Lyrics

All my friends do is just doubt me

All my friends consistently lack faith in me

They say I'll never make it out of this county

They doubt my potential to leave this local area

Everyone says I should make something nice

People advise me to create something pleasant

Try to make something right for once

Attempting to craft something morally correct for once

It's not fair

Expressing a sentiment of injustice

How unfair of you

Conveying the feeling of being treated unfairly

To get in my head

Someone invading my thoughts and emotions

Why should I care about you?

Questioning the importance of caring about that person

And I hate your friends

Strong dislike towards the acquaintance's friends

I don't want to pretend that I do

Unwillingness to fake affection towards those friends

Oh

Expressing a feeling of frustration or exasperation

Then you lie to my face

Encountering deceit directly from the person

Tell me things that you hate

Hearing negative remarks about disliked actions

That I do

Confirmation of disapproval from female friends

All my girl friends

Referring to the speaker's female acquaintances

Say I'm that hellish (hellish)

Being described as nightmarish or unpleasant

That I should stop being so selfish (should stop being selfish)

Advised to stop being self-centered or egotistical

Everyone says that I should find someone nice

Suggestions to find a kind and respectful partner

Someone that treats me right for once

Finding someone who treats the speaker well for a change

It's not fair

Reiterating a sense of injustice

How unfair of you

Feeling unjustly treated by the person

To get in my head

The person impacting the speaker's thoughts negatively

Why should I care about you?

Questioning the importance of caring about that person

And I hate your friends

Expressing strong dislike towards the person's friends

I don't want to pretend that I do

Unwillingness to pretend liking those friends

Oh

Exasperation or frustration expressed

Then you lie to my face

Encountering lies directly from the person

Tell me things that you hate

Hearing negative comments about disliked actions

That I do

Confirmation of disapproval from the person

And I hate your friends I wish they were dead I do

Strongly wishing harm upon the person's friends

They're all so damn fake

Expressing disdain towards the falseness of the friends

From their laughs to their make up too

Disliking the artificiality, even in appearance

I wish they were dead

Reiteration of the intense desire for harm upon the friends

I wish they were dead

Repetition of the strong wish for harm to the friends

I wish they were dead

Repetition emphasizing the wish for harm upon the friends
