[Verse 1]
I see you in my dreams, you love me so obscene
But you're way too good for me, that's why we couldn't be
Life can be so cruel, I'm just another fool
For thinking I could keep a love that once was deep
But now you're with that guy, the douche bag and his son
The feeling you can fly and you're having so much fun
The way you used to feel, was it ever real?
When you split your family, your actions helped me see

[Refrain]
That I can't stand myself, I'm sorry I put you on a shelf
I can't stand you with anyone else, I can't stand myself

[Verse 2]
I don't mean to throw a stone, but can you be alone?
And I will make a bet, you're always someone's pet
You think that you're so strong, I wouldn't say you're wrong
But emotions run your life until your someone's wife
But sweetheart, don't you know? I'd never let you go
I know that you don't care, you'll make an ugly pair
With that dope boy that pretends, and all your happy friends
You'll enjoy the place you're at till you're unhappy once again

[Refrain]
And I can't stand myself, I'm sorry I put you on a shelf
I can't stand you with anyone else, I can't stand myself
I just can't stand myself and I can't stand myself
[Verse 3]
See I couldn't see what was wrong with me
We saw things differently, the way it had to be
I made you feel so small so I could have it all
The hurt, it crushed your heart, and tore our love apart
But did you really think that I would never change?
I just had to sink and start to rearrange, if you could only take me back
And give me one more dance, our love would never lack
But you're not taking the chance

[Refrain]
And I can't stand myself, I'm sorry I put you on a shelf
I can't stand you with anyone else, I can't stand myself

[Outro]
And I can't stand myself, I'm sorry I put you on a shelf
I can't stand you with anyone else, I can't stand myself
I just can't stand myself and I can't stand myself
