lyrics

I know that you thought I was a good catch
But now you probably see me like you caught the flu
Maybe like a chronic disease
Maybe like a preventable STD

Since you're as stubborn as you are pretty
You're stuck with me

To you and all that have come before
Thanks for trying
I take more than I give
I ain't lying

I'm a bottomless pit
And you fell in love
There's a chasm to fill
And love is not enough
I'm a broken light bulb
Sweep it under the rug
And you cut yourself
Trying to clean my mess up

I still appreciate all that comfort
Thanks for trying
I still want to pay you back
Wishes in place of trying
My problems are older than you
I swear I'm trying
I hope I've given you more than lessons
So thanks for trying anyways

Thanks for trying

I ain't lying

I'm in hiding

Thanks for trying

Don't think of what should have been
You know where I'm heading
Thank me for not dragging you down

I know you wasted your time
