Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My biggest flaw is a total lack of self control
I have a sadness that I can't console
I only had a drink to escape my thoughts
Saying: "Flaws don't make you special, they just make you flawed,"
"What doesn't kill you makes you wish that it had"
And "Good things happen to people that are bad"
So when the party came to life, I wish I'd stayed in bed
But when I went to say goodbye, all of my friends said:
[Verse 2]
"Oh boy, here comes the killjoy…
Chill the hell out; you're so young!
Just shut up, you're bringing me down
And parties are supposed to be fun."
[Verse 3]
Look:
I don't wanna be a buzzkill!
I hate to be a buzzkill!
Look:
I don't wanna be a buzzkill
But this life is dumb and I just don't want it
I hate to be a buzzkill
So I cry and I cry and I just can't stop it
[Verse 4]
Well, I was changing the world, but got distracted by my telephone
In every crowded room I feel unnaturally alone
It's like I'm living in a dream but all the characters are me
I'm disillusioned by the world and I am filled with apathy
All of the cheaters prosper and all of the quitters win
And he's your president because you voted for him!
So when the party came to life – well, I imagined I was dead
And that's when I began to cry and that's when all my friends said:
[Verse 5]
"Oh boy, here comes the killjoy…
Chill the hell out; you're so young!
Just shut up, you're bringing me down
And parties are supposed to be fun."
[Verse 6]
Look:
I don't wanna be a buzzkill!
I hate to be a buzzkill!
Look:
I don't wanna be a buzzkill
But this life is dumb and I just don't want it
I hate to be a buzzkill
So I cry and I cry and I just can't stop it
[Verse 7]
I don't wanna be a buzzkill, but I am
I hate your city and I miss my dad
And of course you're really happy, mate; it's only 'cause you're slammed
So I'm gonna kill all the buzz – bang bang!
I don't wanna be a buzzkill, but I'm sad as hell!
Help! When I wake up it's bad as hell!
Help me! No, you don't give a damn
So I'm gonna kill all the buzz – bang bang!
[Verse 8]
Look:
I don't wanna be a buzzkill
But this life is dumb and I just don't want it
I hate to be a buzzkill
So I cry and I cry and I just can't stop it
Look:
I don't wanna be a buzzkill
But this life is dumb and I just don't want it
I hate to be a buzzkill
So I cry and I cry and I just can't stop it
