Bougainvillea Lyrics

There's a bougainvillea out the back
That was until last week as you finally got what you need
Well I've been thinking lots lately 'bout my future and if it's for me
Like if there's one where I don't just live with my parents and keep making excuses for me

And my shitty self-care
And our shitty quality time
I spend on my phone and I need to go home cause lonely is safest for me

We've all tried to be much nicer to ourselves and others at one point or another
We tell our selves that
This is temporary
I can get this back on track
Or I'll just fall right back
Rinse and repeat

There's a bunch of things I could have done right
There's a bunch of time in the day when I make my mistakes and I
I'm getting real good at telling my self that "it's okay, it's alright, it's just tonight"
And we'll be fine
Except for

My shitty self-care
And our shitty quality time
I spend on my phone and I need to go home cause lonely is safest for me

We've all tried to be much nicer to ourselves and others at one point or another
We tell ourselves that
This is temporary
I can get this back on track
Or I'll just fall right back
Rinse and repeat

My shitty self-care
This is temporary
And our shitty quality time
I can get this back on track
I spend on my phone and I need to go home cause lonely is safest for me
Or I'll just fall right back
Rinse and repeat
