I don't know what I did wrong

Where,

in the grand scheme of things,

did I fuck up so badly?


Cuz all these good friends aren't so great after all

And all these cool people are freezing in the shade they throw to others

I guess that includes me now


But I had a peer

To sit with me on the other side

Toes touching the cold and night hair illuminated by the sunlight

Yet even now she's decided to get up and leave me


When my heart's trying its best to warm,

it still gives everyone else frostbite

And drives them away with the needle's swarm


So while these old friends giggle in the warm fields,

They still sulk back to the icy side With a hiss and a glare

Hiding there

They just keep their stare


Hitting rock bottom

Has been keeping me down

Especially when the helping hand

Gives me a shove back to the cold, hard ground
