town crier

Lingered in the doorway
I tried so hard
To seem so effortless
I doubted all of my chirping
As though my words were the parts that mattered
Pay me attention
Agree with the sentiment
Bat an eyelash
My boy said that I seemed
Older than the girls my age
Who fixed my eyes in the bathroom
Where I lay crying screaming crazy
Wah
Wah
Wah
Wah
Wah
Wah
Wah
Wah

Please prove to me
That it wasn't just all my fault
Look at how much i've grown
Now I spend all of my time alone
Unidolize
And practice self forgiveness
Look at how much I've grown
Now I spend all of my time alone

I was
Spending every weekend
On my knees
Seek unsure-lonely cure
In the altar I'd look for your eyes in
Which was the mirror on your desk
You praised your
Self-assurdness seemed conceited
Something no one wants to be
Lets gather round the ashtray
Who's the next top sad-sack
Wah
Wah

Wah
Wah
Wah

Please prove to me
That it wasn't just all my fault
Look at how much I've grown
Now I spend all of my time alone
Unidolize
And practice self forgiveness
Look at how much i've grown
Now I spend all of my time alone

There's a name I keep repeating
Shut me up with lips & limerence
Cure heartbreak in the arms of my next loss
I'll put the shovel down
Then i'll stop digging
