lyrics

you fuck me up like a horoscope
when you want to be sincere
you try so hard to be clever
that you're never clear

i'd bottom for you if you asked me to
but i'm dancing alone in the living room
and you're face down on the floor crying
that you wish you weren't queer

so i'll put my best face forward
but you know what a wreck i can be
i'm always getting in over my head
but never saying what i need

so i'll smile for the timeline and stare at ceilings alone
but i'm still not sure what to tell simone

you tear me down like an old lighthouse
when you ask me to get you high
i try so hard to fix things
that i'm never fine

you say can't really love me cause you hate yourself
you're too tired and broken to crawl up from hell
and now i'm texting into a black hole
that i'll never understand your mind

you put on your deepest scowl
but i know how kind you can be
a pillow princess flat on your back
afraid of what your weakness means

so i'll take your paintings off the wall block you from my phone
but i'm still not sure what to tell simone

dressing down won't save you from the pain of being seen
hiding yourself in a sea of cis machines
you can find a wife who'll carry, be the mother of your dreams
but to them you'll always be a faggot just like me

you can't take anything else from me
cause i've got nothing left but sympathy, pity
and the restless lonely energy of the freedom you gave me

i'll put my best face forward
but you know what a mess i can be
i'm always getting in over my head
but never saying what i need

so i'll throw away this dead bouquet and bury it in my bones
but i'm still not sure what to tell simone
