Don't you dare

Speak for someone you don't know

They'll feel it in the back of their throat

We know I can't construct a poem

'Cause words, like girls, get bored and run

C'est la vie, I say "I've got so many better things"

I've got nothin', you should see me

I smoke myself to sleep

And blame postmodern things I can't relate

Like summer camp in coastal states

Like alcohol and coffee beans

Dance floors and magazines

I think it's safe to say I've only

Got myself to blame, but boys in

Swooping haircuts are bringing me down

Taking pictures of themselves

Oh

And so I

Walk the web in search of love

But always seem to end up stuck

I'm finding flaws in everyone

I've reached the point where all I want is

To sleep around in hopes that I will

Catch back up, we are

Parallel lines, we're running in circles

We're never meant to cross

I'm at a loss, you were my tangerine

My pussycat, my trampoline

Now alls I gets are wincing cheeks

And dog problems, I signed a lease

Thinking my heart belonged at

93rd and Park, instead I

Broke a girl's heart and flew back to Phoenix

To finish the year as it started

Can you hear me, are you listenin'?

This is the sound of my heart breaking

And I hope it's entertaining

Cause for me it's a bitch

Was it worth it when you slept with him?

Did you get it all

Out of your system?

I am a man holding it all

I couldn't breathe, coming across

I didn't know I couldn't give up

"B" is for believing you'd

Always be here for me

"E" is for everything

Even when we see it through

"C," "C" is for seein' through you

You are a fake, which brings me to

"A" because, because

You always run away

I never finish phrases, I misspell

Open arms are prison cells

When I said I hate what I've become

I lied, I hated who I was

So when you start to wonder about

The pain in my throat, well don't

You ever, no never, ever speak

For someone you don't know
