Lyrics

As it stands, I'll never make it through this

As I lie right here

And I, try to think of the words to say

But the paintings unclear

It's like I'm standing in front of a mirror

All fogged up from the pain and fear

I can't make left from right

I can't tell wrong from right

So now you're there, I'm here

My, my hearts everywhere

You blew it to bits you selfish bitch

Fucking hate this shit and

And I'm sorry about the cruel words

I know it sounds absurd, and I

I wish, I never did date you I really did hate you

But it'd all be a lie

And I'm not that guy

Who claims that he has cut ties, with the past

But I swear, our story was meant to last

I've got some falsified facts

And though they're false I wish they were true

Not sure how much I meant to you but,

But you meant so much to me

I'll make you see, eventually

There are things on my mind

Things that I just can't leave behind

Things that I just want to forget

Things that I just can't seem to part with

And I know for a fact we're done

But how come it feels like I've lost everything that I've won

So much pain, and not enough pleasure

Everything I think about leads me to her

And, I'm so sick of it

How come this shit's so relevant?

Three years roll by you wave goodbye

The sad thing is I'm not sure why

Was it me, was it you?

Honestly I really don't have a fucking clue

But I know ever since I lost you

I'm not sure what the fuck I should do

Rather be doing anything else

Then sitting here sulking by myself

Rather be living life without a home

Then stuck here pretending I'm not alone

Rather be working a job with no pay

Then trapped here thinking of you all day

Rather be pulling my tongue off a pole

To replace the claims you've placed on my soul

Now, it's 6 months later

I'm trying hard but this shit ain't fair

Two weeks, is all it took to replace me

Now you see why I thought you were fake V

And at first I admit it was the pride

I couldn't accept the fact you could leave me like that

Heard a click clack, looked back and you were gone

I blinked and you were moving on

My friends say I'm better off without you

And I'm sure all your friends say it too

And I don't blame you for the choice that you made

Though it broke my heart I'm kind of afraid

To admit that, I regret so much shit

Looking back on what we had, no one could touch it

That's why I'm trapped in the past

My mind keeps praying our story will last

Rather be doing anything else

Then sitting here sulking by myself

Rather be living life without a home

Then stuck here pretending I'm not alone

Rather be working a job with no pay

Then trapped here thinking of you all day

Rather be pulling my tongue off a pole

To replace the claims you've placed on my soul

And time heals all wounds

Then why the fuck do I still think of you?

Yea it's true, engraved like a stain on a white shirt

Looking at our prom pics still hurts

And it's bull shit

Why can't I just quit?

Give up on life like those emo kids did

Browsing on your facebook makes me sick

To see the picture of that faggot who you cheated on me with

And now you're dating, well that's cool I guess

I tried dating too, it was an epic fail

All I did was end up in emotional jail

Trying to see how many girls I've gotta fuck to pay the bail

And no matter what I do I can't ever forget

How you tossed me to the side after dealing with your bullshit

Do my best to distract myself

Cause I'd ra-rather be doing anything else

(Than thinking about your bitch ass)

Rather Be

Rather Be, Rather Be

Rather Be, Rather Be, Rather Be

Doing anything else

Then sitting here sulking by myself

Rather be living life without a home

Then stuck here pretending I'm not alone

Rather be working a job with no pay

Then trapped here thinking of you all day

Rather be pulling my tongue off a pole

To replace the claims you've placed on my soul
