lyrics

i’m bored and i feel useless
now everything seems wrong
and you’re still asking
why i never want to write you a song

the answer is so simple
because you are a lie
you’ve done so much to crush me
yet i’ve managed to survive

now i can see it clearly
you’ve wrecked me for so long
and that is why i’ll never ever
ever write you
a song
