Storyboard for a pessimist by Misplaced Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can't fall asleep because I heard the things you said last week
And no, I don't wanna text back, because there's never any use in that
I wanna touch the sky but I've got ties upon my wrist that grip so tight
Please help me reach out from the pitch black
Fuck, I miss having a clear head
[Chorus]
You're not meant for me, I'm not meant for you
But I'm hoping that I'm better than your next dude
And I don't care if that upsets you
'Cause now I can see all you do is use
So I'm taking back the songs I wrote about you
I really wish I never met you
[Post-Chorus]
I've been lying to my friеnds to get them off of my back
I know they mеan well, but I don't want to hear that
I'm just a cynical piece of shit
A storyboard for a pessimist
[Verse 2]
And I don't get why you pretend that everyone you know is like you're biggest fucking friend
'Cause I can count on two hands all the times you hate on them
But then you send them heart emojis into their DMs
[Chorus]
You're not meant for me, I'm not meant for you
But I'm hoping that I'm better than your next dude
And I don't care if that upsets you
'Cause now I can see all you do is use
So I'm taking back the songs I wrote about you
I really wish I never met you
[Outro]
Guess I'm back where I belong
Left here scrolling through my phone
Lock me up 'cause there's no solace in my headspace now at all
Guess I'm back where I belong
Push me right into a hole
Filled with concrete 'cause I never want to see your face at all
I can't fall asleep because I heard the things you said last week
And no, I don't wanna text back, because there's never any use in that
I wanna touch the sky but I've got ties upon my wrist that grip so tight
Please help me reach out from the pitch black
Fuck, I miss having a clear head
[Chorus]
You're not meant for me, I'm not meant for you
But I'm hoping that I'm better than your next dude
And I don't care if that upsets you
'Cause now I can see all you do is use
So I'm taking back the songs I wrote about you
I really wish I never met you
[Post-Chorus]
I've been lying to my friеnds to get them off of my back
I know they mеan well, but I don't want to hear that
I'm just a cynical piece of shit
A storyboard for a pessimist
[Verse 2]
And I don't get why you pretend that everyone you know is like you're biggest fucking friend
'Cause I can count on two hands all the times you hate on them
But then you send them heart emojis into their DMs
[Chorus]
You're not meant for me, I'm not meant for you
But I'm hoping that I'm better than your next dude
And I don't care if that upsets you
'Cause now I can see all you do is use
So I'm taking back the songs I wrote about you
I really wish I never met you
[Outro]
Guess I'm back where I belong
Left here scrolling through my phone
Lock me up 'cause there's no solace in my headspace now at all
Guess I'm back where I belong
Push me right into a hole
Filled with concrete 'cause I never want to see your face at all
