lyrics

And I tried honesty but it didn’t work, because I’m a jerk and I lied to myself first. Two years gone. And two years wrong. And all I’m left with is a punk rock song and nothing left of you.

You made me my favorite mixtape, and I made me your worst mistake. I didn’t mean to deceive you, believe me. You’re one of the true and you mean everything to me.

I was looking out for reasons to give you doubt. My head was cluttered with the past. Looking for an answer like an 80’s movie, but those scripts never do last. And I have nothing left of you.

You made me my favorite mixtape, and I made me your worst mistake. I didn’t mean to deceive you, believe me. You’re one of the true and you mean everything to me.

You’re one of the few. You mean everything to me. Seeing right through me. Knowing what I can be. You really threw me when I found you knew me. When I found you knew me...

Because I need you to get by and give me a reason to try. Because I found a better word than”like”. And as the summer sun sets down on Somerset’s sad sons, I’ll be sticking to my guns. I’ll be sticking to my guns because I may be nine months wrong, but I have your mixtape to keep me from moving on.
