Everybody says I worry too much, well maybe you're just not scared enough It's not like I enjoy being a sad mess, I'm just the right amount of depressed The ones underground who never find fame, but are too good of artists to whore out their name held back by the rich and die in debt, but are way too proud of a hipster to say it I don't give a damn it's not who I am you washed up faker thieves reap whatever you can sell your stupid self, you're a million dollar pawn when did being yourself become so wrong well I don't really know what I'm bitching about, if it's not a fight it doesn't count we need a struggle, we're artist, we're troubled, if you need to be paid and pampered and someone to powder your ass, then you're not giving anything to music, you're not worth the shit
2.
could you really forgive me, before you forget me I can't help but miss you, even when I don't want to you think your thoughts all so unique, well it's nothing new to me you're nothing like I've ever seen, you still listen too much to what they think but I'm not scared, I'm too aware cause I'm a goddamn man, and I hate that I am I can't escape what I do, I just keep lying to you you know I'm better than this, please excuse natures grip just because it happened before, wont make loving me a chore you're stuck with the family that you're born into and friends are the only ones who can betray you so your secrets aren't lies until you tell someone once I'm dead you can say your disappointment will be done you can say what you think is cool, I'm not writing a song for you not even about you, I only write because of you you're dumb if you think it's cute, your vengeance paid but never proved I'm nothing like your fucking attitude make all the money you want I'll stick to my noises I write every hit sitting on the toilet I'm probably going nowhere but you're going backwards you think you're high and mighty but you're lower than the self loathing bastards love is never fairytale, or wrote down in a book I tried breaking that rule for you but you wouldn't even if you could
3.
I'm safe in my room until I look out the sand and the sea are all upsidedown if I could just make it out too the waves then I'd be safe, I'd never have to breath tears under a palm tree we can just sleep on the beach I hate the dirt but I love the sand my fingers never mattered until they held your hand I'd sing myself to death if it would settle your strife I doubt I'll make us rich but I'll sure as hell try tears under a palm tree with eyes saltier than the sea you'll know where to find me we can just sleep on the beach I know growing up is scary enough and I was never good at acting tough but I swear I'll keep you safe no matter the price I'll do my best to do my best for the rest of our lives
4.
it's been quite a while since then I never thought that I'd see you again what keeps bringing you back, was it something she said what keeps bringing you back, and why can't I kill it what the hell makes you think we are friends you've come just to trip up my head I'm not slaving to some alter ego no I can't now that I've got it gold what keeps bringing you back, was it something she said what keeps bringing you back, and why can't I kill it
5.
stuck across the room in a corduroy chair every single friend is giving me the death glare maybe it's just the drugs finally setting in or that's what I told myself when I saw you leave with him I can't defend or defeat the fear I've achieved I can only thank you for giving it to me I can pick my strengths but you decide my weakness I guess I chose to hate when he's who you chose to sleep with you never broke a promise, you just abandon them I'll never be as honest as you are in your head I never got so close to being proud of what I do but maybe I'll crash and burn and finally find something I love more than you but I didn't and I wont I'll admit it you're a joke you let me fall for someone you're not and then just lie more when you get caught I thought I loved who I thought you were but the real you was never her I am the worst kind of person I am the worst kind of person I cant say whats on my mind cause all I know, it's not right I am the worst kind of person I am the worst kind of person it's not love but I'm in something it's not love but I'm stuck in something
6.
This aint over, this aint the end but self medication can help me pretend songs about love are almost as real as the imaginary nutrition on your happy meal don't give me another chance I can't rid myself of this unlucky hand and I doubt I will any time soon so don't get comfortable understanding what losers do confuses me, I was never trying to give up and I know neither were you but you're too damn close and I'm too fucking rude can I come over it's too late can we get back together it's too late can I hold back my tears open flood gate don't say what I think you're guna say it's too late don't give me another chance I can't rid myself of this unlucky hand and I doubt I will any time soon cause you're too close and I'm too fucking rude
7.
I wish I could say sorry, but I can't, I just can't too self loathing to be numb, too regretful to forget you don't feel like Cinderella, and I'm no fucking prince I guess I'll go and slit my wrist, die in love, and die in shame and in a novel plot twist, the cut will be in thy name I wish I could say sorry, but I can't, I just can't it's all my fault that it's your fault it's all my fault that it's your fault and I'm your only fault and I'm your only fucking fault I am so melodramatic I wish I could say sorry, but I can't, I just can't
8.
just like the words I carved into the sand we became washed away by the sea waves pounding creates our terrain after time separates more than just you from me you left along with everything else I'm not even good enough for myself It's a mess that I've made of this life so I wonder how you spend your nights and with a lack of passion just leave me out to dry and if you lack the attachments I'll go wait by the wayside (pour xanax and alcohol down my throat trying to cover up the fact I'm alone get so fucking high I feel like a float brought down to time square as a showcase of what not to be) how original I think I am putting ideas on a page with a lie as beautiful as yourself I'll push it all on stage
9.
you Killed it, my ego, it's all I cared about and I, I'll just spout random rhetoric regardless of rhyme or posture oh what an impostor I am I write these lyrics in stupid prose drunk as fuck and ignoring the bros tell myself, quit drinking, quit smoking slovenly courting you at 3:43 in the morning but in reality I wont fucking change I'll pretend that the front porch is just a stage of romance beginning and failing because it's me and it's always my fault
10.
I'd rather be lonely than fake I learn better when I burn from my mistakes I can erase what was seen as if every cut was clean but what does it matter now I know you'll never trust me I could turn it all around but you're just guna have to believe me you said you're going to bed before twelve I ask if we can stay up and talk next thing I know I'm talking to myself writing the second verse to this song but what does it matter now I know you'll never trust me I could turn it all around but you're just guna have to believe me what does it matter now, what does it matter now I can turn it all around but you're just guna have to believe me
