[Verse 1]
Late night, put on my record player
And sing me to sleep
My life flipped like a switchblade
And fallin' to pieces

[Refrain]
I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't
Can't even think now
Can't breathe, I can't dream, I can't
Can't hear you speak now

[Pre-Chorus]
Late night, put on my record player
And sing me to sleep

[Chorus]
All my friends are dead
'Cause they been followin' the footsteps that you tread
Yeah, all my friends are dead
You see, I wanna understand them but I can't

[Post-Chorus]
Oh (Oh)
Such a shame (Such a shame)
But when everybody's hurt, who's to blame? (Oh)
'Cause all my friends are dead (Ah)
You see, I wanna understand them but I can't
[Verse 2]
Uptight, too loose, or faded
Oh, look how we've grown
Rich kids, drugged up and jaded
We reap what we sow

[Refrain]
I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't
I can't even think now
Can't breathe, I can't dream, I can't
Can't hear you speak, 'cause

[Pre-Chorus]
Late night, put on my record player
And sing me to sleep

[Chorus]
All my friends are dead
'Cause they been followin' the footsteps that you tread
Yeah, all my friends are dead
You see, I wanna understand them but I can't

[Post-Chorus]
Oh (Oh)
Such a shame (Such a shame)
But when everybody's hurt, who's to blame? (Oh)
'Cause all my friends are dead (Ah)
You see, I wanna understand them but I can't
[Bridge]
And I'm fallin' in love with somebody that's new
And they understand me much better than you
Oh, I'm fallin' in love with somebody

[Chorus]
All my friends are dead
'Cause they been followin' the footsteps that you tread
Yeah, all my friends are dead
You see, I wanna understand them but I can't

[Post-Chorus]
Oh (Oh)
Such a shame (Such a shame)
But when everybody's hurt, who's to blame? (Oh)
'Cause all my friends are dead (Ah)
You see, I wanna understand them but I can't
