lyrics

I’ll be honest
I promised to be
so yes I dodged your questions for weeks
but past is the past!
I’m over all that,
and now I’m taking every step to come clean

that’s how I wore out
my favorite shoes
some kid once told me I could make those into flower pots
but they took up space
so I threw them away
I don’t “get” flowers, anyway

so drenched in sweat,
is it this guilty complex?
No–no, I just sat in the sun too long
keep me wedged in this doorway
I’ll scan the weather updates
for the day I move on

cause I die
everytime it rains
I’m a papercup, it’s the only way
I get filled up
use me once, that’s more than enough
take me, dear, to that garbage dump
cause I can’t take another minute,
I got nothing left to give this

my facet, it constantly drips, drips, drips
and i take it and take it and take it
cause I’ve got a knack for being helpless,
and I’m a gooood good liar, watch!
“I’m trying to be better!”

still, I can’t escape your sweetheart words,
a bellman watching me get worse
my life’s at a white board,
I write over and over:

“This one’s a failure–it had to be.”

I’ve died
every fucking day
just a papercup, for the love of god,
when can I give up?
where’s my hard earned accolades?
honey, I was born to disintegrate
and I can’t take another minute,
I got nothing left to give this
