LYRICS

I was gonna say something
That would solve all our problems
But then I got drunk
And I forgot what I was talking about
I forgot what I was talking about
Don’t you know that there’s nothing more cruel
Than to be loved by everybody
There’s nothing more cruel
Than to be loved by everybody
But you

If I can get my shit together
I’m gonna run away
And never see any of you again
Never see any of you again

I hope the roof flies off
And i get blown out into space
I always make such expensive mistakes
I know it’s just a number
But to me you’re the 8th wonder
I’ll stop wearing black when they make a darker color

Woke up on the wrong side of the paradise
So when I say I’m sorry I’m late
I wasn’t showing up at all
I really mean I didn’t plan on showing up at all
Don’t you know I hate all my friends
and I miss the days when I pretended
I hate all my friends
I miss the days when I pretended
With you
I miss the days when I pretended
With you

If we hadn’t done this thing
I think I’d be a medicine man
So I could get high on my own supply
Whenever I can
I became such a strange shape
Such a strange shape
From trying to fit in
I became such a strange shape
Such a strange shape
