lyrics

I guess, it’s terrible
But it don’t feel so bad
I abide, and I may hold a key
To being gratefully glad
Mission on my way down
You smile in my face In my waiting
But all the time you want to hit replace
I’ve been along the way around
Here’s my back for stabbin’
Won’t wait it up, I won’t weigh you down
Won’t crave it up, I will stand down
I won’t taint it up, I will stand down
When you cast me off

I’ll be, I’ll be your cast-off
I’ll be your discarded toy
I’ll be, I’ll be your cast-off
Be your maybe sometime choice
Self-loathing never felt so good
And so it should
I’ll be your cast-off
I’ll be your discarded toy
Be your rejection foil

Won’t wait it up, I won’t weigh you down
Won’t crave it up, I will stand down
I won’t taint it up, I will stand down
When you cast me off

I’ll be, I’ll be your cast-off
I’ll be your discarded toy
I’ll be, I’ll be your cast-off
Be your maybe sometime choice
Be your rejection foil

I kinda ain’t shit
But I embrace it
I can be okay
I’ll take what I can get
And like it, and like it well
I’ll be your cast-off, be your discarded one
Discarded toy
Discarded chew toy
Smile in my face
And all the time you want to take my place
Here’s my back for stabbin’
