Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't you dare
Speak for someone you don't know
They'll feel it in the back of their throat
We know I can't construct a poem
'Cause words like girls get bored and run
C'est la vie
I say, I've got so many better things
I've got nothing
You should see me
[Verse 2]
I smoke myself to sleep
And blame postmodern things I can't relate
Like summer camp and coastal states
Like alcohol and coffee beans
Dance floors and magazines
I think it's safe to say I've only got myself to blame
But boys in swooping haircuts are bringing me down
Taking pictures of themselves, oh
[Verse 3]
And so I walk the web in search of love
But always seem to end up stuck
I'm finding flaws in everyone
I've reached the point where all I want
Is to sleep around in hopes that I will catch back up
We are parallel lines, we're running in  circles
We're never meant to cross
[Verse 4]
I'm at a loss
You were my tangerine
My pussycat, my trampoline
Now all's I gets are Winston chicks
And dog problems, I signed a lease
Thinking my heart belonged at ninety third and Park
Instead, I broke a girls heart
And flew back to Phoenix
To finish the year as it started
[Verse 5]
Can you hear me?
Are you listening?
This is the sound of my heart breaking
And I hope it's entertaining
'Cause for me
It's a bitch
[Verse 6]
Was it worth it
When you slept with him?
Did you get it all
Out of your system?
[Verse 7]
I am a man
Holding it all
I couldn't breathe
Coming across
I didn't know
I couldn't get up
[Verse 8]
B is for believing
You'd always be here for me
E is for everything
Even when we'd see it through
C, C is for seeing through you
You are a fake
Which brings me to A
Because, because you always run away
[Verse 9]
I never finish phrases I misspell
Open arms and prison cell
When I said I hate what I've become
I lied, I hated who I was
So when you start to wonder
'Bout the pain in my throat
Well don't you ever, no never ever
Speak for someone you don't know
