'Cause I know you're still worried I'm gonna get scared
'Cause I'm alone again and I don't like the things I see
And I haven't been taking my meds

'Cause I know you're still worried I'm gonna get scared again
And make my insides clean with your kitchen bleach
But I've kissed enough bathroom sinks
To make up for the lovers that never loved me
[Outro]
And I know my body is just dirty clothes
I'm tired of washing my hands
God, I wanna go home
