hold me back." good god that one close to home for me than just about nething.

    This song is so obsively about a girl who cheated on her boyfriend and then went around telling all of her friend that he cheated on her so they would hate him.

    "your lipstick, his collar, don't bother, angel, I know excactly what goes on"
    Hmmmm..... duh

    This song is about a girl cheating on a guy and she's trying to lie about it all.

    It's kinda obvious.
