Lyrics:
Don't ask me if I'm lonely, baby
You know I'm lonely
If I wasn't lonely then I wouldn't be talking to you
I'm trying to drink this poison
And see if it'll kill me
I used to have immunity, but now I don't know what it'll do
You don't know where I've been
I was just a canvas back then
But now I'm drippin' with paint
I ain't old baby, I'm brand new
Don't ask if I've been writing, baby
You know I ain't been writing
If I'd been writing then I wouldn't be talking to you
I'm trying to board this trainwreck
I used to have a ticket
All the best shit I've ever written, honey
It's all been coming from you
So don't shut me up
It ain't like it was
I've shed some layers
I ain't old baby, I'm brand new
Don't ask me if I miss my bed
Why the hell would I miss my bed
This world has got a lot of beds
And I don't mind trying them all
Some are full of sadness and
Some ain't got no blankets
But some are like heaven, honey, more than I could ever pull
I've been rambling long
And I keep on rolling on
That old cocoon is dead and gone
I ain't old baby, I'm brand new
I ain't old baby, I'm brand new
I ain't old baby, I'm brand new
