When your nose bled
I could never help, I hid and hung my head
Made it all about myself
My needs, my sensitivity, my greed, my inability
To see you right in front of me,
Bleeding, Bleeding
So when I'm wasted, lying on your couch
I hope that you will kick me out
Cause you know I can't control myself
When your head bled
I couldn't bear to help, I got my mom instead
Made it all about myself
My shame, my vulnerability, my pain, my curiosity
Don't feign your positivity
You're bleeding, bleeding
I won't try to convince you that I'm better
I'll convince you I try
Won't try to convince you, to convince you
I won't try to convince you
I'll convince you I try
The only thing stuck in my mind
I said "I guess we're even now,"
He said "I'd have to break your heart a few more times,"
So when I'm wasted, lying on your couch,
I hope that you will kick me out
Cause you know we can't control ourselves
I won't try to convince you that I'm better
I'll convince you I try
Won't try to convince, to convince you
I won't try to convince you
I'll convince you I

I would let you take me out
If I thought that there was something that you'd let me talk about
But instead you'd make me shut my mouth
But if you told me to do it you should know I wouldn't do it
I would let you pull my hair
If I thought that it would hurt cause if it doesn't I don't care
If I thought that it would hurt cause if it doesn't I don't care
I've gotta wake up at 10 am
Is that early for you? cause it's early for me
I've gotta brush my teeth again
Cause I keep throwing up everything that I eat
I would let you drink my beer
If I thought that you could work it off and pay me back next year
If I thought that you could work it off and pay me back next year
I've gotta wake up at 10 am
Is that early for you? cause it's early for me
I've gotta brush my teeth again
Cause I keep throwing up everything that I eat
I would let you beat me up
If I thought that I could stand a chance in making you look tough
Instead you'd whimper, like a pup
So I don't think we would do it, no that night we wouldn't do it
I would let you drink my beer, if I thought that you could work it off and pay me back next year
But your belly's getting bigger and your bank account is cleared
I've gotta wake up at 10 am
Is that early for you? cause it's early for me
I've gotta brush my teeth again
Cause I keep throwing up everything that I eat
I've gotta take my pills again
Cause I can't seem to tell when I'm going crazy
I've gotta brush my teeth again
Cause I keep throwing up everything that I eat

Robyn waves her hand to lead me down the stairs
Now I understand exactly why she's there
To have some fun
The night is young and immature
And I (so dumb)
Should hold my tongue and follow her
Cause she doesn't mean coca cola
No she doesn't mean coca cola
All my inner bureaucracies will find a way to ruin me
Cause I'm thinkin bout what I told ya
Yeah I'm thinkin bout what I told ya
Watch it come back
Watch it go
Watch it ebb out
And watch it flow
All my idiosyncrasies you'll find that you hate that side of me
That you hate that side of me
That you hate the sight of me
That you hate that side of me
That you hate the sight of me
Thinkin bout what I told ya
No she doesn't mean coca cola
Thinkin bout what I told ya
No she doesn't mean coca cola
Watch it come back
Watch it go
Watch it ebb out
And watch it flow
but will you come back?
I don't know
Once you've seen that side
I hope

So your pain won't just wash away
Well what did you expect?
You've scrubbed it til you bled
Now your skin is raw, and it starts to itch
So you reach to scratch it, but it's such a bitch
So you shut me out and you lock the door
Well guess what? I'm not knocking anymore
So your insecurities won't just fade away
Well what did you want?
Did you think that things would change?
Now your frown is fresh, and your phone is dry
And you reach to check it but you're still too high
So you go to bed and turn off the lights
Doesn't it feel wrong not to say goodnight?
I'm trying, are you?
I'm dying, are you too?
So your wants won't just walk away
well what did you think?
We've circled every block
Now your feet are sore, and your heart is too
And you think that's better, maybe better for you
But you cast me off then you pull me back
I'm not a two-way street, I'm a cul-de-sac
I'm trying, are you?
I'm dying, are you too?
Denying what's true
You're whining (nothing new)
I'm aching for two
You're breaking, aren't you?
