I Slept with Someone in Fall Out Boy and All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me Lyrics
[Intro: Patrick Stump]
I found the cure to growing older
And you're the only place that feels like home
Just so you know, you'll never know, and some secrets weren't meant to be told
But I found the cure to growing older
[Verse 1: Patrick Stump]
I'm the first kid to write of hearts, lies, and friends
And I am sorry my conscience called in sick again
And I've got arrogance down to a science
Oh, and I'm the first kid to write of hearts, lies, and friends, now
[Chorus: Patrick Stump with Pete Wentz & Chad Gilbert]
Douse yourself in cheap perfume
It's so fitting, so fitting of the
Way you are, you can't cover it up
Can't cover it up!
So douse yourself in cheap perfume
It's oh-so fitting, so fitting of the
Way you are, can't cover it up
Can't cover it up! No
[Verse 2: Patrick Stump]
Find a safe place, brace yourself, bite your lips
I'm sending your fingernails and empty bottles you've sipped
Back to your family 'cause I know you will be missed
So you can find a safe place, brace yourself
I found the cure to growing older
And you're the only place that feels like home
Just so you know, you'll never know, and some secrets weren't meant to be told
But I found the cure to growing older
[Verse 1: Patrick Stump]
I'm the first kid to write of hearts, lies, and friends
And I am sorry my conscience called in sick again
And I've got arrogance down to a science
Oh, and I'm the first kid to write of hearts, lies, and friends, now
[Chorus: Patrick Stump with Pete Wentz & Chad Gilbert]
Douse yourself in cheap perfume
It's so fitting, so fitting of the
Way you are, you can't cover it up
Can't cover it up!
So douse yourself in cheap perfume
It's oh-so fitting, so fitting of the
Way you are, can't cover it up
Can't cover it up! No
[Verse 2: Patrick Stump]
Find a safe place, brace yourself, bite your lips
I'm sending your fingernails and empty bottles you've sipped
Back to your family 'cause I know you will be missed
So you can find a safe place, brace yourself
[Pre-Chorus: Patrick Stump]
They call kids like us vicious and carved out of stone
But, for what we've become, we just feel more alone
Always weigh what I've got against what I left
So, progress report: I am missing you to death
[Chorus: Patrick Stump with Pete Wentz & Chad Gilbert]
Douse yourself in cheap perfume
It's so fitting, so fitting of the
Way you are, you can't cover it up
Can't cover it up!
So douse yourself in cheap perfume
It's oh-so fitting, so fitting of the
Way you are, can't cover it up
Can't cover it up! No
[Bridge: Patrick Stump, Pete Wentz, Chad Gilbert, Wentz & Gilbert]
Someone old, no one new, feelin' borrowed, always blue
Someone old, no one new, feeling borrowed!, Always blue!
Someone old, no one new! Feeling borrowed, always blue!
Someone old, no one new! Always borrowed, always blue!
I've found the cure to growing older
I've found the cure to growing older
[Chorus: Patrick Stump, with Pete Wentz & Chad Gilbert]
So douse yourself in cheap perfume
It's so fitting, so fitting of the
Way you are, you can't cover it up
Can't cover it up!
So douse yourself in cheap perfume
It's so fitting, so fitting of the
Way you are, can't cover it up!
They call kids like us vicious and carved out of stone
But, for what we've become, we just feel more alone
Always weigh what I've got against what I left
So, progress report: I am missing you to death
[Chorus: Patrick Stump with Pete Wentz & Chad Gilbert]
Douse yourself in cheap perfume
It's so fitting, so fitting of the
Way you are, you can't cover it up
Can't cover it up!
So douse yourself in cheap perfume
It's oh-so fitting, so fitting of the
Way you are, can't cover it up
Can't cover it up! No
[Bridge: Patrick Stump, Pete Wentz, Chad Gilbert, Wentz & Gilbert]
Someone old, no one new, feelin' borrowed, always blue
Someone old, no one new, feeling borrowed!, Always blue!
Someone old, no one new! Feeling borrowed, always blue!
Someone old, no one new! Always borrowed, always blue!
I've found the cure to growing older
I've found the cure to growing older
[Chorus: Patrick Stump, with Pete Wentz & Chad Gilbert]
So douse yourself in cheap perfume
It's so fitting, so fitting of the
Way you are, you can't cover it up
Can't cover it up!
So douse yourself in cheap perfume
It's so fitting, so fitting of the
Way you are, can't cover it up!
