lyrics

(chorus)
I know that I’m worthless
I know that I’m fucked up,
Kind of an asshole,
I guess I deserve this
I know that I do
But everything I am
Everything I say,
Everything I do,
I’d give it all up then
Give it all up for you

But fuck this
Nobody deserves this
I’m full of shit
And it’s all on the surface
I can’t believe I ever thought that I might’ve had a chance

And the man who knows everything
Will write on the wall
The words I will never
Say to anyone
But no one will seem them
Cause he writes them just for me

And I don’t believe in anything much at all
And maybe that’s why I can never stand quite as tall
As you know I’d like to
Well of course I liked you

And you were the one I thought might be
The one who could possible tolerate me
But I'm not worth you, maybe another time, maybe another world
Maybe another me, maybe another girl

[chorus]

If she’s happy I'm happy
I shout at myself
This would all get better if I could get the fuck out
But I'm so fucking selfish
I hate myself

I fuck up everything I try
I fuck up everything I try
So I will not say a word
My lips are shut, my mouth secure

I fuck up everything I try
I fuck up everything I try
So I will not say a word
My lips are shut, my mouth secure

The only way for me to cope
Is to distract myself the only way I know
The only way I know
It’s never helped before

I'm a fucking liar
I don’t fucking care
I wish I was somewhere
But I don’t know where
Maybe in your arms
But that’s not ever gonna be

I close my eyes and wish these last few months were all in my head

[chorus]

I said it takes a little more
Than a pretty girl
These days
To keep me up at night
But I guess that just wasn’t quite true
I guess I didn’t think of you

[chorus]
