Pessimist Lyrics

Boys don't cry, they just want to die
Stumbling, coughing, grin or lie
Will you look into my eyes?
Will you be my new dress?

Box up all of your things with tape
Write your address, hope it won't be late
Can I still be your pessimist?

Boys don't cry, they just want to die
Stumbling, coughing, grin or lie
Will you look into my eyes?
Will you be my new dress?

will you be my new drag?

It sounds like that, yes. I also think the other line is "Box up all of your things with tape Write your address so it won't be late"

I made the changes you guys suggested. I don't really think the missing word is drag but I haven't got anything better.

I also figured out the symbolism of the box which helped me to hear the lyrics better. That he is letting go of this person he loves by symbolically packing up the memories of them in boxes that are in his heart.

possibly might be "will you be my new drug?" as in he just wants the person hes talkin about?
