glitch

Maybe I'm a glitch 

Maybe I just wasn't meant to happen

Maybe I'm a bitch

That doesn't give a shit about what happens

To me, we don't care what happens, do we?

I try too hard at school

But it doesn't matter anyways

Because all my teachers hate me

And I've given up on my grades

I care too much about how I look

But in the end I still look like shit

My dad tells me to stop being sad

Maybe I should just quit

Quit feeling sorry for myself

Get out of bed and do something else

Other than sit and whine all the time

And stop wasting my life

Maybe I'm a glitch

Maybe I just wasn't meant to happen

Maybe I'm a bitch

That doesn't give a shit about what happens

To me, we don't care what happens, do we?

I've got a fuckton of old songs

I wrote when I was numb and mad

I almost threw them all away

But they reminded me of how glad

I was when I survived 

And didn't die that night in March

When I felt like ending everything

I'm surprised I even got this far

Gotta quit being mad at my dad

Because he's got a lot on his mind

Get out of bed and do something

And stop wasting my life just crying

Maybe I'm a glitch

Maybe I just wasn't meant to happen

Maybe I'm a bitch

That doesn't give a shit about what happens

To me, we don't care what happens, do we?

Maybe I'm just dumb

Because I can't read social cues

Maybe that's because I'm numb

I'm sorry if I'm bad at listening to you

And I am gonna make myself a better life
