Lately
Teen Suicide Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This band's so boring
I wouldn't pay a cent
To watch them play
I don't think they could write
A song to save their lives
I don't get the hype
Stand in a crowded room and
Pretend im having fun
When they don't even
Pretend to have fun
Lately i'm so bored
By people who
Aren't bored by people too
I don't know about you




But i guess it's just no fun
When i'm the only one
