I Don’t Exist Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been doomed from the start
Everything around me falls apart so quickly
Always end up with a broken heart
Even Tylenol can't fix me
'Less it's mixed with whiskey
I ain't even sad, I'm just bored
Nothing can excite me anymore like you used to
Hollywood has lost all its allure
Used to be so pretty, now it's just a city (Yeah)
[Chorus]
All of these people and all of their friends
Look so good together and I don't fit in
'Cause they're picture perfect and I'm on the end
Crop me out the photo so they can pretend
Like I don't exist
Like I don't exist, don't exist
Like I don't exist, nah
Like I don't exist, nah
[Verse 2]
When I feel good it never lasts
That's why you can find me livin' in the past if you need me
Everybody says this shit will pass
I say it won't, they don't believe me
Just tell me to deep breathe
[Pre-Chorus]
Fallin' apart
Don't know what to do, what to do
Lookin' for someone to save me, I don't know who
I don't know who
[Chorus]
All of these people and all of their friends
Look so good together and I don't fit in
'Cause they're picture perfect and I'm on the end
Crop me out the photo so they can pretend
Like I don't exist
Like I don't exist, don't exist
Like I don't exist, nah
Like I don't exist, nah
[Bridge]
Am I even real?
Am I even real? Am I even real?
Am I even real? Am I even real?
Am I even real?
It's hard to tell when I can't feel a fuckin' thing
[Chorus]
All of these people and all of their friends
Look so good together and I don't fit in
'Cause they're picture perfect and I'm on the end
Crop me out the photo so they can pretend
Like I don't exist, nah
Like I don't exist, don't exist
Like I don't exist, nah
Feel like I don't exist, nah
[Outro]
Am I even real?
