Lyrics:

I couldn’t be what I sold you

Or alone with my own thoughts

That’s why you always see me with

My headphones on, my headphones on

You showed me every inch of you

Even the parts you were ashamed of

That’s when I said I’d turn

The camera off, the camera

Now you think that every word I said was made up

Like I was coasting on your love for years

Yeah I fucked it up, but babe I never faked it

Now you got me drowning in, drowning in these

Teenage tears, teenage tears

All I wanna do is hold you

Feel you in the middle of the night

You let your guard down for me

Saying “I’m all yours and this is all mine”

Pour some liquor drink it straight up

My favorite shirt and some Nikes

I promised you I’d take it

If the cops showed up, cops showed up

Now you think that every word I said was made up

Like I was coasting on your love for years

Yeah I fucked it up, but babe I never faked it

You got me drowning in, drowning in these

Now you cleared out all your stuff

With your dad and a moving truck

Left a note on the kitchen table

Saying don’t call, I won’t be waiting

Something that you need to know

Was I for real or all for show?

You’re the first thing I think of when I wake up

And now I wonder how you’re doing

Like I’m asking for a friend

Now we’re changing our passwords

Changing addresses, changing

Now you think that every word I said was made up

Like I was coasting on your love for years

Yeah I fucked it up, but babe I never faked it

You got me drowning in, drowning in these

Teenage tears, teenage tears
