The Lyrics

"If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with. That's clever...and kind of awful." - Todd in the Shadows
As advice, it seems screwed
Bein' told to settle with whoever you
Have been stuck with sounds not great
Don't try to spin it in a feel-good way

Well, I don't know why this phrase gets dumped
Out because I feel really glum
So if I can't be with the one I love, I should
"Love the one I'm with"?
"Love the one I'm with"?
"Love the one I'm with"?
"Love the one I'm with"?

Yes, I'm angry, 'cause you're crap
You claim you're tryin', but you're real bad at that
Your "good words" can be construed
To mean "ignore all the bad things they do"

You take my hope and then leave it stomped
Shouldn't be surprised I'm pissed off
So if I can't be with the one I love, I should
"Love the one I'm with"?
"Love the one I'm with"?
"Love the one I'm with"?

Do-do, do, do, do, do, do-do
Do-do, do, do, do, do, do-do
Do-do, do, do, do, do, do-do
Do-do-do, do-do-do

Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
"Love the one I'm with"?
"Love the one I'm with"?
"Love the one I'm with"?
"Love the one I'm with"?

Just a bandaid upon my soul
You're a jerk, a big asshole
I won't feel better if I lie
To myself with your bullshit advice

You didn't know about who I love?
Well, learn first next time, don't just dump
Out the same old twee crap, it really sucks, I can't
Love the one I'm with
Love the one I'm with
Love the one I'm with
Love the one I'm with

Do-do, do, do, do, do, do-do
Do-do, do, do, do, do, do-do
Do-do, do, do, do, do, do-do
Do-do-do, do-do-do

Bop bah, this is the sound of settling
Bop bah, bop bah (bop bah)
Bop bah (bop bah), this is the sound of settling
Bop bah, bop bah (bop bah)
