A late-night confession over convenience store regrets and the small compromises that define us.
[Verse 1] Bought the wrong cola at the Shell on Fifth You hate the aftertaste but I was broke and tired Three weeks later you're still bringing it up Like aspartame could summarize everything I can't fix [Chorus] It's never really about the soda It's the pattern underneath How I settle for close enough When you deserve the real thing [Verse 2] Your disappointed face in fluorescent light Cashier counting change while we both knew This moment would replay at 3 AM When textbooks blur and I remember you [Bridge] Generic brands and half-hearted tries Store-bought sorry in a plastic bottle But some mistakes taste bitter for months Even after you say it's fine [Chorus] It's never really about the soda It's the pattern underneath How I settle for close enough When you deserve the real thing
