lyrics

You finally got tired of getting fucked up in your room and feeling sad, so write a send off to every failed relationship you've ever had, take a step out of the cycle, obsession over every past mistake, you'll never patch up all the cracks when you make more with each step you retrace.

So here's the letter you came up with, it won't convince the cynics but to you it's more than adequate:

I truly forgive you even though I still don't think you're right and I know that it must piss you off to hear that come from me, but guess what -- I am not a punching bag and I don't exist to reaffirm your worldview, you're not the center of my universe and I don't want to be in the center of yours.

I don't exist to make you happy, and I'm sorry if I had to be the one to remind you the truth hurts sometimes. But I'm not looking for your approval when I choose to remind myself that:

You are still a human, yes you're human, you're still human and that's more than anybody grants me half the time it feels like, and every human is still human even if they make you mad, so it's your choice do you stay bitter or cheer the fuck up because it's not that bad

If I learned anything from Malvina Reynolds then I know it's better to believe in yourself even if they call you an asshole and if I learned anything from the way they talked about Howard Zinn it's true, someone out there is waiting to call you an asshole no matter what you do

Every human is still human even if they make you mad, so please stay human, don't get bitter, please cheer up it's not that bad.
