The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Joke me something awful just like kisses on the necks of best friends

We're the kids who feel like dead ends

And I want to be known for my hits, not just my misses

I took a shot and didn't even come close

At trust and love and hope

And the poets are just kids who didn't make it

And never had it at all

And the record won't stop skipping

And the lies just won't stop slipping

And besides my reputation's on the line

We can fake it for the airwaves

Force our smiles, baby, half dead

From comparing myself to everyone else around me

Please put the doctor on the phone 'cause I'm not making any sense

Blame everyone but me for this mess

And my back has been breaking from this heavy heart

We never seemed so far

I'm hopelessly hopeful, you're just hopeless enough

But we never had it at all

And the record won't stop skipping

And the lies just won't stop slipping

And besides my reputation's on the line

We can fake it for the airwaves

Force our smiles, baby, half dead

From comparing myself to everyone else around me

To everyone else around me

Everyone else around me

Everyone else around me
