Lyrics

Ok imma just come in here
Nobody cares when you're older
And they didn't care when we were younger
And we just pretend it's okay
And we just pretend it's okay
Day after day
Night after night
Birthday after birthday
Monday down to Sunday
Buh-da-da-da-da
(Whatever whatever)
I took the 405 down to your place
(Whatever whatever)
A simple thank you could've gone a long way
But that's another conversation to make
And I ain't making that another mistake
Can we just deal without the love or the hate?
I can't be noxious no more
(Whatever whatever)
My heart's been taking up a whole exercise
(Whenever whenever)
Whenever you would just pop into my mind
I would be honest but it's hard for me
I hate to talk I hate the feeling when you call me
I keep it ringing and ringing
But nobody cares when you're older
 And they didn't care when we were younger
And we just pretend it's okay
And we just pretend it's okay
Day after day
Night after night
Birthday after birthday
Monday down to Sunday
Yeah
I hate conversation I hate cutting ties
I hate confrontation I hate compromise
I hate the fact that I ain't honest and get caught in lies
I hate when you do me wrong and I have to apologize
I hate the fact that you've got keys to our apartment
I hate the way you cut me off in the middle of me talking
I hate the way we can't relate on anything anymore
I'm way too fucking picky and you're way too immature
It's like damn chore now
Sweeping shit under the rug hiding shit under the bed
Talking to whomever else we should be talking instead
If we keep arguing I'm gon make you late to work again
So I just call my mom and complain
From her answers I can tell that she been through the same thing
With the man that she has or had at once
At one point in the time she got lost and found herself realizing
That's she's in a better space without him
Dipped out on all of the pain now what's the outcome?
She had to build a space without him
Lost self esteem but thankfully she found some
In her son, a carbon copy of every sloppy decision
That she regrets to revisit I swear
So much of this conflict concerning me
I know I'm my father's son, but I've got lots of her in me
She hates conversation, she hates cutting ties
She hates confrontation, she hates compromise
She hates the fact that she's too honest with these other guys
She hates fact I have her nose but got my father's eyes
And after all the petty shit I went through with my girl
She told me you should probably call her and apologize
And I asked her why and she replied
That nobody cares when you're older
And they didn't care when we were younger
And we just pretend it's okay
And we just pretend it's okay
Day after day
Night after night
Birthday after birthday
Monday down to Sunday
