(it's none of my god damn business what's in the cup, but it's a beautiful thing, man
But ... it's not a beautiful thing, cause nobody knows what's in the cup
That's the whole thing - unless you come up and drink what's in my cup, then how can you say it's a beautiful thing?
Also
When people drink alcohol, they react
So whatever the hell was in my cup, the only reaction I did was get more popular
More successful
Did a lot more things than I've ever done
Picked up a guitar, learned how to play it
Learned how to turn put on the auto-tune and stretch my voice
I probably should pick that cup back up)
ย
I swore not to care, but on that night I couldn't help it
I took out all of my shame on a random guy who probably liked me
And that night it was the obvious first time you were disappointed
I spewed out that irresponsible mantra
"I'm sorry I'm like this"
(What the hell was in his cup?
Whatever he was drinking must be a motherfucking success potion
That's why I tell people, "fuck you"
And whatever was in my cup, suck my dick
I'm gonna keep drinking it, bitch)
ย
Aah~
Something's in the air like vanilla
I got on my facebook
And that time
I had the courage to call her and tell her that I loved her
I guess that screaming at my audience works and everyone likes it
I dreamed of cutting my achilles heel
Wanting people to like me
(...understand that - don't judge me
Trying to say, "He should have put the cup down" - Why?
What did he do wrong?
Name it
He was on 60 minutes with Katie Couric, was you? No!
I make people understand that - don't judge me)
I can't go to sleep
Cause my mind keeps ringing with times that I laid out everything wrong with me up on stage
It's embarrassing
"Fuck you, you don't deserve me", the bus went totally silent
"Help me" is what I meant to say
As I gnashed my teeth right in front of you
(Yeah, I've kinda put the cup down for a minute, but um
Ain't nothing in the cup right now but some wine
I drink dolce
That's the only thing in the cup right now
But, honestly...)
I asked you
"If I never changed would you love me?", expecting the negative
Clever, turning the question around to me it was obvious
I hate this version of me that was safe and sanitized thoroughly
You think you'll let people down and define some perfect apology
ย
The answer was obvious
The answer was obvious
The answer was obvious
The answer was obvious
ย
(What's in the cup - is it really none of my goddamn business?)
