Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Can't you see I'm trying?
I don't even like it, I just lied to
Get to your apartment, now I'm staying
There just for a while
I can't think 'cause I'm just way too tired
[Chorus]
Is this it?
Is this it?
Is this it?
[Verse 2]
Said they'd give you anything you ever wanted
When they lied, I knew it was just stable children
Trying hard not to realize I was sitting right behind them
[Bridge]
Dear, can't you see? It's them, it's not me
We're not enemies, we just disagree
If I was like him, all pissed in this bar
He changes his mind, says I went too far
We all disagree
I think we should disagree, yeah
[Chorus]
Is this it?
Is this it?
Is this it?
[Verse 3]
Can't you see I'm trying?
I don't even like it, I just lied to
Get to your apartment, now I'm staying
There just for a while
I can't think 'cause I'm just way too tired
