Hey
How's Life Been?
I'm Sorry
At least you get to explore yourself again

[Joe]
'Sup
Single life sucks dick

[Friend]
I'm so sorry, Joe

[Joe]
I've been eating my feelings and listening to songs

[Friend]
I didn't wanna take sides so I stopped talking to the both of you

[Joe]
I haven't heard from her

[Friend]
But I have seen some of your posts on Facebook and wanted to see if you were okay

[Joe]
I hope so

[Friend]
I know what you mean
Actually no, I don't
Moving on's gonna be next to impossible
I bet you've heard that from everyone
"I'm sorry" "I'm here if you need to talk man"
"I understand"
Unless they have been in your shoes for these past 2 to 3 years of your life, nobody could possibly understand, yunno

[Joe]
We got together at the end of Freshman year so it fits that we wouldn't last much into Senior year
It's what they all said would happen
I lost my "high school sweetheart"

[Friend]
You've had no experience dating other girls
You guys have been together for so long that you don't know who you are anymore
You guys need to take advantage of this separation
Yeah, it's going to be tough but you guys are about to fucking graduate
And you guys shouldn't be holding the other one back from the future
If she's holding you back, you need to wake up
If you're holding her back, she needs to wake up
You guys are going to be on your own and adults
The best decision for you or her or both of you is to be yourselves and understand yourselves instead of forcing something to work between you guys
I know you don't have to listen to me, Joe
But I've seen the way you were crazy about her
And I've seen the way she is crazy about you
You guys need a break
If it has to be a really long one then it does, okay
Just take all of what I said to heart

[Joe]
I've been trying to be me and all I see so far is a guy that has his ex's dog and eats all the time
A guy who can freestyle and wants to turn that into his life but isn't good enough
A guy who could just sit at home all day, sittin' there with an NJOY and an Xbox controller and a pint of Ben and Jerry's to go and eat his life away
He gets mad enough to fight a punching bag and mouth back to his coworker's attitude and then gets his ass kicked
A guy who just wants his life back but he's too anxious and self-destructive to get it done

[Friend]
Stop, Joe, stop putting yourself down now
Have you guys talked?

[Joe]
She said she's been calling my voicemail just to hear it because it's the only way she can hear my voice

[Friend]
That's understandable but Joe you cannot keep putting yourself through so much damn stress

[Joe]
She said that her phone was getting shut off and she hasn't been on Facebook

[Outro]
I know, I know, I know that you've been stressed out
I know, I know, I know that you've been stressed out
I know, I know, I know that you've been stressed out
The voices in your head, they think that that's what's best, yeah
I know, I know, I know that you've been stressed out
I know, I know, I know that you've been stressed out
I know, I know, I know, I know that you've been stressed out
The voices in your head, they think that that's what's best, yeah
