are you drinking your water,
and sleeping in later?
i still care for you
do you still skip breakfast,
and get so blasted
that you tell me you love me too?
do you still live at home,
and think it's cool to smoke--
is your *** stuck in high school?
'cause i outgrew cheap alcohol
and skipping sleep to catch your call
and wishing i could be just like you

i escaped the suburbs
i didn't mean to leave you
but of course, i would.
you don't love me anymore
i won't believe you like before
but of course, i would.
i made a life of my own
i'm much happier alone
but of course, i'd relapse for you

pants on fire
you're a ***** ******* liar
you don't care about me.
you're still manipulative,
can't hold a conversation
without hurting my feelings--
but touch me where you know
i'll feel it in my bones
and babe i'll be leaving.

i escaped the suburbs
i didn't mean to leave you
but of course, i would.
you don't love me anymore
i won't believe you like before
but of course, i would.
i made a life of my own
i'm much happier alone
but of course, i'd relapse for you

sometimes i wonder why i left
'cause i miss my mother.
but separation's for the best
thanks for the reminder.
i want you to hear me--
i'm afraid to scream--
you made a mess of me--
i don't want to be mean--
i'll put oceans between us,
i don't want to forgive you,
to love you is useless
i can't help it if i do
