[verse 1]
oh, they got so skeptical
the first time that i said
we’d be lying in the same bed
by the time the year would end
told-ya-so’s are
bouncing in my mind
the social mastermind
can’t admit what she can’t find
[chorus]
so i went and told all my friends
that you’d be there till the end
then you went and you damned it all
now who's gonna catch me when i fall
they were just talking ‘bout you last night
but it’s been two weeks and i
can’t for the life of me decide
if i should see you when i close my eyes
[verse 2]
you had them en-
raptured from the start
oh, you played the perfect part
what mattered was my heart
(oh shit)
[chorus]
so i went and told all my friends
that you’d be there till the end
should’ve known you’d shoot it dead
this is for every text you’ve never read
they were just talking ‘bout us last night
but it’s been two weeks and i
can’t for the life of me decide
if i should see you when i close my eyes
[bridge]
voices in my head they say
don’t worry it’ll be ok
voices in my head insist
don't let her get away with this
look up to them with glassy eyes
look back down and
DOWN THE WHOLE BOTTLE TONIGHT
[chorus]
so i went and told all my friends
that my wits were at their ends
i’m the one who fucked it up, but
im still disappointing when i cut
and “us” was “you and i”
oh, i can’t help but decide
that i can only cry
in the clarity of stroking shit out to a lie
i'm all of this broken mess
i'm a demon in a dress
i'm everything you love to hate
done up to scorn you on a stage
oh and this is all for you
both our hearts that ended bruised
i hope it finds you every time
you have the nerve to close your eyes
