Lyrics
B-side
My best friends are gone
Far and way beyond
And they left me here
With no one by my side
How can I get by
With no one to try
And pick me back up
When I fall down?
My support has left
Me and I'm bereft
Of the things I need to
Help me make it on through
Now what can I do
With no cheering crew
There to make me feel
Like I don't suck?
Whoa, whoa
There was a brightening day
Whoa, whoa
There was a brightening day
My whole scene has split
They don't give a spit
About anybody else
On Earth but themselves
So we'll burn in hell
And think that it's swell
Just as long as
We get our own rooms
So we'll burn in hell
And think that it's swell
Just as long as
We get our own rooms

Demo
My best friends are gone
Far and way beyond
And they left me here
With no one by my side
To console my tears
And assuage my fears
And pick me back up
When I fall down
On the bedroom floor
Of some hipster bore
Who is celebrating
Just how cool he can be
They watched over me
And believed in me
When nobody else
Could give a damn
What can I do?
What can I do?
I cannot make a move
On the bedroom floor
Of some hipster bore
Who is celebrating
Just how cool he can be
They watched over me
And believed in me
When nobody else
Could give a damn
What can I do?
What can I do?
I cannot make a move
My best friends are gone
Far and way beyond
And they left me here
With no one by my side
To console my tears
And assuage my fears
And pick me back up
When I fall down
To console my tears
And assuage my fears
And pick me back up when I fall down
