[Verse 1: Illtemper]

We race to find the one but never check the brakes

When heart matches energy, all the problems went away

Talkin' bout you love me at my worst, that's what many say

But you love me at my worst, then you love me every day

Committed to this, then we all set to play

Nonchalant, soft as croissants, we meant to flake

Second-place in every relationship, don't let my brain

Make fun of my mental health thеn recommend I change

Drain your fight to meet othеr people's needs

Pain feeds self-aid, at least what we believe

Seem depleted, grief repeated with all the dreams to be

The primary reason someone smilin', I receive relief

Darkest entities find light in others' happiness

Emotional cataclysm, the chaos gets wacky quick

Heartbreak is fuel, anxious attacks graduate

Prisoner of love and I need to crack out of it

[Chorus: Iltemper]

Nice guys finish last, I'll die alone

Another knife in my back, another milestone

Look at me now, where my smile go?

Just live for other people, my inner child's broke

Nice guys finish last, I'll die alone

Another knife in my back, another milestone

Look at me now, where my smile go?

Just live for other people, my inner child's broke

[Verse 2: Illtemper]

Hand covered in bite marks, sick of bein' a feeder

Face puffy from the stress, food I keep in the freezer

Charge tickets for my soul, they sneaked in the theater

Threw popcorn at the screen, desperation creeps in me deeper

Deeper and deeper, use me 'til I'm bedridden

Proud of what I caught, got these women net fishing

Let anxiety attack my nerves until my head's spinning

Just an empathetic vet, they hand me these dead kittens

Check with 'em, I'm left frigid, so nauseous

They wanna bring the defense with no offense

Work and sweat so others can fill their Coach wallets

Disrespect me, cover my gills, their hate I choke on it

Throat vomits, empty pockets, forever be walked on

Cold world out there, skin better be long johns

Weak to all the beatings, feel the lethargy all wrong

Good people never win, I'm dead to these ball hogs

[Chorus: Iltemper]

Nice guys finish last, I'll die alone

Another knife in my back, another milestone

Look at me now, where my smile go?

Just live for other people, my inner child's broke

Nice guys finish last, I'll die alone

Another knife in my back, another milestone

Look at me now, where my smile go?

Just live for other people, my inner child's broke
