Sexy Teenagers - Scream When You Burn

I swear to God it's as simple as this
Ignore all your instincts, and just smile through the shit
Cause in the end it pays off like a knife through the chest
Shattered dreams and broken promises are all I have left
So I'll drink to the sunrise, and sing in the rain
Choke on my own bitterness and get drunk on the pain
That I've built from the inside, laid down brick by brick
I swear to God it's as simple as this

No one said that this would be easy I never expected it to be
But I never thought I'd have to fight for the air that I breathe
So what do you do when the end doesn't come
Your glass keeps getting filled but you're not having any fun
And what do you say when your friends have all left
The party's long over and you're pissed off at best
Complaining won't bring back each exit you've missed
I swear to God it's as simple as this

Let this echo through time so you never forget
This is us at this moment stifled screams and cold sweat
Or take this to your grave, so you don't have to remember
Hating yourself and a wasted September
Hold on to your fears, let sleeping dogs lay
Keep telling yourself that you wanted it this way
Mark your failures as wins, because no one's keeping score
Let everybody think you're the same guy you were before

These hands are wrapped around my neck
Choked by my own fleeting regret
Defined by what I haven't done
You want the scars, but not the blood
