Mope Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Feel I've wrapped a web around myself
I feel like only hope is on the shelf
This existential vacuum is my bedroom
Like that is where I'll sit and watch the clouds loom

[Pre-Chorus]
No I can't remember when
Everything was fine with friends
If I knew that you
Would stick here with me
I would let you in

[Chorus]
But I won't
I'll sit around the house
And I'll mope
Pick up the phone and order some food
And then sit back
And eat my feelings
Like a dope
I copy every line
That they wrote
The tie around my neck
Is a rope
And I won't ever know
The meaning
[Verse 2]
Promise that it's gonna be okay
And I should just get up and find a way
But you have never done something like this before
So how the fuck would you know what it's good for?

[Pre-Chorus]
No you can't remember when
I was ever fine with friends
If I knew that you
Could stick here with me
I would let you in

[Chorus 2]
But you won't
Just sit around the house
And you'll mope
Pick up the phone and order some food
And then sit back
And eat your feelings
Fucking joke
I'll tear up every rule
That you broke
And throw'em all down
Into your moat
Pull up in sweats and play
Some guitar
[Outro]
No I won't
I'll sit around the house
No I won't
I'll sit around the house
No I won't
I'll sit around the house
No I won't
I'll sit around the house
In a mope

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
