lyrics

I used to lie to my mum a lot
Crisps behind the bed
And cigarettes out the window
I was still a kid though
I was still a kid though
I used to drink a lot
Spent nights in the parking lots
I'd pretend it wasn't real
To avoid the whole speal
But now

A bottle of wine is all I'd need
if that was still ok with me
I feel like granite, just let me plummet
A bottle of wine is all I'd need
But I'm not bowing into greed
And I’ll never be the same again
But at least he's not hers and I'm not him

The time that passed without thinking
Time that never passed without drinking
Blue nights all alone talking to myself
Grinning in the dark
I couldn't find my heart
With easily hours spent in easy hours
Going back and forth for the vodka that I bought
Just to sit on the roof and smoke in the moonlight
With different friends every night
Tryna keep at bay the fright
Losing a battle that I didn't wanna fight
Just to leave it with the sofa
Whilst dreaming of the chauffeurs

A bottle of wine is all I'd need
If that was still ok with me
But I feel like granite, just let me plummet
A bottle of wine is all I'd need
But I'm not bowing into greed
And I'll never be the same again
But at least he's not hers and I'm not him

Always feeling lost thoughts always drifting
Didn't know who I was
Didn't know what I was missing
Not sleeping through the night
My stomach feeling twisted
Tabs choking up my throat
I never knew a single quote
Feeling like a loser
Cos I'd always lose her
Green in my eyes
Trying to disguise
The cash in my wallet’s all taken from hers
But the guilt never caught up, cos I'm coming with the lies

(Everything’s fine how about that!)
