Joke me something awful just
like kisses on the necks of
"best friends"*
We're the kids who feel like
dead ends
And I want to be known for
my hits, not just my misses
I took a shot and didn't
even come close
At trust and love and hope
And the poets are just kids
who didn't make it
And never had it at all
And the record won't stop
skipping
And the lies just won't stop
slipping
And besides my reputation's
on the line
We can fake it for the
airwaves
Force our smiles, baby, half
dead
From comparing myself to
everyone else around me
Please put the doctor on the
phone 'cause I'm not making
any sense
Blame everyone but me for
this mess
And my back has been
breaking from this heavy
heart
We never seemed so far
I'm hopelessly hopeful,
you're just hopeless enough
But we never had it at all
|
And the record won't
stop skipping
And the lies just
won't stop slipping
And besides my
reputation's on the
line
We can fake it for
the airwaves
Force our smiles,
baby, half dead
From comparing
myself to everyone
else around me
to everyone else
around me
everyone else around
me
everyone else around
me |
