lyrics

I hate going out on the first of the year but I hate staying home more
Ditch all my friends the second I start to feel bored
And I watch all the cars with drunk drivers spin out of the parking lot
While assholes run their mouths about stupid shit they did when no one was looking

Ending my life doesn't have the same appeal
It's just starting to feel too real
And I know every night I wind up on the phone
Begging for love from people who can't stand me anymore

I hate being drunk I don't like who I am when the thinning of my blood is public
I know how to pass out because that's when I'll miss you the most
And I hate seeing girls kiss their boyfriends at twelve
Where should I look, I just stare at the ground
When their lips touch I swear I am seeing a ghost

Ending my life doesn't have the same appeal
It's just starting to feel too real
And I know every night I wind up on the phone
Begging for love from people who can't stand me anymore
