lyrics

Yesterday I tore up a story I wrote
All the way back in 2008
The character development was lacking and
Nobody had nothing to say
I enjoyed solitude until it wasn't a choice
Now I just feel so alone
So I get up,
I go to work,
Then I go home.

There is a thundercloud that hangs out over my life
Made up of all these drugs I try not to use
And I'm like Annie Wilkes in that book Misery
Except I'm also Paul Sheldon too
And like the citizens of Hitler's Germany
I'll put up with things til it's too late
I'd be more ashamed
If I weren't so busy making mistakes.

I wanna be happy with this girl that I love
But my mind won't let me be okay
I hate being separated from my friends
But some of them I secretly hate
I'm kidding about that, I love you all
And I promise you that's totally true
So if you won't say it
Then I will,
I love you.

Last night I tore up some lyrics I wrote
Late at night the day before yesterday
Nothing I wrote felt accurate
And I couldn't convince you to say
What you'd thought the whole time
Now you're gone and it's hopeless
And so once again, I'm alone
So I get up,
I go to work,
I get off work,
Then I go home.
