	"could be better forever" on repeat and I think it might be true I "never saw it coming" being better without you I still smoke alone at the spot I return to I still bite my nails all the goddamn time I might not be better forever but tonight at least I think tonight I'm fine I think I'm coming down from the speed my body aches and I cant make sense of all of me the face in the mirror much more gaunt than it used to be and i think i'm gonna pass out' and i think i'm gonna puke but in the end i'm doing my best to pull through and i've been listening to milkshakes and i've been finding better people and i'm pretty sure since moving north i'm in a better state but these massachusetts winters get pretty fucking cold still i'm singing shitty emo and screaming FUCK THE 860 it's snowing outside but tonight i'll be drinking indoors with my friends there's a pain in my throat and it won't go away and I've found myself getting stoned every day i wrote down my reasons to freeze to death but now that notebook's in somebody's basement forgotten, and collecting dust "could be better forever" on repeat and I think it might be true I "never saw it coming" being better without you I still smoke alone at the spot I return to I still bite my nails all the goddamn time I might not be better forever but tonight at least I think tonight I'm fine TRY NOT TO HATE ME (half a pack is not enough to get me through the week tonight i'll be bumming cigs we'll be in parking lots as night fades into dawn but today i'll be just fine)
