Ever since you're young you'll be begging them
To treat you like an adult
And even when you're not they will treat you
Like you're six years old.
Condescending stares down your nose
From the back corner of a party.
Oh, your little clique's got cool but you aren't any fun.

So why oh why oh why am I hellbent on acceptance here,
Like a non-sarcastic smile would really fix my day?
When I get so depressed sometimes
I can barely put the bottle down
And I know that you won't care if I go away

So, I won't care, not from this point forward.
If you're so stuck on feeling cool,
Why oh why did I ever care about you?
Oh oh oh oh.

When you're down and out,
Those acquaintances that treat you like a stranger
Scramble to the phone for the scoop on your latest little fall.
They're the ones who call you,
But only when they're looking for a favor,
And you can hear the cracks
When they tell you that it's been too long.

So why oh why oh why do I even stay in touch with you
When you're only here to leech off my good days?
When I get so depressed sometimes
It's a wonder that I'm still around
And I know that you won't care if I go away.

So, I won't care, not from this point forward.
If you're so stuck on being cool,
Why oh why did I ever care about you?
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh.

When I get so depressed sometimes
It's a miracle I'm still with you
And I know that you won't care if I go away.

There's a marathon that I watch as a kid every new year
Of the twilight zone and I wonder if it's still on.
These days I get shithoused
And make plans to lose weight before the summer.
Oh tell me, why I'm first in line to find what I'm doing wrong?

So, I won't care, not from this point forward.
If you're so stuck on being cool,
Why oh why did I ever care about you?
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh.
Why oh why did I ever care about you?
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh.
