lyrics

I never really say what I mean
I just keep the words locked safe in my head
I still have tape marks on the wall from last Halloween
Can’t remember the last time I was eager to get out of bed

Always scared my trunk’s not empty when I drive home at night
But I never check before I leave
If there were ever someone there, I wouldn’t put up a fight,
Just start to question them on their beliefs

At night, I look up at the stars
But they’re just the stick-on ones on my ceiling
Always trying to figure what’s wrong with me
To explain the things I’m feeling
The older I get,
The more I know that I don’t know anything

Last night I crouched down on my knees while in the shower
The water flooded over my head
Wanted to remind myself what it was like to feel smaller
To see the world from my old perspective instead

At night, I look up at the stars
But they’re just the stick-on ones on my ceiling
The more I try to figure out what’s wrong with me,
The worse I start revealing
The closer I get,
The more I know that I don’t know anything

Will I ever be happier?
Will I ever be happy?

At night, I look up at the stars
But they’re just the stick-on ones on my ceiling (will I ever be)
Always trying to figure out what’s wrong with me (happy)
To make sense of what I’m feeling
The older I get,
The more I know
That I don’t know anything at all
