I thought that we were partners in crime
But I’m the only one who ever got charged
And the store won’t take back my disease
They say there’s no refund for [beat] misery
I don’t even know your name
I’ll call you anything any day
You said the night is young and so are we
And I believed you
I thought we’d die young together
When I stopped making wishes on eyelashes
It turned out I was a falling star
Doing just what you asked me to
I thought I found love alone in the woods
With pupils as big as they could
I got a kiss hello and punch goodbye
Just another way to get bloodshot eyes
You couldn’t even sell me for parts
So send my organs out for repair
Time is irrelevant
And I am irreverent
I thought we’d die young together
When I stopped making wishes on eyelashes
It turned out I was a falling star
Doing just what you asked me to
Oh momma I know you taught me to do better
But I’m not good at doing what I’m told
I don’t know how to think and I can’t even feel myself anymore
There’s just this ringing that won’t stop
I thought we’d die young together
When I stopped making wishes on eyelashes
It turned out I was a falling star
Doing just what you asked me to
