Lyrics

Waking up kissing the floor of a bathroom stall This isn’t any way to live no not at all And every one of these kids is so original White suit black tie with Chuck’s and I Can barely pull off a standard tux but why Would I need to worry about it when I do it all again every night As someone else Crashing parties raising hell Maybe I should get some help I start to call myself the great pretender before they tell me Wait remember when you used to stand for something more than this I always think it’s happy ever after until it’s a complete disaster Until another name is falling from your lips When did I become so cynical And when did you become so lyrical If only the ice beneath my ribs would crack Red smile black eye I’m stuck I guess I didn’t know bad luck could wear a dress I meant “I hate you” when I said “wish you the best” But I’m a whore I guess they mentioned that I’ll strip down for your attention And you’ll be stuck here in suspension So give me a sign now That this is alright now It’s all black and white now But I just want it right now So give me a sign now That I’m still alive now
