You Know
Off-Color Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't wanna end up like you
On the bottom with no friends except your therapist, you did not take
Anyway

I don't wanna end up like you
But the signs start to show, I need space for my own mental problems i'm not feeling that great, I should be my priority
I need to heal
Go and have a drink tonight you fucking saint
I wanna help, but at this point, there is nothing more to say
Life could be cool, but you make it feel cruel

You self righteous bitch
I know you'll hate this song
But you act like jesus, after you've done wrong

My childhood memories all faded away
I mean is there more to say ?
I don't wanna be rude but i do it anyway
Cause, i'm the piece of shit delivered by your fate

Go and have a drink tonight you fucking saint
I wanna help, but at this point, there is nothing more to say
Life could be cool, but this is how i feel

My girl says i've got mommy issues
My friends diagnose me with my dad
Guess what i've got it all
Did you ever take a second to ask if i'm still okay?

Go and have a drink tonight you fucking saint




I wanna help, but at this point, there is nothing more to say
Life could be cool, but this is how i feel
