lyrics

I'm pretty sure I'll never write another song again
The consolation's I don't drink and I'm not a pothead
My biggest relapse trigger is a backwards president
And that's bigger than the monsters in my bed
But I'll make it, someone said

If they can, then I can
And if I do, then so will you

This is the chorus of a song that I can't write
I'll never sing it for the person who needs it
Because I want to die
This is the chorus of a song that I can't write
I'll just repeat it 'cause I feel so depleted
I can't think of a rhyme
It's the chorus of a moment in my life I will remember
Pain for pain and gain for gain

I'm pretty certain I'm a person you won't call a friend
The evidence is stacked against me, piles that don't end
My biggest obstacle right now is I'm made of shame
And that's how a coward never makes amends
But I'll make them all the same

If they can, then I can
And if I do... well it's up to you

This is the chorus of a song that I can't write
I'll never sing it for the person who needs it
Because I want to die
This is the chorus of a song that I can't write
I'll just repeat it 'cause I feel so depleted
I can't think of a rhyme
It's the chorus of a moment in my life I will remember
Pain for pain and gain for gain

I'm pretty scared that I've just shared too much and not enough
It's a familiar feeling I'm still getting the hang of
I wish I was smart, experienced, and tough
Like all the people right here that I love

Like all the people right here that I love
