the silent treatment - bleachers lyrics

bleachers

[verse 1]
i think high school changed me
i think smoking is okay, don’t get addicted
don’t break bad, don’t get a mistress
if you do then make sure you wife don’t ever catch you
in a hotel room, feeling on the girl next door
i’m not promoting you’re vices
i don’t even have a license
i’m only 19 playing with drum-pads
hoping for nice things
i moonwalk to the store
underage and looking for vodka
i gotta say, i’ll fade a little faster
i’m winning if you’re keeping score
i’m tryna get her to notice
i’m trying to get her loose
i got her to open up to me
wide open like c-ke cans
under the bleachers
small sounds so they don’t hear us
i got her to love me
not the captain of the football team
phone bill came back
we talk too much (too much, too much, too much, too much, too much, too much)

[verse 2]
in my defence i was younger
i thought i couldn’t have you
i knew nothing about love
i was pretty much clueless
i said you were pretty, i lied
i said you deserved better, i lied
you were never special
you were merely my only option
you were like the only girl i talked to at the time
what did you expect?
i knew nothing about you
but i still chased you around in circles
hoping for a yes, a maybe, something different
i was never in control
those stupid demons couldn’t let me go
that wasn’t me, you could call him my alter ego if you want to
wreck less, suicidal, persistent
he was really delusional, i hate him
you really think that i, would love the likes of you
think about it, we’re so different
i have dreams, big ones
you merely sit back and hope for the best
i evolve with time and my p-ssion for music is a hunned
yeah, i said it a hunned
you simply say if i get rich, i shouldn’t forget you
but i will forget you
not because i want to, but you’re so grounded
and i kinda feel like flying right about now
you get the metaphor
you smarter than me
so what if you graduate
get a good job, get a salary, a good one
you know like those weirdos on tv
you say you will get rich
but a desk job will never make you rich
not because it can’t but you’re basic
you’re one basic b-tch, i apologise for the language
you don’t want bigger things
you’re just waiting for some guy to swoop you off your feet
and feed you
i mean, i mean really?
i guess that’s it for you, that’s it for you, yeah
you say you want to be strong and independent
but you are focused on the present
you’re out all night these days, you smoke now – apparently
you should know better, i’m starting to think you’re not that smart after all
you have an attitude problem
you have an attitude problem
you always say you don’t care, you should
you should care
i’ve tried to play along but i think this is where i get off
i’m done with you
i just can’t wait to forget you
i know what you’re thinking
“oh what about you, mr. i-quit-school-to-do-music guy?”
thing is i have a plan
and i know lots of people say that
but i know the risk, i know it’s going to be really hard and frustrating
i know it’s going to take time for me to actually make it
i know what it takes, i’m not lying to myself anymore
i’m ready for the challenge
and i’m not kicking back at home when i’m up late working
when i’m not working, i take time to visualise a future for myself
reminding me it will be worth it
all this work and the sacrifices i’ve made, they will be worth it someday
you know it too. i see you see you telling your friends about me
telling them were close – apparently
stop it, stop. i’m not who you think i am
maybe i smile too much, make you laugh
you underestimate me
but it’s okay, you just wait and see
ooh, that rhymes
ok back to the point
i know i’ve made my mistakes, but i’m older now
i’ve come to realise many things
i know i can’t be in a relationship right now, not because i don’t want to but it’s not the right time
i still live with my parents, and my emotions are rough around the edges
i’m still growing
i finally know what i desire and how i can work hard to get it
i know my flaw, i know what i’m good at
i know my friends as well, but i also plan to dispose of all the useless ones
the ones that only remember you after they hear your song
like one of your songs and stuff? particularly i’m referring to me, you get the point?
i’ve learnt a lot
sure i might not make it, it’s a possibility…
yeah, this is a reality check, let’s be realistic right here
don’t frown upon me but i can’t roll over and play dead
not now, not ever, i’ve changed
and you don’t deserve me
you see it now, don’t you?
…pathetic
