[Verse 1]
Warm on your feet, dead as the sun
I can be good, good as you want
Keep it low-key, let's have some fun
You don't love me, but I know you're the one
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't lie to me now
I got a lot of shit going down
Don't lie to me now
We both know the answer
No one tells you life's a bullet
You might die alone
I thought it'd be better with you in it
But this don't feel like home
[Chorus]
This shit fucking sucks
You always seem to find a way to go and mess it up
Goodbye and good luck
Trying to find your Pixies T-shirt in the trash truck
You're so fleeting, you change with the leaves
Goodbye, good luck
You can keep your fake friends and your fake love
[Verse 2]

[Pre-Chorus]
But don't lie to me now
I got a lot of shit going down
Don't lie to me now
We both know the answer
No one tells you life's a bullet
You might die alone
I thought it'd be better with you in it
But this don't feel like home
[Chorus]
This shit fucking sucks
You always seem to find a way to go and mess it up
Goodbye, good luck
Trying to find your Pixies T-shirt in the trash truck
You're so fleeting, you change with the leaves
Goodbye and good luck
You can keep your fake friends and your fake love
[Outro]
You're so fleeting, you change with the leaves
Goodbye and good luck
You can keep your fake friends and your fake love
