i didn't opt in to be your odd man out.
you ain't gotta pray for me.
your home's really only a town you're just a guest in.
you don't get to tell me about sad.
i wish i could un-recall how we almost had it all.
and no one here's to blame, but what about your quiet treason?
this town is fake, but you're the real thing.
there was a litany of reasons why.
babe, you gotta fake it til you make it.
i keep recalling things we never did.
but you were gone by the morning.
i love you. it's ruining my life.
who else is gonna know me?
i forget if this was ever fun.
show me that this world is bigger than us.
yes, i'm haunted, but i'm feeling just fine.
i haven't come around in so long but i'm coming back so strong.
oh, here we go again.
i can handle my shit.
time... doesn't it give some perspective?
you smoked then ate seven bars of chocolate.
i should've known it was a matter of time.

i would've died for your sins.
fuck it if i can't have us.
i don't mind. it takes time.

well, you took me to hell too.
and who's gonna hold you like me?
'cause i'm miserable! and nobody even knows!
i choose you and me religiously.

but it's gonna be alright. i did my time.
i'll tell you something right now, i'd rather burn my whole life down.
you say i abandoned the ship but i was going down with it.
are they second-hand embarrassed that i can't get out of bed 'cause something counterfeit's dead?
tell me i'm despicable. say it's unforgivable.
come close. i'll show you heaven.
now you know what it feels like.
what if i told you i'm back?
if you wanted me dead you should've just said.
i can read your mind.
