Versuri I've Got a Dark Alley and a Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mou

Joke me something awful 
Just like kisses on the necks of best friends 
We're the kids who feel like dead ends 
And I want to be known for my hits, not just my misses 
I took the shot and didn't even come close 
 
At trust and love, hope and hope 
And the poets are just kids who didn't make it 
And never had it at all 
 
And the record won't stop skipping 
And the lies just won't stop slipping 
And besides my reputation's on the line 
 
We can fake it for the airwaves 
Force our smiles, baby, half dead 
From comparing myself to everyone else around me 
 
Please put the doctor on the phone 
'Cause I'm not making any sense 
Blame everyone but me for this mess 
And my back has been breaking from this heavy heart 
We never seemed so far 
 
I'm hopelessly hopeful 
You're just hopeless enough 
But we never had it at all 
 
And the record won't stop skipping 
And the lies just won't stop slipping 
And besides my reputation's on the line 
 
We can fake it for the airwaves 
Force our smiles, baby, half dead 
From comparing myself to everyone else around me 
 
To everyone else around me 
Everyone else around me 
Everyone else around me
