I wish for the times when I was the life of the party
The ones thrown by the bad boys where the good girls showed their true side
And I was just me left alone at home sipping down on my glass of reality
Their's was nothing left to decide on those nights
And everything was simpler than today
So beckon to all the shattered dreams
With this heart handled flask of strength to get through the evenings
Where I don't believe in what I used to
And it feels like I am nothing and you are everything
And these are the sayings we choose too
The mixing of lies with sex
Never builds love in the end
And we pace the room looking for whoever's next
End it all tonight
My struggles and shortcomings are anything but beautiful
And I'm masking them with an inebriated feeling of euphoric proportions
Mixed with the same lines that I might just make it out alive tonight
Waking up next to something that's a lot less than nothing
And the evening is deemed a storyteller's dream
The lights come up in my eyes
The feeling that this headache hides
Is empty... I feel so empty
The lights come up and I raise my head
To the stars and the moon and the glimpse of mercury and mars
And the fact that they are closer to you than I ever will be
So drink up for the night is dieing before it begins
And the midnight highs have to hold out for longer than just one day
So we won't realize what we are running from
Is being normal
