lyrics

Went to bed too late,
Woke up in my room.
Flicked on the light it shone way too soon.
Get out of my way,
I’ve got no time.
I’m already late to catch my train on time.
I know you’ve been talking behind my back,

You know that you have a knack for that.
But that’s not fair,
I can’t respond.
I cannot prove I’m not hanging on.
It feels like you’ve been talking about me,
I’m sentimental I know.
You better think of a line,
And think of it fast.
I’m not the same as when you saw me last.
My bullshit detector is really strong,
My friends and my tunes keep me moving along
To a place where I can live my life,
Without those harsh eyes that keep you alive.
The sun is setting,
I’m already forgetting
What it was that kept me guessing
What was it about me that you didn’t like?
Stupid stuff keeps me up at night.
Please stop talking about me.
Let me be sentimental over someone else.
