These are the days of wasted youth, ooh ooh ooh I remember having seventeen candles lined across a birthday cake And having no idea what the fuck I was gonna do I’m all grown up now but have I changed since high school? Cause I still feel like one of those awkward kids, kissing everybody’s ass just to fit in And I know the reaper’s got me on the run But I feel a genesis in these lungs Youth ain’t wasted on the young All we have is right now The past is gone like a bird set free to the clouds We are born with every second that goes by So let’s live like we’ll never die, we are born for life I remember summer 2016 when I first got my heart broken And there was no accountability or insurance for the damage Suicide letters written by the tears of two brown eyes Sometimes the rain falls down so you can flower to the sky All we have is right now (all we have is right now) The past is gone like a bird set free to the clouds (like a bird set free, yeah) We are born with every second that goes by (every second that goes by) So let’s live like we’ll never die, we are born for life Born for life Born for life It’s not the end, lift your head and breathe in We are born again (We got our fists raised up to Jesus, high on life nothing can beat us We are born to start over again) And all the kids sing Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Dear heart, I know this world is a scary place for me and you And I’m so sorry for everything I put you through Cause sometimes I can be such a fool Believing happily ever afters are tried and true Ow! Some days I really hate the Internet for what it’s done to my life Cause I’ve been living through a screen, unintentionally setting myself up for disappointment every time So many out of my league but they’re the drug that I need I’m a kid window shopping, building castles in the air Think I need help, why do I do this to myself? Cause any day of the week I’m thinking We ain’t getting any younger baby I tied all common sense to a noose, I’m ready to do something reckless with you And I’m in the mood to catch feelings so Where are you love? Tell me, how can I find you? Are you lost somewhere in a crowded place, waiting for me to call your name? Love, come and save me I refuse to be lonely I’ve crossed all seven seas doing stupid things for you So don’t wake the dream of a hopeless romantic fool Oh oh oh oh (I’m just a hopeless romantic fool) Oh oh oh Sometimes I get overwhelmed Most toxic trait is running my emotions through hell As I swipe right and left, I know this feeling all too well Cause most of these guys don’t want me back, won’t text me back and I’ll overreact And it sucks cause I want love so damn bad Is it clear that I’m a lovesick maniac? You see, I’m always overthinking And I fucking hate it I might be kinda desperate but I can’t really help it With a phone left for dead, I didn’t know I was a haunted house to be ghosted again and again Where are you love? Tell me, how can I find you? Are you lost somewhere in a crowded place, waiting for me to call your name? Ooh love, come and save me I refuse to be lonely I’ve crossed all seven seas doing stupid things for you Listen I’m over 25 and ain’t got time to play it cool I’m looking for the Adam to my Steve cause I was born to break the rules You’re kinda sorta my type and something bout you drives me wild You make me touch myself sometimes, don’t be the guy to let me down Cause nothing hurts like the words we should just be friends Especially if you’re the one on the receiving end Love don’t do this to me again Cause nothing hurts like the words we should just be friends, ow! Nothing hurts ‘less you’re the one with love unrequited Back on the merry go round again Where are you love? Where are you love? There’s a heart that’s waiting for you Where are you love? Tell me, how can I find you? Are you lost somewhere in a crowded place, waiting for me to scream your name? Love, come and save me I refuse to be lonely I’ve crossed all seven seas doing stupid things for you So don’t wake the dream of a hopeless romantic fool Oh oh a hopeless romantic fool Oh oh a hopeless romantic (Hayley Rawcliffe [Background]): “We’re just throwing out our numbers, we’re like that sounds right!”

(Johnny Moran): “Maybe it just feels like… nice… to have attention!” Oh, I wish that I was someone special Wish I had lovers lined up around the block cause they just can’t leave me alone Oh, here I go being emotional But what’s a boy to do when life’s a bitch that left you in a world so cold I’m at war with the man in the mirror He makes my flaws seem bigger Til I drive myself crazy with self doubt Got stupid insecurities on my sleeve now They’re starting to bleed out But God forbid a man lets his guard down Oh, why can’t I be perfect? Ohoh, as long as I live I’ll be trying (to be perfect, to be perfect) Oh, why can’t I be perfect? Ohoh, as long as I live I’ll be trying (to be perfect, to be perfect) Oh, I wish I had a cookie cutter life Cause all of my friends have all their shit together, while time is passing me by Oh, I just wanna feel good enough But I’m so dramatic and complicated Don’t wanna be that guy that’s holding up the wall at the party Cause depression is my only friend Oh, why can’t I be perfect? Ohoh, as long as I live I’ll be trying (to be perfect, to be perfect) I said oh, why can’t I be perfect? Ohoh, as long as I live I’ll be trying (to be perfect, to be perfect) Way oh oh oh oh Way oh oh oh oh Way oh oh oh oh Way oh oh oh oh x2 I’m a mess, Trying my hardest To be greater than second best But I’m still a work in progress I’m a mess With a perfection complex Trying to do what my therapist says So sick of hating myself x2 Oh, why can’t I be perfect? Ohoh, as long as I live I’ll be trying (to be perfect, to be perfect) Oh, why can’t I be perfect? Ohoh, as long as I live I’ll be trying (to be perfect, to be perfect) Way oh oh oh oh Way oh oh oh oh Way oh oh oh oh Way oh oh oh oh x2 (Alina Martinez): “No no she doesn’t love you, she was talking about your hair before.”

So turn it up it’s been a long night and I’ve been drinking Cause lately I’ve been in my feelings And I’ll do anything to just stop thinking Ohohohoh So turn it up here goes another shitty song about trauma Cause everybody’s got real problems But were we ever given tools to solve ‘em? I was raised without emotions so I don’t feel a thing even though the little boy in me is suffering It’s okay, I’ll be fine, this whiskey’s hitting my gut just right I build walls to keep them out because I don’t have a heart even though deep down I’m nothing but a house of cards But I’m okay, why would I need help? There’s no need to express myself Cause sticks and stones may kill my vibe but you will never see a tear fall from these eyes Cause no matter what comes my way I’m the academy award winner for faking a smile Boys don’t cry when they hurt We just pretend we’re okay Even though that makes it worse Boys don’t cry when they hurt And sometimes it feels like a curse Boys don’t cry when they hurt We’re taught to mask how we feel Pain is a privilege reserved for the girls, oh yeah So boys don’t cry when they hurt And it’s the saddest thing in the world I was raised to think that weakness isn’t in my DNA Even though I’m a prisoner to the harsh truth reality throws my way But it’s cool, it’s no big deal who really needs empathy anyway? Cause boys will be boys you know Skin so thick with a stone cold soul Everyone’s a sucker for the hero, putting on the greatest show But they never ask what’s really going on below oh Boys don’t cry when they hurt We just pretend we’re okay Even though that makes it worse Boys don’t cry when they hurt And sometimes it feels like a curse Boys don’t cry when they hurt We’re taught to mask how we feel Pain is a privilege reserved for the girls, oh yeah So boys don’t cry when they hurt And it’s the saddest thing in the world The weight of the world is on my ego I wish this stigma wasn’t lethal Cause I’m broken like you wouldn’t believe If fear could kill I’d be deceased I wish chromosomes didn’t define my being It’s hard always having to be so strong When all you wanna do is just let go Bottled up trauma is the key To fragile masculinity We could all use a little therapy, yeah yeah Boys don’t cry when they hurt we just pretend we’re okay Even though that makes it worse Boys don’t cry when they hurt and sometimes it feels like a curse Boys don’t cry when they hurt We’re taught to mask how we feel Pain is a privilege reserved for the girls, oh yeah So boys don’t cry when they hurt And it’s the saddest thing in the world It’s the saddest thing in the world It’s the saddest thing in the world Boys don’t cry and it’s the saddest thing Would it be okay if I cried just a little? Would you judge me if I cried just a little? Cause I’m afraid to cry just a little so I hide just a little and die just a little inside

I am human, I’m on the edge of breaking down every day every day And fears are looming like a redwood watching over San Francisco Bay, every day Taking my head out of the clouds was the craziest thing I ever did yet I’m supposed to believe that life is what you make it I’ve got an albatross pulling at my hair The price I paid for life ain’t worth this cross I bear The jaws of perfection are hungry for a little peace of mind I’ve fallen into this labyrinth cause rose-colored glasses made me blind And please God take away this heavy glass of water from my hands so I can breathe again I am human, I am only flesh and blood what more can I do? And clouds of confusion paint the sky cause this life’s no walk through Central Park in June and truth is sometimes you lose yeah I’ve got an albatross pulling at my hair The price I paid for life ain’t worth this cross I bear The jaws of perfection are hungry for a little peace of mind I’ve fallen into this labyrinth cause rose-colored glasses made me blind And please God take away this heavy glass of water from my hands so I can breathe again I’ve got my back against the wall and growing pains consuming me Got me thinking, does life get better after 17? Cause I’m young, I’m black and queer got judgment everywhere I breathe constantly feeling society feed my anxiety And honestly big ups to all my niggas trying to make ends meet in a world where institutional troubles may follow we When they say that we ain’t fit for the American dream we still the shit middle fingers to every glass ceiling I’m overflowing, falling slowly Take this cup from me I’ve got an albatross pulling at my hair The price I paid for life ain’t worth this cross I bear The jaws of perfection are hungry for a little peace of mind I’ve fallen into this labyrinth cause rose-colored glasses made me blind And please God take away this heavy glass of water from my hands so I can breathe, yeah I am human, just one breath away from breaking down

It’s awkward, it’s silent The earth stood still, it’s quiet All I wonder is how do I move on? We were so right at the wrong time, maybe someday in another life but I’ll miss you in everything I do I thought we could grow old together cause you meant everything but we were eroded by acid rain, here comes the pain Damn it I hate this part This is the moment I start falling apart Tell me, if there’s good in goodbye then where’s the justice for a broken heart? Damn it I hate these tears I just wanted to be perfect for you But now I have to pretend I’m okay seeing you with somebody new I really really fucking hate this part I hate this part What happened? I felt the connection What made you change your mind and regret it? I was transparent and showed you all my flaws I thought you’d be different, I’ll admit Still at a loss for where we dropped the ball I ache to see you leave cause losing you’s the catalyst for my downfall Damn it I hate this part This is the moment I start falling apart Tell me, if there’s good in goodbye then where’s the justice for a broken heart? Damn it I hate these tears I just wanted to be perfect for you But now I have to pretend I’m okay seeing you with somebody new Damn it I hate this My hell is hanging on to every letter of the last words that you said And watching you walk away, counting every step inside my head Damn it I hate this part I swear to god that not a day goes by that I ain’t losing sleep wondering if we could ever make it right Damn it I hate these tears, nothing could ever break my heart like you but now I have to pretend I’m okay, seeing you with somebody new Damn it I hate this part I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it I hate it, hate it, hate it Damn it I hate this part I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it Hate it, hate it Damn!

I lost my mind down on Mulholland Drive I got more issues than the traffic to the Hollywood sign And I’m so afraid to face the world so I don’t leave my bed Don’t wanna grow up and kill the youth still living inside my head Who can I trust or call a friend when the city of angels sins in shadows? Nothing like the stars on Hollywood Boulevard to remind me how I’m all alone Mom and dad I’m sorry I’m not the child star that you wanted Maybe someday you’ll love me for who I am outside a cold, dark closet I ran a thousand hills and valleys to paralyze reality But in this town is anyone ever truly happy? If there’s no rain in LA Why does my heart have to break? Ignoring just how I feel won’t make these clouds roll away If there’s no rain in LA Am I naive to believe things could change? I pray the Weatherman’s forecast will be on my side So I can be allowed to cry Flood this paper town tonight Everybody hurts sometimes We’re all kinda broken, it’s okay to let skies open And cry

Put your hands high and snap your fingers like this, Fingers like this Fingers like this Put your hands high and snap your fingers like this And the beat goes 1-2-3 And I feel the shock steal all the oxygen that I breathe Disappointment is a disease That makes giving up so easy But always remember to let your feelings show Cause pride don’t make you strong So let your heart break Let your heart break just a little Let your heart break In the end you’ll find you’ll be okay Let your heart break, ooh Let your heart break And the beat goes 1-2-3 And I’m taking shots to the head to just numb everything We tightrope walk on our feelings like our tears are a crime Even machines let themselves be broken sometimes So let your heart break Let your heart break just a little Let your heart break In the end you’ll find you’ll be okay So let your heart break just a little Breathe in, breathe out let the stress play second fiddle The rain clouds roll in with the thunder and the drizzle But the pain is only temporary trauma on your mental (for rizzle) Cause time will heal your wounds if you let it Eventually you’ll see that trying times lead to a blessing So fuck the negativity and kill the madness Ashes to ashes, throw dust to the motherfucking masses, singing Na na na na Hey hey hey hey Na na na na na hey Na na na na na hey x2 (These are the days of my wasted youth Cause I’m human too, I’m screwed up just like you) Let your heart break Let your heart break for a minute Let your heart break In the end you’ll find it was all worth it

I may have had my heart broken one too many times May have to learn to face the fears that keep me up at night But oh, it’s alright I may always have insecurities to battle with And all the trauma and depression may always exist But oh, it’s alright Baby it’s alright Baby it’s alright Let your worries die around you Lift your head up to the sky Cause baby it’s alright Baby it’s alright Let your tears flow as they might You survived, so everything’s gonna be alright I may not ever want this moment of my life to end Cause growing up is kinda scary when you don’t know what’s next But oh, it’s alright I may not have my whole life figured out by 25 May try again and again but never get it right But oh, it’s alright So cry your tears For all the years You wasted on fear Cause finally it’s graduation day So cry your tears For all the years You wasted on fear Say hallelujah, it’s graduation day x2 We never know when it’s our last day So every moment is a reason to celebrate Don’t let life’s troubles get in the way It’s graduation day! x2
