time scabs over all wounds as it soldiers on
but it’s so, so dull to keep moving along
when I never bothered to grow up big or strong
so I broke my fist on a young boy’s face
s-s-so, so sick of my adult angst, you know
but oh no I don’t want to let it go
so I’ll do you one better than happily forever
said do you one better than happily forever
after all this time I never learned how to say never
we could bleed on out until this whole town is red
is it so, so sad if that’s as good as it gets
so softly said, don’t know what you expected
to find round here dear sister of mine
just s-s-so, so tired of being a survivor are you
but oh no I don’t want to let it go so easily
so I’ll do you one better than happily forever
said do you one better than happily forever
after all this time I never learned how to say never
when it hurts to breathe, well I tell myself
that if it’s not you then it’s someone else
and so long as we’re here we might as well
enjoy it while it lasts
if it gets hard to breathe will I tell myself
that if I’m not here then I’m somewhere else
and so long as I’m there I might as well
enjoy this while it lasts
I’ll do you one better than happily forever
said do you one better than happily forever
after all this time I never learned how to feel pleasure
