Say enough about disappointment
Never mention being afraid
I try each new way to avoid it
Just I do a lot of talking
Say nothing
I should save my head
For the nitrous
Instead of thinking
First I had him in my mouth
Then I had him in my body
I was drunk but I think I liked it
Guess this proves a lot of nothing
Improves nothing
Laughter is my best friend
Nothing hurts like thinking
I'm so afraid of being me
And so afraid of what that means

You had such a kind smile
I'm sad it's gone
If I never say it out loud
It can't be wrong
I left in such a big hurry
Packed nothing real
I just had to get out
You seemed so strong
Not like my forced smiles
You act like such a tough girl
Thought you could deal
If I've been such a bad friend
Who taught you to steal
Now you're gone
And I'm left with forced smiles
Me and my forced smiles

If they'd let my hands
I could set the sun
Just like a brand new god
I've got my dad's old tools
My hand's fit dad's old tools
They're brand name safe
Wish he would make it wine
Or even walk on it
The score is scribbled on the inside
I'll give dad one last chance
To earn his household name

Manny always said, "behave"
He knew I loved to over-exaggerate
I'm admitting this too late
Manny always said restraint
He knew I loved to oversaturate
Manny said and manny said
Manny knew my bad traits
Knew I loved to overmedicate
Manny tried to relate
This I never did appreciate
Dad
I hope I make you proud someday
