Paper bag hearts

"No one is worth crying for... and the one who is won't make you cry."

Ahh, I love my sister. She talks to me on the phone for... well, 300 minutes, tonight.

when i was young i knew everything
she a punk who rarely ever took advice
now i'm guilt stricken sobbing with my head on the floor
stopping baby's breath and a shoe full of rice

no,
can't be held responsible
she was touching her face
i won't be held responsible
she fell in love in the first place

for the life of me i cannot remember
what made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
for the life of me i cannot believe
we'd ever die for these sins we were merely freshmen

my best friend took a week's vacation to forget her
his girl took a week's worth of valium and slept
now he's guilt stricken sobbing with his head on the floor
thinks about her now and how he never really wept

he said,
can't be held responsible
she was touching her face
i won't be held responsible
she fell in love in the first place

for the life of me i cannot remember
what made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
for the life of me i cannot believe
we'd ever die for these sins we were merely freshmen

hey ya-ye-ah-ye-ah-yeah
hey ya-ye-ah-ye-ah-yeah
hey ya-ye-ah-ye-ah-yeah

we tried to wash our hands of all of this
we never talk of our lack in relationships
and how we're guilt stricken sobbing with our heads on the floor
we fell through the ice when we tried not to slip we'd say

can't be held responsible
she was touching her face
i won't be held responsible
she fell in love in the first place

for the life of me i cannot remember
what made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
for the life of me i cannot believe
we'd ever die for these sins we were merely freshmen

for the life of me i cannot remember
what made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
for the life of me i cannot believe
we'd ever die for these sins we were merely freshmen
we were merely freshmen
we were only freshmen
