Hello, we regret to inform you that you've missed out on this one time opportunity. It's never going to be. Is this how it's supposed to feel? You thought you'd be better by now, maybe this is all a bad dream?
lyrics
Intro:
Hello, we regret to inform you that you have missed out on this one time opportunity
We hope that this news has not negatively affected you
Verse 1:
Tell me why I feel so dizzy
Tell me why the room keeps spinning
I don't think it's how it's supposed to be
Lying in my bed hunched over
Even though I'm stone cold sober
Maybe this is all a bad dream
Chorus 1:
And I'd build me up
But it hurts more when I fall
I'd pick it up
Oh but you never call
And I've let me down
More times than I can count
I thought that I'd
Be better by now
Verse 2:
It's getting harder to pretend I'm
Tired of coming to your defense when
There's no saving it
Your reputation
Maybe it's the scars you left or
Maybe it's always been in my head but
There's no saving it
It's permanent
Chorus 2:
And I'd build me up
But it hurts more when I fall
I'd pick it up
Oh but you never call
And you've let me down
More times than I can count
And I thought that I'd
Be better by now
Build:
You don’t need other people
You’re better on your own
You can’t be independent
'Cause you cannot be alone
Acquaint yourself with failure
You’ll find you like the taste
You had so much potential
And you let it go to waste
It’s never getting better
It’s only getting worse
They say to count your blessings
When all that you see is cursed
It’s never going to be
It’s always could have been
You’re never going to change
And you’re never going to win
It’s never going to be (repeats)
