[Verse 1]
I bought a fake-ass t-shirt
Outside your favourite concert
Just to show you that I want you
But God knows I can't afford it
These days I cast no shadow
Playing my friend's piano
And all my songs sound dumb
'Cause they're all about you
[Pre-Chorus]
But I keep writing 'em anyway
And the crowd keeps singing 'em every day
[Chorus]
'Cause they don't know
They don't know what the words mean, so
They keep on going
But it breaks my heart
To hear them singing your name
And every night's just another without you
In a room full of strangers singing about you
And it breaks my heart
To keep on singing your name
But I'm singing it anyway
[Verse 2]
I bought a book on grieving
And all the leaves turned brown and fell down
And I'm still not healing
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I try to forget your name
But the crowd keeps singing it every day
[Chorus]
'Cause they don't know
They don't know what the words mean, so
They keep on going
But it breaks my heart
To hear them singing your name
And every night's just another without you
In a room full of strangers singing about you
And it breaks my heart
To keep on singing your name
But I'm singing it anyway
[Post-Chorus]
Poison flows through my veins
Each time I sing your name
But I think I'll keep singing it anyway
[Chorus]
They don't know
They don't know what the words mean, so
They keep on going
But it breaks my heart
To hear them singing your name
But I'm singing it anyway
[Post-Chorus]
Poison flows through my veins
Each time I sing your name
But I think I'll keep singing it anyway
Poison flows through my veins
Each time I sing your name
But I think I'll keep singing it anyway
(I think I'm gonna keep on singing it anyway)

This song is meta as fuck – it’s this big jumpy pop song about how much we hate writing songs about our exes because we have to sing them to crowds every night and re-live that pain, so we’re literally going to be singing this to a crowd about how shite they’re making us feel lol.
This song is like...
