I think you´re gonna survive this I think you already did The hole in your chest was quite the hit But in the end it was matinee theatrics
Understudy in the starring role Got disappointed when you saw the show But you acted impressed Of what you thought was second best Always performing Even seated in the audience
You´re walking home through foot traffic Trying to weave around the drunken businessmen Your card gets declined so you ask one for swipe Only to be denied and left there behind
You go through a phase of hiding inside Of dark bars, walking distance from the train You sink a couple down and hope that no one figures out You came alone, and you will leave the same way
But at least you tried And at least you attended And your room became a mess With every piece of clothing You tried to fit And you´re standing there In a mirror of full length With a willingness to pretend Enough to just get through it
Take it back to the start of the fall When you got yourself up Just to push who you were further off All the boys and the weekend debauch Left you lonely and drunk Till you could fall asleep standing up
