LYRICS
i did a bunch of drugs before i turned 21
ate two tabs once a week for a whole month straight 
don’t know if i remember what i looked like back then
when i said yes stood still head down took the bait

now enough time has passed for me to know what the fuck was up
introducing her royal highness, it’s me — i’m a royal screw up
i drive around listening to soccer mommy 
whisper i’m so sorry 
to the girl you ate alive 

and i’m not sure when it changed but i’m bored of being ashamed
i danced myself clean and i own a denim jacket now
my plants are still alive but the jade i got around you has long died
some things just suck
they aren’t always lessons either 

now enough time has passed for me to know what the fuck was up
introducing her royal highness, it’s me — i’m a royal screw up
i drive around listening to soccer mommy 
whisper i’m so sorry 
to the girl you ate alive

now enough time has passed for me to know what the fuck was up
introducing her royal highness, it’s me — i’m a royal screw up
i drive around listening to soccer mommy 
whisper i’m so sorry 
to the girl you ate alive
