Don’t ask me if I’m angry no you know you’ve done enough,

making me believe that all the drama was love.

And I’m trying to make this worth it at the end of the day,

see I like to face my demons while you’re running away.

Told you what I wanted honest right from the start,

you sat there and convinced me you could play the leading part.

Wrote poems and letters and sang through the summer by spring I was cleaning my heart out the gutter.

I got sick of setting down three plates at the table,

one for you, one for me, one for your ego.

How’d you get so far, acting how you are.

You’re a lost boy floating ‘round acting like Peter,

not your little pixie bending backwards just the please ya.

How’d you get so far, acting how you are.

I was taught to hate myself before I learned to tell time,

that to love was to give everything and nothing was mine.

Spent my teenage years trying to fix the damage,

now I’m out here glowing I ain’t settling for average.

My screen lights up even when I’m not asking,

adding little truths to the chapter I’m grieving.

Dodged a bullet there to my angels I’m thanking,

I deserve the best not the next best thing.

Or whatever that was, yeah.

I got sick of setting down three plates at the table,

one for you, one for me, one for your ego.

How’d you get so far, acting how you are.

You’re a lost boy floating ‘round acting like Peter,

not your little pixie bending backwards just the please ya.

How’d you get so far, acting how you are.

I fell in love with a boy, with a boy who spoke in riddles ‘cause he didn’t know himself.

I knew he was many things, many things but a liar wasn’t one, how I was wrong.

And I got sick of setting down three plates at the table,

one for you, one for me, one for your ego.

How’d you get so far, acting how you are.

You’re a lost boy floating ‘round acting like Peter,

not your little pixie bending backwards just the please ya.

How’d you get so far, acting how you are.
