Make sure to smile real soon
Ask questions and act confused
Look at them right in the eye
And hope that they don't realize
It's my fault that we still don't talk
Running out of things to say
It's your fault that we fell off
Until you change it's gonna stay the same
(Chorus):
I swear I'm listening but my mind's running circles round my head
Life's so interesting so why'd I think I'm better off as dead
What's the point of this? Why am I getting out of bed?
I'm not giving up, but til then I'm just playing pretend
You've never seen such a crowd
My thoughts are still way too loud
Your presence so comforting
But eventually everybody leaves
I can't say that I've ever felt right
You swore it was just a phase
A future so bold and bright
I'm terrified of every plan I've ever made
Chorus
Make sure to smile real soon
You've got nothing left to lose
It's ok to close your eyes
