I used to think

And now I’d rather not

The best escape from

Disillusionment I’ve got

My empty head

Won’t heal a heavy heart

But baby no one cured the blues

By being smart

So I might try to get by

On my charm for a while

Until you don’t like me

But I can take that in stride, I’ll

Zone out with a smile

To keep my head empty

No I’m not here to deal with my problems, babe

Shut up and let me have a good time

It’s free

To have a little escape

As a treat

Let it go

And move in closer to me

I used to think

But sometimes I relapse (oh God not again)

And each time I’m reminded why

I’ve had enough of that

Why enjoy life when I could fill my head

With every horrible thing that might happen instead

Keep track of who’s problematic

To prove that I’m not

Or remember the people

Who ghosted

So I might try to get by on

My charm for a while

Until you don’t like me

(It won’t take long)

But I can

Take it in stride, I’ll

Zone out with a smile

To keep my head empty

No I’m not here to deal with my problems, babe

Shut up and let me have a good time

It’s free

To have a little escape

As a treat

Let it go

And move in closer to me

For all that I’ve learned

I still act like a fool

And I forget all my words

When I’m staring at you

Everyone else is a downer

The world is a drag

But you could give me a reason to be here

For all that I’ve learned

I still act like a fool

And I forget all my words

When I’m staring at you

Everyone else is a downer

The world is a drag

But you could give me a reason to be here

No I’m not here to deal with my problems, babe

Shut up and let me have a good time

It’s free

To have a little escape

As a treat

Let it go

And move in closer to me (and move in closer to me)

No I’m not here to deal with my problems (so I might try to get by on)

(my charm for a while until you don't like me)

It's okay, let it go

It's okay, let it go (I can take it in stride, I'll)

We can have a good time (zone out with a smile to keep my head empty)
