Well I hate Gtalking about Ddorm rooms Band moving out A
I hate Gtalking about the Dfuture because the Bfuture is right Anow
But I was Gdesperate for your Dlove, you were Bdesperate for Aattention

Without Gbegging for Dtime I think I Bstill need his Aadvice
I knew a Gguy who knew a Dguy that killed a Bgirl A
He said he Gdidn’t mind the Dway that she would Bbreathe A
He said he Gdidn’t mind the Dway that she would Blaugh at Athem
But he Gcouldn’t take the Dway that she would Bspeak
Oh, how she Aspoke

They found a Aplace where you can Ddrink outside
And you were Gtelling your friends that you can’t wait to get drunk
But you’re the Atype of girl that likes to Dwrite down her stories in a noteGbook
[Chorus]
And it gets Bscarier as the F#days go on
And it is Gharder for you to F#fake who you are
But you are Bbeautiful, and this is F#oh so clean
So you can Gtake what you want, fake a F#smile and I mean
That I Bneed you but I hate F#all of your friends and the
GWay that you act when we F#hang out with them
And I might Bmove back home this F#fall
So I can Gfinally gain F#control
And I might Bmove back home this F#fall
So I can Gfinally sleep again, F#finally sleep again
[Verse]
This is Aalmost over Dnow, I only Ghave so much blood to spill
And you were Apainting it on my Dwall like you would Gdo back when we were kids
But you’re the Asame person that I Dknew, you just got Glost along the way
And I still Alove you in that Dway
And that will Gprobably never change

If I don’t Erun away right Cnow, then I will Gnever leave this Dshithole town
But I was Evoted back in Cschool to succeed
Now I am Gsitting here every Dnight reading
The same Epoems that you Cwrote for me
And I was Gcrying because I Dfeel lonely
My mom Eran when she had to C
I never Greturn what I Dsteal
I hated Egoing to prom with Cher
I probably Gshould’ve taken Dyou
But I’m an Easshole, asshole, Cyeah
At least Gaccording to your Dfriends
But I Elove the way you Csmell tonight
And I Glove the way this Dends, alright
[Chorus]
But we can Bonly drown ourCselves so quickly
I was Drunning on the Eshore, so maybe
There was Bwater in my Clungs, I can’t breathe
And this Dship is going Edown with me
So you can Bshut up, shut up, yeah, Cyeah
And you can Dtake this like a man
Because a Bcaptain knows that what a Ccaptain does is beDtween him and his friends
And his Efriends C
And his Gfriends D
And his Efriends C G D
[Verse]
And we were Estealing 'cause we’re Cbored, not Gbecause we needed Dfood
And I was Erunning with the Cwolves because I Gthink that they like Dyou
[Bridge]
But I will Escrew up, screw up
I will Cfuck up, fuck up
But I will Gtake back what is Dmine
But I will Escrew up, screw up
I will Cfuck up, fuck up
But I will Gtake back what is Dmine
What is Cmine
What is Dmine C D

But we can Bonly drown ourCselves so quickly
