Lately I’ve been sitting with my feet up, head down
Breathing round in circles in my hometown
Coming down and wishing I was drowning in a sundown
I’m freezing in my dressing gown, drink is cold but heart is gold
I practice what I preach and I’m whispering what’s untold
I’m 22 years old, scared of writing poems
My fingers bleed when I’m alone, my thoughts are growing cold
I keep on wishing for these songs, they do me no wrong
It’s 12 o’clock now and I’m waiting for my phone call
(my thoughts are growing cold
I keep on wishing for these songs, they do me no wrong
It’s 12 o’clock now and I’m waiting for my phone call )
Don’t steal my mf shine
Don’t steal my mf guy
Sometimes I barely even try
I put some posion in my mind, mind, mind mind
Don’t steal my mf shine
Don’t steal my mf guy
Sometimes I barely even try
I put some posion in my mind, mind, mind mind
Shoot myself in the head
On my teenage portraits
On the future flower beds
Oh I wish that I was dead
I try, I try, I try
Jag lovar jag tror det är sant, sanningen har jagat mig sen 17 år
Jag verkar inte rädda den, är rädd för den
Har alltid velat vad ska bli men nu har huvudet mitt försonats med en annan flickas liv
Det står ba still
Som det brinn, brinn, brinn
Skogen finns mig inte mer, jag tappar fötterna från jorden ser du vad jag ser
Jag tror inte att ni vill det
Vingarna runt benet hälsa solen när vi ses*
Shoot myself in the head
On my teenage portraits
On the future flower beds
Oh I wish that I was dead
Shoot myself in the head
On my teenage portraits
On the future flower beds
Oh I wish that I was dead, dead, dead

*VERSE 2 TRANSLATION
I try, I try, I try
I promise, I believe it’s true
The truth’s been haunting me since I was 17
I can’t save it but I’m scared of it
Always wanted what’s to be but my head has found its purpose in another human being
It’s standing still
And it kills, kills, kills
I can’t see the forest, losing balance, can you see what I see
I don’t think you’d agree
Wings around my legs, greet the sun and now I’m free
