Self Fulfilling Prophecy
[Verse 1]
Miss getting high for fun
Miss getting drunk for free
If you think I'm pretty, you can pay to look at me
That's how it's always been
The worst always 'round the bend
In the age of nepotism and forgettism
[Chorus]
Said I wanted to be (Wanted to be)
Someone like me (Someone like me)
But here I am now and I wish I wasn't
I wanted to be (Wanted to be)
Someone like me (Someone like me)
But here I am now and I wish I wasn't lonely
Wish I wasn't a self-fulfilling prophecy
[Verse 2]
Miss staying up all night for fun
Miss doing anything that please me
If you think I'm pretty, I can be real easy
Yes, I miss him with my whole chest (Miss him with my whole chest)
That's the ways it's always been (Way it's always been)
In the age of short attention and indecision
[Chorus]
Said I wanted to be (Wanted to be)
Someone like me (Someone like me)
But here I am now and I wish I wasn't
I wanted to be (Wanted to be)
Someone like me (Someone like me)
But here I am now and I wish I wasn't lonely
Wish I wasn't a self-fulfilling prophecy
[Bridge]
You won't make me into a relic just 'cause nothing lasts
Don't let it get too psychedelic, it doesn't always pass
I would've stopped this moment forever
But once I spent some time with you, I realized I'm no better
'Cause once you sold your soul, you found there's nothing to hold on to
You're untethered to Earth and I'm untethered you
[Outro]
Once you cut me loose
I'm untethered to you
