lyrics

You could be all alone if you wanted to
Delete the names from your phone, why don't you
You always blow off your friends in the end anyways
After a couple of days you'll be pulling out hair, begging someone to stay

She's watching you let time slip by
Concocting fables, constructing lies
You shouldn't hide what you do from the person you love
But that doesn't seem to stop you; you keep disregarding all instruction

You're burning out at both ends
You're burning out at both ends

The ticking clock in a bathroom stall
You suck your teeth, you snort Adderall
Only twenty-one and you hate what you've become
Maybe you can start again, live a life that's not yet begun

How many words can you fit on a page?
How many times can you change your Facebook name?
It seems like all you do is try to be someone else
If you could redirect even half that effort you'd be fine with yourself

Oh, probably not
Probably not

You're gonna be all alone, whether you want to or not
Gonna drink until your friends are simply names you forgot
Waste away in your room, anonymous
You love the feeling, but hate its consequence
