about

game of the year edition

lyrics

my bed is falling off of its frame, but I'm used to it
they say that its just for today, what a load of shit
I am hardly trying, no I’m not trying at all

my room's a fucking mess like it’s always been
and yes i'm still depressed, I'm not over it
I think it’s more than in my head

all of the mornings that I waste away
eyes barely open a shameful display of
a mannequin dead, inside and out
hands in the face, knees on the ground

I admit it I’m not trying my best
I admit it I'm not trying my best
I admit it I am just like the rest
I am just like the rest, like you said

shitty liar, but you knew that already
you always said how you saw right through my lies
but I don't think that matters anymore

pretty tired, my eyes are so heavy
my table is stained from the cups of coffee that we used to drink
now they’re down the sink, I turn to the bottle
SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE

I admit it I’m not trying my best
I admit it I'm not trying my best
I admit it I am just like the rest
I am just like the rest, like you said

“im gonna get better i promise” x 10000
