Different Standards

DIFFERENT STANDARDS
Words by Zoë aan de Wiel ©2023

Don't Sleep Don't Eat, Don't Smile,
I Don't Remember, The Last Time, 
But I Know It's Been A Damn While, 

Don't Think Don't Drink, Don't Cry, 
Are The Rules I Set, For Myself, 
But Every Single One's A Lie 

If My Friends Behaved Like This I'd Call Them Out 
And Remind Them That Their Happiness 
Is Worth Caring About 

Tell Me Why It Is That When They Tell Me Now 
I Can't Make Myself Believe A Word That's Coming Out Their Mouth,

These Different Standards Are Gonna Be My End, 
But I Just Can't Seem To Bring Myself To See Me As A Friend 

Do Clubs Do Drinks Do More 
My Friends Recall Times Before 
When They Scooped Me Off Gross Bathroom Floors 

Do Hide Inside And Scowl 
I'm Still Lost In Photos Holding You 
'Till Friends Wake Me And Pull Me Out 

If My Friends Behaved Like This I'd Call Them Out 
And Remind Them That Their Happiness 
Is Worth Caring About 

Tell Me Why It Is That When They Tell Me Now 
I Can't Make Myself Believe A Word That's Coming Out Their Mouth
,
These Different Standards Are Gonna Be My End, 
But I Just Can't Seem To Bring Myself To See Me As A Friend 

I Don't Know Why I Can't Let Me Be 
Tortured Toxic Terrible 
Are Ways That I Treat Me 

I Don't Know Why I Can't Just Believe 
That Damage Done's Repairable 
There's More To Life Than Grief 

If My Friends Behaved Like This I'd Call Them Out 
And Remind Them That Their Happiness 
Is Worth Caring About 

Tell Me Why It Is That When They Tell Me Now 
I Can't Make Myself Believe A Word That's Coming Out Their Mouth,

These Different Standards Are Gonna Be My End, 
But I Just Can't Seem To Bring Myself To See Me As A Friend
