lyrics

I wish I had answers to your questions
but you should know that I have questions of my own
like “could you not?” and “do you mind?”
cuz all your words do is remind me
that I’m forever alone

I understand you’re just trying to be helpful
when you say "it’ll happen someday"
but see that’s one thing you can’t guarantee
cuz not everything in life is “meant to be”
So I’ll stay "forever alone"

You act like it’s not for a lack of trying
that I’ve been shooting too high or out of my league
and just because they’re selling something I ain’t buying
doesn’t mean I don’t want the same things

So I’ll answer all your cliches
with some cliches of my own
to make you think I’m not "forever alone"

*whistle solo*

I try my best not to let it under my skin
but my patience sometimes wears thin

If I get invited just one more time
to a wedding where the bride is 25
I swear to god…

I’m not trying to say that I’m better than them
Cuz I’m not everyone’s cup of tea
And it’s not that I don’t think it can’t happen
it’s the fear that the things I want, don’t want me

So I’m sorry I can’t make you feel better
but the truth is: I don’t have to

So maybe one day if the person’s right
they’ll make me feel it was worth the fight
to be "forever alone"
of being "forever alone"
