He treats you like you're best friends How long will you let him As if it wouldn't be sad to see him go Instead of thinking what to do You think he doesn't mean that much to you So as not to feel so alone Little miss workaholic At least that's what you call it When people ask you say you're feeling fine Instead of an addiction It's more like a disposition, or propensity To distract yourself all the time Whispering sweet nothings to yourself Is what you're doing, dear I said you're whispering sweet nothings to yourself That's what you're doing, dear What are you doing? This one's about the lost boy Call him Mr. Killjoy Although it's always sad to see him go He'll treat you like you're best friends As long as you let him So as not to feel so alone Takes a shower 'cause he's filthy Today he's feeling guilty Tells himself he's gonna play it straight And tells you that he's sorry Invites you to his party Pretending to himself and you he's changed Whispering sweet nothings to yourself Is what you're doing, dear You know you're whispering sweet nothings to yourself That's what you're doing, dear What are you doing?

I'm feeling off my head Before i went out should've ate something Now i'm all dizzy and conflicted Should i just go home or make a new friend Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up Shut up, shut up, shut up Anything that you could say Would only result in you looking Like you're drunk Give up, give up, give up, give up Give up, give up, give up, give up Give up, give up, give up Why don't you? You may as well give up And go on as if you don't Give a single fuck I'm feeling off my head And there's no excuse for me to be here again Now I'm all, guilt-stricken in my bed 'Cause i took you home at the evening's end I'm such a dickhead Would you please remind me why we're still friends, 'cause i don't know Speak up, speak up, speak up, speak up Speak up, speak up, speak up, speak up Speak up, speak up, speak up I've fooled myself twice already and this time i can't deny it Shame on me for pretending not to know myself when confronted by Truth With the Sun's rising, the cock's crow has struck a dissonant chord with my thought Stopping in my tracks, I am paralyzed by Revelation
