I'm tired of trying to pretend

I don't wanna be, be, be, be

Wanna be your only friend

I'm tired of getting paralyzed

Every time I see your eyes

And having to lie

Pretending I don't have them memorized

I swear I never learn

(Oh Father show me mercy)

I guess it's gonna burn

(Somebody's gonna hurt me)

I live my little days

(Lying on the floor)

Trying to avoid your gaze

(Can't take this anymore)

I guess you

Look good in distress

Rockin' a hard place

Trying to forget that

Smug look on your pretty face

Look good in distress

Rockin' a hard place

Been here so long

I can't think of any other way

Sad how the times went

Not working for us

Trying to forget

It's all been a bust

I wanna be

Someone, somebody, that's worth being

But I need a reason

Sometimes seeing's easier than believing

I swear that I don't need ya

Don't wanna mislead ya

I swear I never learn

(Oh Father show me mercy)

I hope that you don't burn

(It's all so disconcerting)

I live my busy days

(Lie a little more)

Trying to avoid your gaze

(Can't take this anymore)

I guess you

Look good in distress

Rockin' a hard place

Trying to forget that

Smug look on your pretty face

Look good in distress

Rockin' a hard place

Been here so long

I can't think of any other way

Sad how my mind went

Looking for us

All of the time, babe

I think I'm a bust

I remember being young I remember feeling

All alone in the universe, reeling

Never stood a chance

Victim of my circumstance

At least that's what I tell myself so I don't have to take a stance

Got thicker walls than the Vatican City

I'm just afraid of being called over dramatic and pitiable

I don't want another way to feel this grace

But look at me here lying to your face

Sad how my mind went

Looking for us

All of the time, babe

I think I'm a bust

And it's all in my head

Ways I've given up

All of the time, babe

I think I'm a bust
