James in NYC

I'm always looking for a motive Something to chase that I will never have I let it manipulate me Because I kind of like it that's the way I am And I will never be happy Cause when I get what I want I always screw it up I think I do it on purpose Cause without the struggle life gets tedious Soon I'll be leaving home Soon I'll be leaving home but it's just to impress you No matter what I do you only let me undress you Stolen so much time and now I have nothing Can't go to uni don't have the grades to get in And now you're all that I ever see Everything I do is about getting to you I'm never there when I'm needed You screw me up but do you know that you do And I will never be happy You keep saying you love me you won't screw me up I let you manipulate me This is why my friends hate you, you're a very unpleasant individual Do you like me enough to actually date me We want different things but you don't have to forsake me
