My friends ain't doing so well
I'm doing better than them
Doesn't that mean I don't need help?
I know I put you through hell
But I can't say no when it comes to breaking myself
I'll see someone when the sun comes up
But if I'm gonna make it through the night
I gotta drink 'till I'm numb
Baby, don't wait up for me tonight
I’m gonna go until morning
Told you there was something wrong with me
I gotta drown out my feelings
And I don't want to be to be the one
That has to say, "I told you so"
Baby, don't wait up for me tonight
In the cold, until morning
What if the pills make me numb?
How you gonna love me if I'm just not myself?
What if there's nothing wrong?
Maybe I've just been an asshole all along
I'll see someone when the sun comes up
But if I'm gonna make it through the night
I gotta drink 'till I'm numb
Baby, don't wait up for me tonight
I’m gonna go until morning
Told you there was something wrong with me
I gotta drown out my feelings
And I don't want to be to be the one
That has to say, "I told you so"
Baby, don't wait up for me tonight
In the cold, until morning
I got fucked up and threw up on my shoes again
And I fumbled your bra strap before you left
You said, grow up and give a fuck or I'll leave you here
Well I never knew what you saw in me, dear
Well I never knew what you saw in me, dear
Baby, don't wait up for me tonight
I’m gonna go until morning
Told you there was something wrong with me
I gotta drown out my feelings
And I don't want to be to be the one
That has to say, "I told you so"
Baby, don't wait up for me tonight
I’m gonna go until morning
