For old friends

lyrics

Will angrily gluing
Cardboard to cardboard solve your trauma?
Or will you always and forever be frightened of sedans?
God's perpetually fucking with the best laid plans
But he could throw a little sympathy your way
I have to say
That you've handled this wreck
Better than I've handled indirect rejection
What does that say about your character?
Or rather what does it say about mine?
I digress, I'm doing fine,
But I'm impressed by your ability to keep calm and carry on

And I wanna know your favourite song
So I can play it for you

Loudly in my kitchen
You may not hear it,
But I think that it's the thought that counts
And I will tell you all the parts you're missing
If you listen hard enough you might hear something
To confirm you're not losing your mind
Just a little bit of supermarket white noise
And you'll be fine

What the hell kind of difference does another fight
With your mother make?
So much for the language of love
You make it sound like the language of hate
And I think it's great that you don't get too attached
Shave your head and feel your hair slip through your fingers
It's amazing that you're totally unfazed
By the time you almost died
Maybe even when you were flying through the air
You knew that you'd survive
Or maybe you were just unconscious
Either way it's been five years
Here's to you and all your brutal honesty

I know that he appears to be
Doing absolutely fine

But that pretty boy you cared about so much
You destroyed him, I think that it's time
For me to teach you basic empathy
And in return you can teach me how to repress all my obsessive tendencies
Is this an ending or will this be the end of me?

Will this be the end of me?
Will this be the end of me?

No, I'm not finished,
I refuse to be. I'll be better this time around
And I won't let me let my old friends get me down
And I won't forget the awful things we said
But I will still try to forgive
'Cause I'm not finished yet
And all I wanna do is live
