Lyrics for Slugger

I'm such a Cancer I wish I had the answer, baby I'm quite a mess now It takes me all day to get dressed now You think 'cause you're older That you're gonna be better at being colder But life takes a different turn and you're 30 years old and you're still getting burned Whoever said it's better to have loved and to lost Than to not have loved at all Should just shut up forever, 'cause My, my, my, my, my whole life, I've been doing fine And now I'm cry-cry-crying like Dolly from 9 to 5 Asking myself why I'm putting my heart on the line It feels like dy-dy-dying whenever you're not here by my side I'm always running So I probably should've seen it coming Now that we're in slow motion Whiplash, like a car crash in the ocean Back to those late-night reveries Nocturnal, like Chopin melodies Making out to Steve Lacy, "Gemini (Rights)" I could kiss you 'til I die I was just looking for a late-night lover Now you got me choked up, calling me slugger Never fucking call me slugger My, my, my, my, my whole life, I've been doing fine And now I'm cry-cry-crying like Dolly from 9 to 5 Asking myself why I'm putting my heart on the line It feels like dy-dy-dying whenever you're not here by my side How come the things that are worth the most Seem to be the things that hurt the most? I wish that no one could see me I wish that someone else could be me Just when I thought I had my shit together You made me realize it could be better Sometimes I wish I could just shut up forever, 'cause My, my, my, my, my whole life, I've been doing fine And now I'm cry-cry-crying like Dolly from 9 to 5 Asking myself why I'm putting my heart on the line It feels like dy-dy-dying whenever you're not here by my side My, my, my, my, my whole life, I've been doing fine And now I'm cry-cry-crying like Dolly from 9 to 5 Asking myself why I'm putting my heart on the line It feels like dy-dy-dying whenever you're not here by my side Asking myself why I'm putting my heart on the line It feels like dy-dy-dying whenever you're not here by my side How come the things that are worth the most Seem to be the things that hurt the most? How come the things that are worth the most Seem to be the things that hurt the most? I'm such a Cancer I wish I had the answer, baby
