Grinding Teeth - Youth Fountain

You tell me and all your friends

How you don’t need me anymore

How you don’t need me anymore

And who the fuck am I kidding?

I know how this goes now

You never needed me like I needed you

So why the hell do I still wish you well?

You’ll never know me like you think you do

As if it ever mattered 'cause after all, you don’t need me anymore

Do you at least now see how much this means to me?

I can’t wait another day

You’ve left me not knowing what to do (What to do)

I beg you to stay, you act like you don’t want to (Don't want to)

I grind my teeth, I am losing sleep

These one-way conversations made me want to hate you

But I can’t hate you (I can’t hate you)

Weighted down by things you’ve said

I’m staring in your eyes, they’re dead

How can practice make us perfect, if our perfect is nothing?

And these choices I’m making are from promises you’re breaking

Looking back on those wasted years, what was I thinking?

I can’t wait another day

You’ve left me not knowing what to do (What to do)

I beg you to stay, you act like you don’t want to (Don't want to)

I grind my teeth, I am losing sleep

These one-way conversations made me want to hate you

These conversations made me hate you

These conversations made me hate you

Let’s bring you up to speed

This is the last you’ll hear from me (The last you’ll hear from me)

Here’s a note all in hopes

You’ll find my aspirations at the end of this rope (The end of this rope)

It’ll make you see what this meant to me

Now you’re just a witness at a tragedy

Now you’re just a witness at a tragedy

I died all alone, just like I knew all along

That’s how it always played out in my head

Since I was a fucked up kid

And I was holding my breath about this

So when these tired lungs just caved

I knew I’d never be something you’d miss

And deep down through this façade you see

I just couldn’t be the better man you hoped I could be
