lyrics

i'm not myself any more
i thought that's what i wanted i was sure
i'll tell my best friends i was wrong
i'll tell my best friends i was wrong
i hate myself
i don't wanna bother you
i'm annoying
and i know you hate me too

so i become an asshole
to my friends and my loved ones
i push everyone away
just in case i self destruct
i know that it's not the right way to go
i know that it's not the right way to go

and now i never wear my seat belt
driving faster through the snow
two lies i tell myself
make it easier
easier to let go

i hate your face
i love the cold
