lyrics

I'll give you a reason
To stop believing "everything happens for a reason"
I'm so tired of hearing that shit
From friends and family
All you happy people make me sick

I woke up on the pavement with a crowd gathered tight over me
It made me anxious, so I put my shades back on
And through the shattered glass I couldn't help but laugh
As you threw your helmet at the driver and threatened his family

But I knew you were a good one when
You turned around as they cut off my clothes in the trauma unit
I passed out right about then
And I dreamt of you

I'll give you a reason
To stop believing "everything happens for a reason"
I'm so tired of hearing that shit
From friends and family
All you happy people make me sick

I knew the pills were working
Cause I thought about how pissed I'd be
If I died there and I never thought of death
As anything but a vacation
Honestly, I know that's bad
But now I live in constant fear
And I'm not sure which is scariest

But I knew you were a good one when
You called me out for always looking miserable in bed
I passed out right about then
And I dreamt of you

I'll give you a reason
To stop believing "everything happens for a reason"
I'm so tired of hearing that shit
From friends and family
All you happy people make me sick
I guess I shouldn't be so negative
But I won't sleep sound either way, cause I'm...

Scared I'll ruin all your favorite songs
That I sing to you
