[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Repeat to your
self that they
’re not really
gone
Time has prove
n that fooling
yourself into
believing
Aa lie is the
most effective
way to deal w
ith
Things you hav
e no control o
ver
[Verse 2]
Keep listening
to the mixtap
es they made y
ou
Overanalyse ev
ery single wor
d you hear
“Was this a si
gn that things
were going wr
ong”
No, no, you we
re the one tha
t cared too ha
rd, not them
[Verse 3]
Stay up every
single night s
taring at your
phone
Either attempt
ing to gather
up the courage
to
Turn these dem
ons, these con
stant reminder
s of
Your lonelines
s into nothing
more than a b
ad dream
Or praying jus
t for one seco
nd you could f
eel
The warmth of
equally return
ed love
[Verse 4]
Go out for cof
fee four times
a week by you
rself
Always bring y
our notebook,
never stop wri
ting
Leave little c
omics and than
k you notes wi
th your tip
Watch them smi
le as you get
in your car
[Verse 5]
Always talk do
wn on yourself
whenever poss
ible
My life is shi
t because I de
serve it, righ
t?
You must have
done something
real bad
It’s nearly im
possible for y
ou to cry now
[Verse 6]
Avoid your fri
ends for weeks
even though
They’re the on
ly sense of co
nsistency you
have
Left in your l
ife, if they r
eally wanted
To see you the
y’d come, but
they won’t (wh
o cares?)
[Verse 7]
Allow yourself
to lose inter
est in the thi
ngs you love
Watch as you b
egin to take a
backseat to t
he
World around y
ou, don’t figh
t it
Become a secon
dary character
in your own m
otion picture
[Verse 8]
But most impor
tantly drown e
very single on
e of
Your feelings
in old stolen
rum, learn to
Love the taste
of it drippin
g down your th
roat
Find comfort i
n the warmth c
oming from you
r
Stomach, you’r
e drinking bot
tled love now
[Outro]
You don’t need
other people
to drive away
your lonelines
s
You just neede
d to find a wa
y to talk to i
t
