Lyrics.
What Went Wrong?
all my friends are getting married
and finishing degrees
I'm still here flipping burgers
and adding extra cheese
what went wrong with me?
oh, what to do with myself
my friends all go out drinking
they've learned to not ask me
I prefer isolation
to pleasant company
what went wrong with me?
oh, what to do with myself
life's not a competition
if it were, I'd be last
my friends all took the highway
i took the underpass
oh, what went wrong with me?
oh, what to do with myself
Falling Apart
I smile and nod
I'm so polite
you'd never know
I'm wound so tight
I try to show
a thicker skin
but really, though
it's paper thin
I guess, to tell the truth
I've kept everyone else in the dark
but no one wants to hear about
when you're secretly falling apart
I try to act
so unconcerned
but every awful
thing is burned
into my mind
I can't forget
and now I think
I'm losing it
I guess, to tell the truth
I've kept everyone else in the dark
but no one wants to hear about
when you're secretly falling apart
I'm falling apart, I'm falling to pieces...
I guess, to tell the truth
I've kept everyone else in the dark
but no one wants to hear about
when you're secretly falling apart
Brittle
I feel like all of my bones
are waiting to be broken
I feel like all of my skin
is waiting to be torn be torn open
feels like I was born brittle
old and decayed
feels like I was born brittle
just made to break
i feel like all my insides
are made of papier-mâché
and if i rip just right
i will disentigrate
feels like I was born brittle
old and decayed
feels like I was born brittle
just made to break (x2)
feels like I was born brittle
old and decayed
feels like I was born brittle
just made to break (x4)
Maybe It's Time
maybe if I just go on pretending
everything's fine and nothing is wrong
I can get by just barely surviving
living the lie I've been living so long
'cause I can't just wait
and it won't be fine
I could use a change
and maybe it's time
maybe if I just picked up a pencil
and wrote out the things that I hate in myself
then burned up the page to cinders and ashes
lo and behold, I'd be someone else
'cause I can't just wait
and it won't be fine
I could use a change
and maybe it's time
maybe if I just gave up complaining
actually tried to get what I want
dropped all of my pathetic excuses
and made an effort at something for once
'cause I can't just wait
and it won't be fine
I could use a change
and maybe it's time
