lyrics

It’s Not You, It’s Me

Once upon a time, we used to be something I thought was so sweet
But it’s only bitter now
Once upon a time, you used to see the softer side of me
But I’m old and brittle now
So, if you don’t know
Than I feel I must tell you so
When I see you this way
It only breaks my heart

You know this chemical circus ain’t as cool as it used to be
Neither is the conversation or company
And if you’re asking me, I think it’s sickening
Is this what passes for romance these days?
If it’s alright with you, I’d rather this remain unsaid
I know the speech you’re giving me like the back of your head
And if my heart’s still playing beats and yours isn’t cold and dead
I think that we should go our separate ways

Forgive me if I just don’t see what’s so great about the “good old days”

We were just seventeen years old when we sold our souls
For sex and drugs and rock and roll
But Baby, they don’t even play songs like that on the radio any more
It took a lot of selfish shit like this to be this self-aware
Please be careful with yourself, it’s a jungle out there
I can understand why you’d be so scared
I’m not made out of stone
But if you’re asking me what I want to be
My answer is…
All alone
