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

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
