Grand Scheme of Progression by The Mellowells Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My friend's in love but he can't help it
It's uncontrollable
I talk to him regarding the person
He's helpless [?] patience derived
But I'm much more helpless
I can't give advice to either side
I'm just dust under the carpet
I am hiding out
Hope they forget that I'm alive

[Chorus]
Of all of the things that torment us
This breaks us the most
If love gets us down
Why aren't we head over heels all of the time
It's a series of unfortunate events
Like the books I once read
I've watched one too many sad movies
Now I don't give a shit
[Verse 2]
I'm the middle-man
And my heart goes out to
Whoever gets hurt in the end
Maybe they'll be just fine
And no one will feel obligated to cry
And I know what it feels like
To hate what your life has amounted to
And I hope that he will realize
It's a little digression in the grand scheme of progression

[Chorus]
And of all of the things that torment us
This breaks us the most
If love gets us down
Why aren't we head over heels all of the time
It's a series of unfortunate events
Like the books I once read
I've watched one too many sad movies
Now I don't give a shit

[Outro]
I'm the middle-man
And my heart goes out to
Whoever gets hurt in the end
