Joke me something awful just like kisses on the necks of "best friends"
We're the kids who feel like dead ends
And I want to be known for my hits not just my misses.
I took a shot and didn't even come close

At trust and love and hope.
And the poets are just kids who didn't make it who never had it at all.

And the record wont stop skipping And the lies just wont stop slipping
And besides my reputation's on the line
We can't fake it for the airwaves force our smiles, baby, half dead
From comparing myself to everyone else around me.

Please put the doctor on the phone 'cause I'm not making any sense.
Blame everyone but me for this mess
And my back has been breaking from this heavy heart
We never seemed so far.
I'm hopelessly hopeful, that you're just hopeless enough
But we never had it all...

And the record wont stop skipping And the lies just wont stop slipping
And besides my reputation's on the line
We can't fake it for the airwaves force our smiles, baby, half dead
From comparing myself to everyone else around me.
