Lyrics

(G)Want it, so I got it, did it, so it’s done.

An (C)oth er thing I ru ined I used to do for fun.

An (D)oth er piece of plas tic I could just throw a way, an (C)oth er con ver sa tion with noth ing good to say.

I (G)thought it, so I said it, took it ’cause I can.

An (C)oth er day pre tend ing I’m old er than I am.

An (D)oth er per fect mo ment that does n’t feel like mine, an (C)oth er thing I forced to be a sign.

Well, (G)some times I feel like I don’t wan na be where I am, get ting drunk at a club with my fair weath er friends.

Push a way all the peo ple who know me the best,

but it’s me who’s been mak ing the bed.

I’m so tir ed of be ing the girl that I am.

Ev ’ry good thing has turned in to some thing I dread.

And I’m play ing the vic tim so well in my head, but it’s me who’s been mak ing the bed,

me who’s been mak ing the bed.

Pull the sheets o ver my (D)head,

mak ing the bed.

(G)Ev ’ry night I wake up from this one re cur ring dream.

I’m (C)driv ing through the cit y and the brakes go out on me.

I (D)can’t stop at the red light, can’t swerve off the road.

I (C)read some where it’s ’cause my life feels so out of con trol.

I (G)tell some one I love them, just as a dis trac tion, and they (C)tell me that they love me like I’m some tour ist at trac tion.

They’re (D)chang ing my ma chin er y and I just let it hap pen.

I (C)got the things I want ed, it’s just not what I i mag ined.

Well,

(E)Some times I feel like I don’t wan na be where I am.

Count ing all of the beau ti ful things I re gret,

but it’s (D)me who’s been mak ing the bed,

me who’s been mak ing the bed.

Pull the sheets o ver my (G)head,

mak ing the bed,

oh.
