Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm not a bad guy
So don't treat me bad if I'm feeling sad, alright?
Please don't be mad if I don't smile back, alright?
If I fuck up my words, don't think I'm absurd, alright?
Alright?
[Verse 2]
I'm physically exhausted, tired of my knuckles beating
I'm chewing gum to pass this time of sadness, can't you see it?
You're too busy seeking selfish wishes, look at how I'm feeling
You write me up and say it's love and I can't believe it
[Verse 3]
Baby, can you meet me tonight in detention?
I can feel your blood pressure rise, fuck this tension
Let me crawl up into your mind, did I mention?
Pretending everything's alright is detention
[Verse 4]
De-de-detention
De-de-detention
Pretending everything's alright is (Shh)
[Verse 5]
The teachers don't care about me
Fuck how I feel as long as I make money
They let them do whatever they want to me
They're the customer, I'm chopped meat
I'm chopped meat
[Verse 6]
I'm physically exhausted, tired of my knuckles beating
I'm chewing gum to pass this time of sadness, can't you see it?
You're too busy seeking selfish wishes, look at how I'm feeling
You write me up and say it's love and I can't believe it
[Verse 7]
Baby, can you meet me tonight in detention?
I can feel your blood pressure rise, fuck this tension
Let me crawl up into your mind, did I mention?
Pretending everything's alright is detention
[Verse 8]
De-de-detention
De-de-detention
Pretending everything's alright is detention
[Verse 9]
I wanna go home and you say, "Now is not the time"
Fuck being all alone in back of the classroom, ah
Stop calling up my phone tryna say that I've been out of line
When all I ever asked was to go to the bathroom
[Verse 10]
Baby, can you meet me tonight in detention?
I can feel your blood pressure rise, fuck this tension
Let me crawl up into your mind, did I mention?
Pretending everything's alright is detention
[Verse 11]
Tonight
I can feel your blood pressure rise
Let me crawl up into your mind
Pretending everything's alright
Is detention
