>> So, here's a toast to wasted time

>> [music]

>> and all the energy I put into these

[singing] people.

>> [music]

>> I'm letting go just to free my mind

cuz I'm finally who I said I'd be for

the first time.

>> [music]

>> It took some hard times.

I hope [singing] it makes you happy

And when you lose it all,

>> [music]

>> And that you get

what you deserve.

[ __ ] tapping into all my last nerves.

>> [music]

But I digress. Just [singing] another

Just a day in the life of an

aspirational bad [ __ ]

>> [music]

>> I'm doing my best.

>> [music]

>> At least I know [singing] I tried.

I can't say that for you. I have

feelings, too, but you should know

still love you, though.

So, here's a toast to the ones who hurt

me most. [singing]
