For reference (listening to the song while reading this may help):
Without further ado, I now present to you: Confessions, Part 34.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Watch this
(Chorus)
These are my confessions
Just when I think Félix could have a good day
My king of the mound goes and gives five runs away
These are my confessions
When he throws, man, I don’t feel like I used to
I guess he’s gotta do more work in bullpen sessions
Woke my roommate up when I was yelling down the hall
“Feels real bad ev’ry time Félix takes the ball!”
I’m so torn, don’t want to hate 3-4 in blue
But his year is leading me to these confessions
******************************************************************************
(Verse 1)
Now this gon’ be the hardest thing I think I ever had to do
Got me dissin’ on the man who wears his hat slightly askew
Remember ’14? Every start Félix was feelin’ it, feelin’ it
Now it’s four years later and he’s losing it
First inning he gives up runs, we lose
Second inning I’m getting real sad, where is the booze?
Third inning’s me wishin’ that he’ll figure out what he did
But then they slap the ball around and say bye bye to his dominance
******************************************************************************
(Chorus)
These are my confessions
Just when I think Félix could have a good day
My king of the mound goes and gives five runs away
These are my confessions
When he throws, man, I don’t feel like I used to
I guess he’s gotta do more work in bullpen sessions
Woke my roommate up when I was yelling down the hall
“Feels real bad ev’ry time Félix takes the ball!”
I’m so torn, don’t want to hate 3-4 in blue
But his year is leading me to these confessions
******************************************************************************
(sexy Usher falsetto voice)
Divish’s news from Tuesday got me thinking back
When, where, and how did the righthander hurt his back?
DL stints aren’t easy
But he needs to start painting, pitch locating
Find his stuff and miss some bats with it (bats with it)
I’m lying to myself
Keep saying that he’s great
Checking his old film to put my mind in a good place
I OPEN UP FANGRAPHS AND WHAT I SEE DOES NOT PLEASE ME!
I said, “Please gain some velo! Please baby!”
******************************************************************************
(Chorus)
These are my confessions
Just when I think Félix could have a good day
My king of the mound goes and gives five runs away
These are my confessions
When he throws, man, I don’t feel like I used to
I guess he’s gotta do more work in bullpen sessions
Woke my roommate up when I was yelling down the hall
“Feels real bad ev’ry time Félix takes the ball!”
I’m so torn, don’t want to hate 3-4 in blue
But his year is leading me to these confessions
******************************************************************************
(sad, conversational Usher voice)
This by far is the hardest thing I think I’ve ever had do to
To tell you, the pitcher I stan
That I’m thinking you might be a little washed now
I hope you can accept the fact that I’m fan enough to tell you this
And hopefully you won’t hold it against me
This ain’t about your career
This ain’t about just this year
It’s about us
Please
******************************************************************************
(Chorus)
These are my confessions
Just when I think Félix could have a good day
My king of the mound goes and gives five runs away
These are my confessions
When he throws, man, I don’t feel like I used to
I guess he’s gotta do more work in bullpen sessions
Woke my roommate up when I was yelling down the hall
“Feels real bad ev’ry time Félix takes the ball!”
I’m so torn, don’t want to hate 3-4 in blue
But his year is leading me to these confessions
