lyrics
lyrics:
(2 min 6 second intro)
(chorus)
Ain’t It crazy
I hate myself it’s kind of funny
Only because I make mistakes
I am a dummy
They ask me how’d it get this way
But i’m so sorry
I don’t have the answers
You’ve got the wrong me
I am so GOTH
Get out the house
I wish we did this all the
TIME
Talk in my ear
Tell me all your fears
You are so GOTH
Go off the hinges
I love these binges
how did it get that way
How did it end that way
Bridge:
When I pick up the pen
An emotional ride
When I open eyes
And I pick up the pen
See the beauty in life
See the doubt in your Eyes
Damn it I‘m not your friend
Or I would help you up
Oh it happened again
Now I don’t understand
It was all make believe
It was only pretend
verse 1:
I was out
I was out then went back in but
Now I‘m out
Done chilling in the closet with my skeletons
wait
now the closet just follows me around
uh
I don’t really know what that’s about but uh
At least can go out on a date
When I pick up the pen
I am taken away
I won’t see you tomorrow
I’m leaving today
You still have an hour
To tell me how you feel
That hour is over up up and away
My apartment building smells like Colorado
I do not mind it I need it sometimes
I feel so emotional out of my mind
A reason for living is hard—
bridge:
When I pick up the pen
An emotional ride
When I open eyes
And I pick up the pen
See the beauty in life
See the moments reprise
Damn it I‘m not your friend
Or I would help you up
did it happened again
I don’t understand
It was all make believe
It was only pretend
(chorus)
Verse 2
We fly above the Hollow
Though I feel something rotten
Can you be my goddess
Then I know I will blossom
