Jerk
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.
Just tell me if I'm doing it right
The things like that don't matter
The things like that don't matter
The things like that don't matter
The things like that don't matter
It doesn't matter (you didn't realize that by now?)
How you're feeling (took a while)
All my friends, it's just a feeling
It doesn't matter (you will never understand)
But I know what you mean
So I stare at the ground
That the world is so fucked
I wanna go back in the house
Where I buy and I use
I'm not sure if it works
By the time it's revealed
I will look like a jerk, like a jerk
Yeah, I know that I look like a jerk, like a jerk
Yeah, I know that I look like a jerk, like a jerk
Yeah, I know that I look like a jerk, like a jerk
Yeah, I know that I look like a jerk, like a jerk
The things like that don't matter
The things like that don't matter
The things like that don't matter
The things like that don't matter
You bought an old film camera
You're not even sure if it works
You say the lighting's perfect
I look like a jerk
But I know what you mean
So I stare at the ground (I get it, I get it)
That the world is unfair
I wanna go back in the house (I will never understand)
Where I buy and I use
I'm not sure if it works
By the time it's revealed
I will look like a jerk, like a jerk
Yeah, I know that I look like a jerk, like a jerk
Yeah, I know that I look like a jerk, like a jerk
Yeah, I know that I look like a jerk, like a jerk
Yeah, I know that I look like a jerk, like a jerk
Should've been thinking about my own life
'Cause the only thing I'm wasting is my own time
When the only thing I know is what I don't like
And the only thing I'm wasting is my own life
The things like that don't matter
The things like that don't matter
The things like that don't matter
The things like that don't matter
Like a jerk
Yeah, I know that I look like a jerk, like a jerk
(The things like that don't matter)
Yeah, I know that I look like a jerk, like a jerk
(The things like that don't matter)
Yeah, I know that I look like a jerk, like a jerk
(The things like that don't matter)
Yeah, I know that I look like a jerk, like a jerk
(The things like that don't matter)
Yeah, I know that I look like a jerk, like a jerk
(By the time we met up it was worst come to worst)
Yeah, I know that I look like a jerk, like a jerk
(There was nothing to say I could tell you were hurt)
Yeah, I know that I look like a jerk, like a jerk
(By the time we met up it was worst come to worst)
Yeah, I know that I look like a jerk, like a jerk
(There was nothing to say I could tell you were hurt)
