lyrics

I'm drinking Tecate and Tequila
In this dingy little bar
And secretly I'm glad you couldn't make it
Cause if you'd attend we'd have to show our friends
How functional we are
And tonight I'm too sad and drunk to fake it
I remember the first time
We got drunk on shitty wine
I remember the first time you saw me naked
And though these days we're mostly clothed
Somehow I feel much more exposed
As though my sense of self has slowly been ablated

I love you
I love you so fucking much
But I can't be myself if I am just your crutch
I guess it's true
I need to love myself first
I can calculate my debt but I can't calculate my worth

Was I anything to you?
Beyond the pictures of me you drew
Flat and static on the page
Trapped inside this graphite cage
But it made me feel so damn important
Living my whole life in your orbit
Floating aimlessly through space
Your light reflecting off my face
I went around, around your ego
You went around, around my head
We went up and down this spiral
But mostly we just stayed in bed

I'm drinking Tecate and Tequila
In my divey hometown bar
And honestly I'm glad you're nowhere near it
Cause if you'd come along you'd just monologue
About your life so far
Well I know that story, I don't want to hear it
You don't need to tell me why
I keep drinking every night
I know I'm searching for a point of reference
And after all that we've been through
I don't want a love that's true
I want one fake enough that I can tell the difference
