lyrics

the cars in a lifeless parking lot
have more company than i do
and i wouldn't have this problem
if i could just maybe stop thinking of you
but there's not much you or i can do about that.
and i don't mean to sound so hopeless,
but i think the opposite's true--
i have too much hope,
it's doomed, i'm doomed, we're doomed

and must i withhold this lechery
when i know you're just as bad as me
in this aspect
but i just don't want to lose your respect
and the progress we have claimed to make
well i hope this wasn't all just my mistake

you know
sometimes i secretly hope he was just a way to cope
and sometimes it's too big a hit, and i can't deal with it
no i can't deal with this, and i can't help but wish that
this all went to shit
like it always will, like i always do
'cause i can't follow through
i don't know how i got just so fucking wrapped up in you
and i know it's a lie, these things always subside
but the pain still remains, we will not be the same
can someone just know that i never meant it at all
believe me, i never meant it all

"you just try so hard to be fucked up for the sake of the story
but your life is not a song
or a songwriter's.
so will you look at me?"
