about

This song is about not being able to fit in at college.

lyrics

My dad bet my brother that I'd fail out of school
The worst part is knowing that it's probably true
I can't find myself or what I wanna do
I swear to God that I'm trying to

What if I can't find a way
(I don't think that I'll ever find a way)
To manage my time?
(I just hope I can make it through the day)
Will I fail every class
Or bomb my exams?
Does that define who I am?

I spend my time alone in my dorm
Thinking about lecture and all the shit I didn't learn
Drinking cheap vodka 'til my face goes numb
I can't believe that I've been up this long.

What if I can't find a way
(I don't think that I'll ever find a way)
To manage my time?
(I just hope I can make it through the day)
Will I fail every class
Or bomb my exams?
Does that define who I am?

And I'll cover it up with drugs
and breaking girls hearts
cause who gives a fuck
if I trick them to bed, with something I said?

They deserve to be as unhappy as me.

I'm fucking up on everything, I'm starting to get sick
I smoke too many cigarettes, I'm failing all my shit
I wish I could find something to achieve
Anything, but everything is harder than it seems
College life ruined all of my dreams
Ripped them from my head and tore them from the seams
Every step I take is fucking up my life
So I'll go and drink myself to sleep tonight.
