You Say I Need Some Counseling

from Strung Out by Renee Goust

/

lyrics

You fall asleep with a handful of downers
Until you wake up and line up your nose.
And in between there's this livable nightmare
Of unrefinable trailer homes.

You like to carry a flask full of whiskey.
You slip another one into my purse.
You take the tips when the bartender turns
'Cause you just can't stop taking what isn't yours.

And you say I need some counseling.
Oh fucking please!
You say i need some counseling
'Cause I slit my wrists a few times before.

You say I need some counseling.
Oh fucking please!
You say i need some counseling,
What if i rather die than be always ignored?

You get fucked up and you swear that you love me
And i believe that your pills tell the truth.
But i'm alone in our bed every Sunday
It was just the uppers, it wasn't you.

And you say I need some counseling.
Oh fucking please!
You say i need some counseling
'Cause I slit my wrists a few times before.

You say I need some counseling.
Oh fucking please!
You say i need some counseling,
What if i rather die than be always ignored?
