lyrics

Now you're walking around thinking everyone owes you something
But you don't know how it feels to be lonely
You're just a talking head
Listen to what you're friends say, I don't matter anyway
I guess I should let go
I'm holding out for what now? I deserve to be happy
I need to just walk away

You're running out on me again
You always treat me like a ghost
You're running out on me again, you're cold
I reckon I should make new friends
I never see my old ones anymore
They're probably wondering where I've been, I'm cold

Now I'm walking around, treating everyone like they're nothing
But I don't know how it's going to affect me five years down the road
Try to listen to what you're friends say, she's no good anyway
You should just let go
But it's so hard when I'm scared to be lonely
I just wish I was dead

You're running out on me again
You always treat me like a ghost
You're running out on me again, you're cold
I reckon I should make new friends
I never see my old ones anymore
They're probably wondering where I've been, I'm cold
