U Up?

Falling asleep in aluminum
Waking up next to porcelain
Replaying things I’d rather forget
Regretting the messages that I sendt
You’re falling asleep in your warm bed
Recounting all the things you’ll never forgive
Falling asleep in aluminum
Waking up next to porcelain
I’m waking up next to porcelain
I’m waking up next to porcelain
I’m waking up next to porcelain
You’re waking up right next to him

You were probably right I should have worn a coat
Now I’m standing outside in the goddamn cold
You know I hate winters here but I was just trying to look cool
It doesn’t impress you
I was probably right I should have never shown up
Now I’ll spend my whole night trying not to throw up
Jealousy just seems to fit me so well
I’m sure you can tell
Have you seen the show about some boring office job
That revolves around finding true love
And if I bring it up enough you might like me
I’ll never be that confident or interesting
I can tell you’re getting bored so I might as well dip
Just one more beer then I’ll slip out that back door
You were probably right I should have worn a coat
Now I’m standing outside in the fucking snow
You know I hate winters here but I was just trying to look cool
It doesn’t impress you
There’s nothing (nothing)
You can say (you can say)
That’ll make me (That will make me)
Want to stay (I don’t want to stay)

I’ve been having that dream again
Where I’m losing all my teeth
You’ve been talking down to me
I guess in my head you’re really tall and kind of an asshole
Maybe
I’ve been smoking too much weed
You’re not making sense to me
You can’t self-medicate every time that you want to sleep
I just really want some sleep
I just really need some sleep
Stop reminding me to eat
I just really want to sleep
Cracked phone screen
Scraped up knees
I’m not that smart
But it probably has something to do with why my hands hurt
Lately
I haven’t taken much of anything
I don’t really want to talk to you
And I swear I’m not manic I just really want to move my couch
I really want to move this couch
I really need to move this couch
I should probably leave this town
I really want to talk to you
I really need your help
I should just cut my hair
I really really need your help
I thought that I could move this couch
I should probably leave this house
Maybe I should leave this town, Maybe I should leave this town
Maybe I should leave this, Maybe I should leave this
Maybe I should leave, Maybe I should leave
Maybe you should leave, Maybe you should leave

What an appropriate time to check your phone
Right in the midst of me trying to tell you I’m not ok
I’m sure you’ll gaslight the way
What an appropriate time to bring this up
We’re both drunk as fuck and you’re friends are gathered around to hear
All about my deficiencies
Most likely I’ll say “I’m sorry”
Throw out your decency and make me believe
That this last time is the last time that you’ll ever fucking hurt me
I’m sure I make this too easy
Wrap your words right around my neck
The most common way for you to take my breath
Is so closely related to violence
And most likely I’ll say “thank you”
And most likely you’ll say nothing at all
What an appropriate time to check your phone
Right when I’ve worked up the courage to tell you I’m leaving
Your eyes get wide then sad
And most likely I’ll say “I’m sorry”
And most likely you’ll say that you “love” me

I swear to god that I only write songs about things that never cross your mind
How fucking pathetic
My mom said that I’d grow up to break hearts but the funny part is
I’m the only one who winds up getting hurt
“You could be anything that you want to be”
That’s exactly why I’m nothing
Spend too much time in my own head
Just pretend I could forget
Every time we were fucking stupid
I’ll probably die young from the pencil lead that’s left in my arm
I’d look cool with a tattoo
I’m not saying that I want it
I’m just saying it would be convenient
You won’t do anything to take this back
I would do anything to feel alive again
I could be anything that I want to be
That’s exactly why I’m nothing
You won’t do anything to take this back
I guess I thought we’d still be friends
So take whatever’s left of me
That’s precisely why I’m nothing
