Wasn’t ever nice
cheated on me twice
didn’t know the pain that he caused me
now I’m all alone
wishing it went right
but I know it now he wasn’t worth it
can somebody help
I’m reaching out my hand
will you come and take it? I know he won’t
He’s a selfish dick
done with all this shit
don’t need to put up with all of his problems
now I’m my own girl
find some fucking friends
friends who know that I’m not fucking useless
Now I’ve got these kids
help me day by day
now all he is, is just a memory
yeah just a memory

I feel trapped in this town
I hate everyone’s guts
if you’re looking for personality,
you’re shit out of luck
I remember the days
when this place brought me joy
but I can see there’s no room
for another lost boy (girl?)
Been in this town
so long that I don’t know
who really cares
about me anymore
Now I’ll just write
these songs about people
who never wrote
a song about me.
It’s Hard not to pass
a place we once shared
it’s hard not to wish
that you were still here
I wish I could say
this is a place that I love
but this town isn’t big
enough for the both of us.
Been in this town
so long that I don’t know
who really cares
about me anymore
Now I’ll just write
these songs about people
who never wrote
a song about me.
I stay inside
cuz I'm safe in my room
I don't want to sleep
I fell in love with the moon
I know you’re looking at it
every night
and it kills me as much
as you thought it might.
Been in this town
so long that I don’t know
who really cares
about me anymore
Now I’ll just write
these songs about people
who never wrote
a song about me.
