You've Always Been Me

lyrics

One day I'll call you up and I will end up saying to you
The words that everyone eventually ends up wanting to say to you
I'm gonna kill myself and it'll be your fault
You'll have to explain to my mom why my body's all crushed on the asphalt

Sorry or not, I'm damned and I'm doomed
And I wish I'd kissed you in that horrible empty room
But all things considered, I don't feel so bad
I know sorry doesn't matter, I learned that from my dad

And besides I've always been mean inside

I want you to know that it isn't your fault
If I drink Draino or end up sleeping in a nuclear vault
People do and say all these things to you because you believe them
People throw their bullets at you because your chest is always open to receive them

Ready or not, I'm damned and you're doomed
And I still want to kiss you in all your horrible empty rooms
Because I feel such tenderness when I remember you didn't know I'd hurt you
All things considered I can't imagine the feeling isn't worth it

I've always been mean inside
You've always been me, you've always known my insides
