This song is just about the sick feeling you get when you see someone you love doing things you know are bad for them. It's also about how you know things are bad for you, but you just do them anyway because they feel good. Power pop anthem for anxiety ridden alcoholics.
lyrics
I wanna die
When you lie
The things you say
Sound so fake, but make it true
I'm not okay
And that's okay
I can't be cool,
I'm always fooled by your displays
I'll be fine
Sick of thinking
You got me hook, line & sinking
so fast... so fast
Im a bitch
Scratch my itch
You always say I'm gonna pay
But never do
Your little slips
My stomach flips
You lie so well, you look like hell
but feel so good
I'm okay
Sick of drinking
You got me hook, line & sinking
so fast, so fast
You're so fucked
And I'm fucked up
I can't pretend this ain't the end....
but then again.....
I'm so sick
Sick of thinking
You got me hook, line & sinking
so fast
so fast.
