lyrics

I slept 17 hours straight last night, I’m pretty sure my girl thought I was dead
And I heard relief and joy in her voice when I finally lifted my head
She said, “It’s easy to feel like a failure when all your friends seem fine,
But you’ll find when you peel back the layers, we’re all just scraping by”

But if you want me to see a dentist, you’ll have to kick me in my teeth
I can’t ask for help unless it’s an emergency

Lately, baby, I’ve been struggling with the idea that I ain’t any good
You spent ten months with a fucked-up mutt trying to convince the world he’s pure
And it’s gotten so late that I don’t think the bloom is gonna come anymore
And the sun on my face feels like a cheap insult that I just can’t ignore

But if you want me to see a dentist, you’ll have to kick me in my teeth
I can’t ask for help unless it’s an emergency
And if you want me to see a mechanic, you’ll have to set my car on fire
I’ll probably just bask in the glow of the flames
I’m sorry, but it’s just the way I’m wired

“Stop feeling sorry for yourself
Get help or shut the fuck up”
I interrupt with an eruption:
A bottle thrown at the wall
Baby, if this is where we’re headed
Let’s call it now and say we’re through
Are you sick of me?
Yeah, baby, I am too

Clean the apartment in tandem
The shards of us in aftermath
Through the haze and the confusion
I forget what I said

But if I ever said I never loved you I hope you know it was a fucking lie
It’s something you’ll say to make the other person feel as bad as you at the time
And I know you’re sick of me and all the places I really should have been by now
But if you want me to see the dentist, you’ll have to punch me in my mouth
