The Bachelor Life

THE BACHELOR LIFE

My ex boyfriends got a boyfriend

My ex boyfriends found a man

My ex boyfriends got a boyfriend

Who hates me, though he’s never met me

At least that’s what I think

He’ll never be what I am

Or do what I can

My ex boyfriends got a boyfriend now

He got himself a man

I get it, I got it

Nope, I understand

My ex boyfriend went and got himself a man

So we move on

Simultaneously

we’ve each found someone new

And he’ll do all things he couldnt do

As for me

Whatsername and You-Know-Who

I was the chill chick you could kick with

And you made a big deal out of me

For a good minute

But you went back to the strip back to the chicks

With the fake tits that are just as big as mine

You could’ve had me the whole time

I was the real deal, head to toe, Inside out

And I’m furious like .. fuck you

But I still wonder where we could be, right now

And part of me would probably take you back

Somehow

My ex boyfriends got a boyfriend

My ex boyfriends found a man

He’ll never be what I am

Or do what I can

My ex boyfriends got a boyfriend now

He got himself a man

As for me

We were strangers headed to rush hour with an hour layover

Complaining about the wait

We bonded realizing we are around the same age

I only got your name off the plate on your necklace

Mckayla

We sat together on the arriving train

You told me about things in your life I had no idea about

Names and places and daily dilemmas and I related right back

You got off 3 stops before mine

When you departed a man and woman sat in the aisle next to ours

And it put me through deja vu because they’re both going through

What we just went through

Strangers at first who converse and relate

He was talking to her about how he likes to meditate

I found this strange

Especially when he told the woman how it was nice to meet and chat

Because life is no longer like that

My ex boyfriends got a boyfriend

My ex boyfriends found a man

He’ll never be what I am

Or do what I can

My ex boyfriends got a boyfriend now

He got himself a man

As for me

I’m sitting in the plaza one day

On top of the leveled wall

Enjoying the september weather

Checking some messages while waiting on a call

I adjusted my hair, then this man makes his way over

To me from way over there

I had caught him staring at me a few times

But tried not to look him in the eye

He sits right next to me

Thigh-to-thigh

And everyone around us is also a guy

Minding their own business, totally oblivious

Reading the paper, or scrolling their phones

And I just wanted to be left alone

Right across from my own home

My ex boyfriends got a boyfriend

My ex boyfriends found a man

My ex boyfriends got a boyfriend

Who hates me, though he’s never met me

At least that’s what I think

He’ll never be what I am

Or do what I can

My best friend got a boyfriend now

He got himself a man
