making the bed

Want it, so I got it, did it, so it's done

Another thing I ruined, I used to do for fun

Another piece of plastic, I could just throw away

Another conversation with nothing good to say

I thought it, so I said it, took it 'cause I can

Another day pretendin' I'm older than I am

Another perfect moment that doesn't feel like mine

Another thing I forced to be a sign

Well, sometimes I feel like I don't wanna be where I am

Gettin' drunk at a club with my fair-weather friends

Push away all the people who know me the best

But it's me who's been makin' the bed

I'm so tired of bein' the girl that I am

Every good thing has turned into somethin' I dread

And I'm playin' the victim so well in my head

But it's me who's been makin' the bed

Me who's been makin' the bed

Pull the sheets over my head, yeah

Makin' the bed

And every night, I wake up from this one recurrin' dream

Where I'm drivin' through the city and the brakes go out on me

I can't stop at the red light, I can't swerve off the road

I read somewhere it's 'cause my life feels so out of control

And I tell someone I love them just as a distraction

They tell me that they love me like I'm some tourist attraction

They're changin' my machinery and I just let it happen

I got the things I wanted, it's just not what I imagined

Well, sometimes I feel like I don't wanna be where I am

Gettin' drunk at a club with my fair-weather friends

Push away all the people who know me the best

But it's me who's been makin' the bed

I'm so tired of bein' the girl that I am

Every good thing has turned into somethin' I dread

And I'm playin' the victim so well in my head

But it's me who's been makin' the bed

Me who's been makin' the bed

Pull the sheets over my head, yeah

Makin' the bed

Sometimes I feel like I don't wanna be where I am

Countin' all of the beautiful things I regret

But it's me who's been makin' the bed

Me who's been makin' the bed

Pull the sheets over my head

Makin' the bed, oh
