Good Riddance to Good Advice

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm trying, man, I really am Summer's up, it's 4am And the lights are dim again And I'm sick of waiting Taking bad advice Through the lens of blood shot eyes And all the smelling salts and compromise couldn't hold me back from saying my goodbyes Never compromised [Chorus] (Say goodbye) To the starting line and thinking twice (Say goodnight) And good riddance to all your good advice And I'm not asking for someone to hold my hand And growing up, that's just not part of the plan [Verse 2] I'm getting out, I'm getting up I never know when I've had enough I'll bottom out so bottom's up And it's all too much I'm burning up my lungs Belting out my stupid songs Drawing blanks on all my right or wrongs I can't believe it, I never thought it'd take this long [Bridge] I'll never shut my mouth I'll never figure it out I'm fucking up and falling down I'll never turn it around I'm never catching breaks Always making mistakes I'm at the end of my rope and I bend and break But I know that I'll be better off fucking it up and sleeping it off And I'm never playing it safe because then I know that things will never change [Chorus] (Say goodbye) To the starting line and thinking twice (Say goodnight) And good riddance to all your good advice And I'm not asking for someone to hold my hand Growing up, that's just not part of the plan [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] (Say goodbye) To the ego death and party lines The parking lot, the suit and tie, to living lies and leaving alibis And I'm not asking for someone to hold my hand I guess it's not part of the plan [Outro] Say goodbye! I'm saying my goodbyes And wouldn't it be nice? Goodbye to all your good advice [Sample Outro] "Ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So, that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life." "What about today? Is today the worst day of your life?" "Yeah." "Wow, that's messed up."
