"Got What I Wanted" lyrics

"Got What I Wanted"

Broke down on the freeway
Can't believe I called my father
My accounts are over drawn
I'm over worked and I'm so tired
Just trynna keep my head above the water

He said you're anything but average
But something doesn't add up
Cause why do I feel damaged
When I do my best but it's still not enough
When life becomes work what do I do for fun?

Hard to admit, on the tip of my tongue
I know I should love this but this shit is messing me up
And that really sucks

I thought this would feel different
It'd be everything I wanted
But the only thing that's changed is
That everyone knows all of my problems
But nobody knows how to solve em
Pour my insides on the pages
"Turn your feelings into profit"
So I make all these mistakes
And I don't think I know how to stop it
But if I'm being honest
I guess that I got what I wanted

I used to hope that growing up people would stick around
But now I know enough, the ones that do just bring me down
They're telling me to swim while watching me drown
I'm using up all of my oxygen
To make sure that I know I won't be forgotten
Cause one day when I'm gone
These songs will be the proof you weren't the only one

I thought this would feel different
It'd be everything I wanted
But the only thing that's changed is
That everyone knows all of my problems
But nobody knows how to solve em
Pour my insides on the pages
"Turn your feelings into profit"
So I make all these mistakes
And I don't think I know how to stop it
But if I'm being honest
I guess that I got what I wanted

I guess that I got what I wanted
