[Music]

life isn't quite what i thought i'd be

when i was a kid on voip i thought when

i get older i'd marry her i

told her now i'm 26 and i work in an

office nine till

five's not the best i'll be honest if i

could change a single thing

i'd make it me and not him

he's in your bed i'm in your twitch chat

i've got the key and he's just a doormat

and even though he's got social skills

that doesn't mean

i can't pay the bills anyway make the

most of him

cause she moves on pretty bloody quick

your new boyfriend's an

[Music]

the one who took you away from me you

hit it off instantly

i know cause you won't stop telling me

seeing his jawline shoulders and muscles

push against his fashion sense

i've thought about what he looks like

nude i'm not gay though

oh she's living the dream back when we

were 17

she's living

oh she's living the dream from back when

we were

17 how on earth could i be

safe when i'm one click away from insane

i just think that i deserve

a little bit of what i earned i'm not

gonna make another scene

the one i made when i was 23 means i'm

not allowed in disney world

[Music]

but he's in your bed and i'm in your

twitch chat

i've got the key and he's just a doormat

even though he's got social skills that

doesn't mean i can't pay the bills

anyway make the most of him cause she

moves on for you bloody quick

your new boyfriend's an

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

i want you to care

i want to smell your head
