All my friends drive pieces of sh*t, and I guess I’m becoming one of them. One of themAll my friends love pieces of sh*t, I guess I’m becoming one of them. One of themWe don’t really talk, but I really wish we did, cause I miss your text messages and everything you saidLike when will I grow up, and why don’t I give a f*ck about you or all your sh*tty friendsMaybe let’s get drunk, maybe let’s get high We can talk about whatever until you don’t want to dieI wanna be, I wanna be your mosh pit girlfriend X4We are the crystal gems, we’ll always save the day and even if we can’t, we’ll always find a way. With Mike and Dana by my side. We won’t be the only ones here crying tonightI wanna be, I wanna be your mosh pit girlfriend X4

I’ve never left the Midwest, So maybe that’s why I can cut myself to American football at nightIn the hopes that I’ll be fineI’m a monster X3 I’m a monster in your eyesI’m a monster X3 I’m a monster in disguise Let's meet at 8 o clock at the canal we can walk or talk or something But where are you nowits 10 o clock and I’ve been waiting in the cold my night is soaked and now this is getting oldI never see your face at any of my shows but you always say you’ll be there but that’s how this goesIts 10 o clock and I've been waiting way too long Hope your cat died or something again, f*ck!!Maybe you hate me. Maybe I’m clingy. Maybe I text you too much when you're out with your friends who are cooler than meMaybe it's my fault, maybe I’m wrong. Maybe I should’ve believed you when your cat died or whatever the f*ck that you sayI’m a monster

There’s something that’s been bothering me since I left for collegeI’m not homesick I haven’t been, maybe it's my lack of relationshipsWith my family they never call me, would hurt to check in once in a whileBut I know that there just busy, maybe I need this time to find myselfSo, I bleached my hair to prove a point. Do blondes really have more fun?It's so damn hard to live a lie when I’m always tired This ponds so big and I’m so small I think a caught a coldNow I’m so sick I never get sick, I just want to go homeHomesick more like sick of it, suck it up, move along, learn to live on your ownThere’s something I’ve been missing maybe it’s the lack of my family X2I’ve got no money for the bus ride home I guess I'll stay a little longer and write a new song X4Homesick more like sick of it, suck it up, move along, learn to live on your ownThere’s something I’ve been missing maybe it’s the lack of my family X4

I don’t know how to say this, but I hate your playlist and everything you makeI don’t know how to say this, but I want my sh*t back from your dorm roomI miss every single conversation that we had in bedI miss the nights that we weren’t so bored of living that we talk for hoursI guess I didn’t understand all the things you said that night. I guess I’m not that type of righteous type of person. Cry inside my bedroom missing you too much Its good to know I’m entirely humanI don’t know how to say this, but I hate your playlist and everything you makeI don’t know how to say this, but I want my sh*t back from your dorm roomAnd I hope one day we can realize that we're still friends. We can talk about the weather we can talk about whateverAnd I just want you to be happyBut it hurts to know, it hurts to knowBut that won’t be with meI hate being second place, but it's not my place to say anything, to say anything X2

The smell of strawberry has been replaced by cigarettes.I guess I’m only good for being f*cked or being leftAnd I will lay in bed all day trying to rewrite this painI just want this sh*t back from your dorm room X2You told me not to drink so that I would start to drinkYou told me that I’ll be fine if I just take my f*cking timeThink about all the time we spent together complaining about the weatherHiding from the world under our blanketsLife was just too simple I was something sentimentalI think I fell in love for the f*cking last timeEvery single conversation that we’ve had since we broke upFeels like I am fighting zapdos with a f*cking pidgeot Lay in bed playing pretend I’m in bed playing NintendoAm I drunk enough to text you again?You told me not to drink so that I would start to drinkYou told me that I’ll be fine if I just take my f*cking time You told me not to drink, you told me not to think. You said you’d never leaveYou told me not to, you told me not to, you told me

Tell me what you think about us getting back togetherI know it's crazy and totally stupidBut you love me and I love youSo it must be the right thing to doJust gonna apologize for everything I've doneCause I’m more beta than the fishI’ll make you some less than perfect eggsWhile you sit on the couch and text your friendsHow f*cked up everything againWell you know things could be differentIf you just looked at me when I talk to youSo we can just get along againI'm not here to cry or win you back tonightI just want you to how I feel when I’m around youI’m not here to cry or win you back tonight I just want you to know that I will always love you Tried to give you everything I haveWell I f*cked up once and you gave it all backWanna make you laugh on your bed for hours While your cheeks turn redWon’t let me help you move out Cause I broke your shelf the last time I helpedNow I’m just sitting here alone longing for the days We were both still in loveI break everything I get my hands on I lose everything I touch X2I'm not here to cry or win you back tonightI just want you to how I feel when I’m around youI’m not here to cry or win you back tonight I just want you to know that I will always love you

All my friends are stoners, so I never get to sleepCall three in the morning to tell me about your dreamsI don’t have the guts to tell them stop talking to meFantasy and robots, they just aren’t my cup of teaBleeding out on school has become a brand-new pass time for meI feel like I’m 15 while everyone else is f*cking 40Sorry for everything, sorry for wasting all my f*cking time on youI will never be as high, as you were that night, as you were last night X2(Break)I will never be as high, as you were that night, as you were last night X3

I woke up next to you daydreaming of days where we would wish for thisA night in your bed where we hold hands and wake up to a kissBut it was different, there was something between us, a cold space filled with guiltAnd I wasn’t happy I should’ve been happy, but I knew this was the endAs I saw you for the last time you whispered your feeling to meBut it felt so different I could feel it in your voiceA hug that was stiff, a burn on your lisp, a taste I wouldn’t forgetI thought of the things I had to say, and I knew this was my last chanceCause as heartbreaking as it always is, we would never be like this
