sat outside
the hotel you clean
you shouldn't be in hospital
so you're not
glad to hear you're not
seeing your therapist these days
me neither
you use to give me butterflies
and i couldn't eat
last night you punched me in the jaw
and now it hurts to eat
try to leave you alone
and you get scared
i miss when all you asked of me
was to choke you
to choke you
start smoking menthol cigarettes
eat food with dirty hands
sell drugs to all my friends
and pretend to be in a band
so fun hearing songs about me
terrified now you know you're beautiful
please don't point at my brain
how can you hate me for doing what you told me to do
wave to me now
in dreams so new
look for me
in every single thing you do
i could smell your perfume
across the room
jesus christ she told me
to see someone new
how i wish i could get stuck on you
how i wish i could get stuck on you
how i wish i could get stuck on you
how i wish i could get stuck on you
how i wish i could get stuck on you
how i wish i could get stuck on you
and fuck me in a park
next to a highway
you use to have blue lights
in your room
now they're from the police cars going past
fuck me in a park
next to a highway
fuck me in a park
next to a highway
can't believe
the things we said
shouting about
all the people we'd seen lately in bed
so fuck me in a park
next to a highway
start smoking menthol cigarettes
eat food with dirty hands
sell drugs to all my friends
and pretend to be in a band
so fun hearing songs about me
terrified now you know you're beautiful
please don't point at my brain
how can you hate me for doing what you told me to do
you use to give me butterflies
and i couldn't eat
last night you punched me in the jaw
and now it hurts to eat
