Better Way

Emotionally, I never grew past fifteen
I'm bitter and I'm mean when I don't get my way
No one will ever pick me to be first on their team
That's the kind of bullshit I like to say to me
I've got to get in quickly, knock myself down a few pegs
So you don't think I'm self-absorbed, it's a careful game I play
Tell me, is there a better way to go about it?
Tell me, do you ever worry like I do?
That your life so far is a joke, it's a lie, you're a hoax
You can't get around it
But when friends are caught up in their own shit, you'll have to be there for you
Even when it's the worst damn job that you've ever had to do
Occasionally, when the stars have all aligned
I'll be on top of the world
Radiate convincing and half-honest self-esteem
'Til I talk myself back down eventually
And I feel like I passed the deadline for knowing who I'm supposed to be
It's all on me
Yeah, I feel like I missed the deadline for knowing who I'm supposed to be
And it's all on me
So tell me, is there a better way to go about it?
Tell me, do you ever worry like I do?
That your life so far is a joke, it's a lie, you're a hoax
You can't get around it
But when friends are caught up in their own shit, you'll have to be there for you
Even when it's the worst damn job that you've ever had to do

Forget Your Face

I played a song once in your car
Which you ignored, but it underscored your voice
Now you've left me with no choice
But to always tie those notes to you
When you're gone and it comes on
Tell me what the hell I'm supposed to do?
You laid your head against me
And the thought of washing out the scent of you
Is something I just can't do
One day, 'fore my hair's gone grey
I hope that I can forget your face
In memories that I pore over
You'll just be a blurry shape
Even after all this time
There's something I can't seem to find
I've been searching in all the wrong places
Thought that I wanted another you
Then I started to see it through
It felt like pushing in the knife twice
Let that be a reminder
Next time I'm trying to find someone like you
I'll only think that
One day, 'fore my hair's gone grey
I hope that I can forget your face
In memories that I pore over
You'll just be a blurry shape
Oh, one day, 'fore my hair's gone grey
I hope that I can forget your face
In memories that I pore over
You'll just be a blurry shape
I can't stand the things that are good for me
But I never have a clue till it's too late
From the outside lookin' in, I'm sure it's plain to see
Big red flags that I never appreciate
Some day, when the sting fades away
Maybe I won't have to forget your face
In memories that I pore over
You won't have to be erased
