Pollen Eyes - Toothache

I'm tired of staying awake
I tried to sleep it off yesterday
Can't find a cure for the headache
That I give myself everyday

Give myself everyday

Take a good look at me
Is it everything you thought it would be
Picture-perfect isn't worth it when I can't fucking sleep
And you're certain I deserve it 'cus Im always so
Mean when you say that I'm overreacting
Just to me, it's not fair when you bring up the past
And I'm completely aware that shit was a disaster
We can talk about it if you wanna, but I don't

I'll never say the things to make you feel like I'm someone that you can depend on

And it was taking every second that I had for myself
Yeah, I lost so much sleep 'cus of the pain in my mouth
And you kept talking about how you're miserable
And how I'm not the way that I was in school
And you were wasted every minute that you had for yourself
Little progress was made, but its getting better now
And when I think about how we lived that way
It still leaves me numb with a bad toothache

It never goes away

You're gonna have to wait and see
If I can be who you expect me to be
See, I get nervous on the surface and it starts at the knees
But I'm working at the courage that I desperately
Need to retain just a normal reaction
I can be somewhere safe and still feel so attacked, and
You're so sick of the place that we keep landing back in
We can talk about it if you wanna, but I dont

I'll never say the things to make you feel like I'm someone that you can depend on

And it was taking every second that I had for myself
Yeah, I lost so much sleep 'cus of the pain in my mouth
And you kept talking about how you're miserable
And how I'm not the way that I was in school
And you were wasted every minute that you had for yourself
Little progress was made, but its getting better now
And when I think about how we lived that way
It still leaves me numb with a bad toothache

When the conversation wore me thin
I'd pick apart your words and then convince you that its what you said
Then I'd just say I'm innocent
I was taking more than I could give
And the thought of it still makes me sick
How it controlled every part of me
No, this isnt who I wanted to be
