i sleep in my childhood bedroom
i wanted a change, so now it's sky blue
is this normal at twenty two?
i'm coming home from work to dinner and wine
have to call my mother if i won't be on time
and the guy i like he's so much older
he's so cool with that chip on his shoulder
i dance around the facts that aren't so pretty
like i am scared of silence, and no one's ever loved me
have you had enough?
should i keep this up?
i suppose that i should learn to fix my heart
but it's so fun to fall apart
i used to go for these long drives
trying to ride out my mind
i'd listen to one song on a playlist i got from my friend
"jesus christ, i'm alone again"
"jesus christ, i'm alone again"
and i'd point to the days ahead
saying "i promise, that'll be when
everything will fall into place and
i will be okay"
but i keep pushing it off,
just not today
but i've got to make this right
i'm carving my life with a plastic knife
i'm crying in the kitchen to my poor mother
she just wants a stable kid
and i don't want her to worry about me
for one more minute
have you had enough?
cause i can't keep this up
yeah i know that i've got to fix my heart
cause it's not cute anymore to fall apart
