lyrics

I know there’s a double standard but I think you’re overcompensating

I never could realize the allure to a life full of hatred of everyone But I guess it makes it easier to deal with your lackluster self when you don’t let them realize who you are you stay distant never dare letting anyone close for fear they’ll hate you for other reasons, reasons out of your control/ stop slut and grow up quit playing the martyr you were never even good at the game slop shop you fucked up and I’d love to see his face the first time you called him my name [if you were] burning alive I’d wait to piss on your ashes they day of your wake toast with raised glasses you’re a hand me down you’ll always be and tell your best friend stop trying fuck me/ I was the one staying up all night pacing across the bedroom floor while you were hanging out more selling yourself short anything you knew I’d give it I made your bed and you lied in it then you never came home and now I’m stuck being my own therapist without the doctorate to write the scripts where did this go wrong?/ I am fucking sure that the reason you’re acting this way is buried somewhere deep in your past but you can blame the world for your dad going out for cigarettes and never coming back searching for some closure you’re no closer using male attention to hide your pain those boys don’t even know your name and I wish I didn’t know your name those boys don’t even know your name
