lyrics

Desensitize me
I feel nothing at all,
but empty words left to waste in the basement from a lack of attention

It's so much fun to play pretend, when you don't love yourself anymore
My shirt was put through the wash so many times,
that I can't count them on my fingers
Now it's all faded, torn, and stained from all the bleach

Just take a picture
It'll last you so much longer than all the feeling I have left
If it's so fun to play pretend, when I just don't love myself
Why does it hurt just to love you back?

Isn't it sad how masturbation can bring you closer to understanding
that you're lying to yourself every time you fall asleep
Please rip out my insides and feed them to my enemies
I'm sure they'll be happy someone stole a piece of laminated plastic
It was fun while it lasted

We make mixtapes to remember that we're treading so much water
We make mixtapes to forget,
that we're not better, we're just bitter
We make mixtapes, try and listen to the words without emotion
because I tried, but I don't think I can anymore

We make mixtapes to remember that we're treading so much water
We make mixtapes to forget,
that we're not better, we're just bitter
We make mixtapes, try and listen to the words without crying
because I tried so damn hard,
but I'm not the same person I was way back then

I'll hold you close to my heart
If you can tape me back together please,
but the film's all worn and tangled by my feet

I'd rather watch your youthful smile age through an old photograph,
than bear the weight resentment has to hold on this cold and crippled chest

Well I think I had my fingers crossed
When I tried to fall asleep last night

Just take a picture
It'll last you so much longer than all the feeling I have left
If it's so fun to play pretend, when I just don't love myself
Why does it hurt just to love you back?

So I guess this is goodbye
