Lyrics

Don't you dare speak for someone you don't know
They'll feel it in the back of their throat
We know I can't construct a poem
Cause words like girls get bored and run
C'est la vie, I say "I've got so many better things"
I've got nothing, you should see me
I smoke myself to sleep

And blame postmodern things I can't relate
Like summer camp and coastal states
Like alcohol and coffee beans
Dance floors and magazines
I think its safe to say I've only got myself to blame
But boys in swooping haircuts are bringing me down
Taking pictures of themselves

And so I walk the web in search of love
But always seem to end up stuck
I'm finding flaws in everyone
I've reached the point where all I want
Is to sleep around in hopes that I will catch back up
We are parallel lines we're running in circles
We're never meant to cross

I'm at a loss, you were my tangerine
My pussycat, my trampoline
Now alls I get are wincing cheeks
And dog problems, I signed a lease
Thinking my heart belonged at 93rd and park
Instead I broke a girl's heart
And flew back to phoenix to finish the year as it started

Can you hear me?
Are you listening?
This is the sound of my heart breaking
And I hope it's entertaining
Cause for me it's a bitch
Was it worth it?
When you slept with him?
Did you get it all out of your system?

I am a man
Holding it all
I couldn't breath
Coming across
I didn't know
I couldn't give up

B is for believing you'd always be here for me
E is for everything, even when we see it though
C, c is for seeing through you, you are a fake, which brings me to
A because, because, you always run away

I never finish phrases, I misspell
Open arms are prison cells
When I said, "i hate what I've become"
I lied, I hated who I was
So when you start to wonder 'bout the pain in my throat
Then don't you ever, no never, ever, speak for someone you don't know
