i’d be a shoulder to cry on
if i knew how to fake it
i guess you gotta see
what went wrong
be careful what you wish for
you don’t know the way
you don’t get a say
you don’t get a say
stay up until you catch me
echoing away
you don’t get a say
you don’t get a say
i’ll give you something to work on
but i promise you’ll hate it
you don’t want to feel
burned and bugged
but you don’t get a say
you don’t get a say
but you can picture me arm in arm
with someone who can
make me less afraid
and i can picture you up all night
with weekend homework
wishing you could make me wish i’d stayed
i’ll give you something to work on
but i promise you’ll hate it
