Memory lane, it's '85
A baby boy with big blue eyes
And promises just waiting to be broken
A different voice, a different day
All the same in a different way
Lies are sweeter softly spoken
Sometimes I wonder why, why I even try
When nothing ever seems to change
I get nervous, scratch the surface
Is anybody listening?
I feel worthless, introverted
The silence is deafening
Come tomorrow when I'm older
I will be somebody's shoulder
I'm not perfect, just a person
And I stay fucking nervous
Love and pain, lights that shine
Another chance for you to lie
Don't forget to say I love you
Something strange, to my surprise
Another lover you didn't find
Only hurts because it's true
Sometimes I wonder why, why I even try
When nothing ever seems to change
I get nervous, scratch the surface
Is anybody listening?
I feel worthless, introverted
The silence is deafening
Come tomorrow when I'm older
I will be somebody's shoulder
I'm not perfect, just a person
And I stay fucking nervous
Tell me what I'm looking for
Tell me what I'm trying to find
I could never watch you hurt
Watch me break this fucking curse
I get nervous, scratch the surface
Is anybody listening?
I feel worthless, introverted
The silence is deafening
Come tomorrow when I'm older
I will be somebody's shoulder
I'm not perfect, just a person
And I stay fucking nervous
