lyrics

So I’m just the wallpaper at my own party


You come over to be with people who aren’t me


In a blaze of awkwardness, you blurt out the dumb things I do

You take my friends and self-esteem and all the beer, too

I always have to learn dumb stuff the hard way
I’ll circle the drain while you continue lying

Since you've come along
You're all anyone talks about
It's too bad they don't know
You're rotten at the roots

Since you've come along
I haven't seen the sun come out
But you’ll never grow
Cuz you're rotten at the roots

The party was lame, but it was mine and now I’ve got nothing
But empty bottles, insecurity, and endless loathing
I’ll clean up the mess, I’ll take out the trash, but I won’t forget this
Days like this can make the sanest person superstitious

Don’t say yes unless you really mean it
Don’t make a mess unless you wanna clean it

Since you've come along
You're all anyone talks about
It's too bad they don't know
You're rotten at the roots

Since you've come along
I haven't seen the sun come out
But you’ll never grow
Cuz you're rotten at the roots
