Alkaline Trio - I'm Only Here To Disappoint Lyrics






I'm hurtin' for someone else
To feel this pain
Are you hurtin' too?
I'm desperate
So desperate

But i won't get my hopes up
I'll just get all my ropes taught
After all
I'm only here to disappoint

I am truly only here to disappoint
Like all good dreams and you wind up dead
All those promises I never kept
I laugh and you will cry again
And again and again and again

These simple things I just can't say
Remove the you from you and me
I stand to bring you to your knees
Again and again and again

I'm crying for someone
To show me
Real tears
I've tasted them I've wasted them
So many empty years...

Now I'm dying
Just to give you
A body I can give to
Something I can be a part of forever

I am truly only here to disappoint
Like all good dreams and you wind up dead
All those promises I never kept
I laugh and you will cry again
And again and again and again

These simple things I just can't say
Remove the you from you and me
I stand to bring you to your knees
Again and again and again

Distorted is my silhouette
Tainted starved and desperate
There's no easy fix for this
That I cannot control
I'm breaking apart at the soul

Like all good dreams and you wind up dead
All those promises I never kept
I laugh and you will cry again
And again and again and again

These simple things I just can't say
Remove the you from you and me
I stand to bring you to your knees
Again and again and again

    Am I the only one that prefers Dan's voice. It's so unique. Obviously I like Matt's vocals too. Alkaline Trio is one of my favorite bands of all time.

    D.... R....

    Nope right there with you

  5. M.... S....

    2017 :D

  8. D.... H....

    manos the hands of fate

  9. n.... a....

    I have never heard a song by alkaline trio that didn't get stuck in my head immediately. this band is amazing.

  10. S.... J....

    my life summarized in the lyrics "I am truly only here to disappoint" and "I am breaking apart at the soul"

  11. M.... D....

    I laugh & you will cry again & again & again!!

  12. C.... K....

    it's good to not feel alone in this feeling

  13. B.... A....

    fucking genius!!!....Brilliant!

  14. J.... P....

    fantasma cara!!

  15. e.... ....

    it kinda sounds like the latest Bad Religion albums

  16. V.... O....

    I love these lyric videos! gr8 work Alkaline Trio and Epitaph!

  17. K.... L....

    JacenEnda. That's not Matt Skiba. It's their bassist Dan Andriano singing.

    K.... L....

    It's been a long time since you wrote this, but that's the joke.

  18. J.... ....

    "Wait, that doesn't sound like Matt Skiba. Well, nothing to do here then. Off to another Alkaline Trio video where I will write a generic useless comment about how much the Trio sucks in comparison to blink, and how Skiba can never replace Tom DeLonge." Every single ignorant blink-182 fan ever.

    J.... ....

    +Stacynow Gee, thanks for telling me.

    J.... ....

    😂😂😂

    J.... ....

    this is so shitty

    J.... ....

    @Ana Beatriz Friedrich really? Why waste time posting a comment, be on your way

    J.... ....

    @Jeff Olsen what you're talking about? I was referring to the situation of blink-182 fans attacking Skiba even though Alkaline Trio is a great band.

  19. a.... ....

    what's the movie at 0:12

  20. M.... V....

    i really like this song <3

  21. M.... ....

    👍👍👍👍

  22. f.... s....

    Never heard of them before but me likey. Any recommendations for other good ones?

    f.... s....

    Download all their albums. You'll thank me.

    f.... s....

    @Maxscenee
    Lol thanks

    f.... s....

    That girls answer is the best answer download all of them for sure!! Also dan andriano in the emergency room is the singer in this songs acoustic side project if you like that sorta stuff.

    f.... s....

    If you like acoustic side projects check out City and Colour. Its Dallas green who was the lead singer for the band Alexisonfire. Good stuff man and thanks for the heads up!

    f.... s....

    Ahh I know of him too I'm a huge dallas green fan and alexisonfire fan too!

  23. E.... M....

    My favourite song on the record. Beyond awesome. A+. Can't stop listening to it...

  24. J.... F....

    13 people brought to their knees.

  25. s.... ....

    I'm fairly positive it's Raquel Welch

  26. S.... V....

    which is the one with the guy wearing the phantom costume?

  27. B.... P....

    I like this song too but its not what it use to be..

  28. P.... ....

    I wasn't a fan of this addiction just thought it was a bit rushed. but still love all they've done

  29. R.... S....

    In my opinion, Dan has some, if not the best, songs on Alk Trio's more recent albums. "Fine", "Broken Wings","I, Pessimist', 'I'm Only Here to Dissapoint', are some of the finest examples of songwriting and wordplays that I've seen in a long time.

  30. S.... ....

    Oh yeah, I think I have most of each of their side projects. One of my favorite Skiba's little known classic, "Good Fucking Bye"

  31. j.... ....

    gotta love MST3K

  32. R.... N....

    Been an all trio fan for a good decade. This is the first I've heard this, and it hits home y'all. That's all, really, guess I'll leave it there...

  33. G.... ....

    I'm not a hardcore fan so I don't know much, but I do know that I love this singers voice.

  34. P.... M....

    Does anyone know the name of the girl at 0:07? I would really like to know. Please. :c

  35. b.... c....

    kills me .

  36. P.... r....

    I honestly think it is because some people cant handle something different. I personally think it was a great album.

  37. M.... ....

    I agree! Dan was a great pick for this band :)
    I wish he would've had a little more freedom to talk at the concert though, I wanted to hear from him too.
    Have you listened to Dan Andriano In The Emergency Room?

  38. s.... ....

    THANK YOU. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that.

  39. D.... ....

    Dan can do no wrong

  40. p.... ....

    are the words of the song suppose to move like snakes?????????

  41. H.... C....

    sounds like bayside;)

  42. B.... R....

    Maybe I'll catch fire, their best album by far. Less heartbreak, more dark lyrics with happy riffs. I'm liking the new album it needs to grow on me still.

  43. i.... B....

    oh yeah, i grew up watching that show and its changed the way i watch movies lol. i have every single episode on my hdd

  44. J.... B....

    lol That's so awesome that people were thinking the exact same thing.
    And not only that, and I can't believe I missed this, but they also have footage of Ev from The Giant Spider Invasion which was also riffed on by Mystery Science Theater 3000!
    .... Yeah, I'm kind of a fan, lol.

  45. T.... ....

    Agony was one of those life changing albums

  46. G.... ....

    Agreed with that, the lyrics/vocal patterns seem not to fit very well.

  47. j.... ....

    100% agree. In Vein.... need I say more

  48. B.... ....

    Manos: The Hands of Fate!

  49. S.... W....

    Songs, not anvils. Too much jack and coke!

  50. S.... W....

    I agree with Tim. For me, agony was some of their finest work. Especially Danny. I find that even though most of their anvils are Matt focused, pretty much every Dan song is a real gem.

  51. T.... R....

    Why does everyone shit on agony? Some of Danny's best songs ever!!!!!

  52. f.... ....

    SO AWESOME!!!!thanx for uploading mate

  53. Z.... M....

    This is my favorite song off the album. I covered it in my channel :)

  54. i.... ....

    OMG ur right the song is sooo good! Hey use this to get it on your pod --> bit.ly/10pdx2D?=wdvrb

  55. D.... B....

    Yeah but crimson has the final version of sadie. Now that I have heard this whole new album I'm not disappointed!

  56. R.... ....

    Even though Sadie was around much longer than Crimson...

  57. A.... ....

    I like Crimson, my least fave is Agonyand Irony.

  58. T.... ....

    I think all their albums are as great as each other in individual styles but either Crimson or Goddamnit are my fave or Good mourning or from here to infirmary or i quite enjoy Remains with the bonus and B-sides oh fuck it they are all amazing :P

  59. C.... ....

    I think Crimson is their best album.

  60. 0.... ....

    I dont hate Crimson, but it is definitely my least favorite.

  61. D.... P....

    What movie is this from?

  62. G.... ....

    Kickass song! That riff at the end was sick wish it was more pronounced throughout the song!

  63. D.... B....

    I can't believe anyone would hate crimson it was their most unique in my opinion. Sadie is my favorite song they ever wrote.

  64. T.... S....

    Lets all be honest here. Alkalime trio has never done a bad album nor song. Nor will they ever.

  65. E.... F....

    My favorite from this album.

  66. T.... ....

    blah blah blah i dont like this blah blah oh wait i love every single one of their songs ALK3 for life :D

  67. R.... ....

    I'm not sure what happened to these guys, but they need to keep it up. They're making GREAT music again. Not just "meh" anymore. :)

  68. W.... ....

    Well this is one of two songs I think are ok. I, Pessimist is awesome. If I use statistical analysis, then I should love 3 more songs on the album and like 7 more. That's not bad. Let's just hope these 4 songs weren't the best ones.

  69. S.... C....

    ...production. I feel like if they just cranked the guitars up a bit louder in the mix like on FHTF that would give all these songs a little more bite. Regardless, this song is great and I think The Temp of St Anthony seem good too. Looking forward to hearing the entire album. I'm sure it will be good.The only total miss for me was agony but i have even grown to like a few tracks on that one.

  70. S.... C....

    I am a long time fan, just go to my page if you need any further proof! I used to cover a bunch of their older songs. Anyway, been a fan since 2001 when my friend gave me from FHTI which i instantly loved, then soon found that i really liked the older stuff as well. They were spot on until crimson in my opinion, but I have learned to appreciate their newer sound although I always kind of wish they could channel a little more of the raw sound of the earlier stuff. I think its mainly studio prod..

  71. R.... ....

    I don't get that at all. This to me is far and away the best one they've released so far.

    I mean, you like Warhol better than this?

  72. R.... ....

    I don't get the hate for This Addiction. I thought it was MUCH better than Agony and Irony and Crimson, especially the Skiba songs.

    Lead Poisoning and Dead On The Floor VS Over And Out or Live Young Die Fast?
    Piss and Vinegar Vs all the snoozers on the second half of Crimson?
    No contest for me anyways.

    Calling All Skeletons is a kick ass song though.

  73. M.... O....

    so far, this is the only song i find mediocre

  74. E.... H....

    Danny's songwriting combined with that trademark Trio harmony. I'm obsessed

  75. m.... ....

    Somehow they managed to get back to "basics" let's say. Really good material from the guys this time around!

  76. D.... B....

    Agony and Irony really wasn't that bad. Crimson wasn't good and This Addiction was junk

  77. W.... ....

    Matt's choruses are catchier. But Dan's verses have been so much better these last few albums. Better melody and lyrics.

  78. B.... S....

    i miss the long ass breaks of jamming out to just instrumentals, like alk3 used to have. granted this is still better than agony and irony.

  79. a.... ....

    Do not start here. Go through the back catalogue and then make your decision. Reason being, this new stuff isn't half as good as the old shit. Basically anything pre Agony & Irony. But to be safe, go pre Crimson.

  80. k.... w....

    published 6 days ago.. nearly 20,000 views...

  81. M.... R....

    is a hit awesome!

  82. l.... ....

    and again and again and again!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  83. s.... ....

    Out of the songs for My Shame Us True that have been released, this one is probably my favorite!

  84. V.... A....

    Lord Robert von Murneau .

  85. i.... B....

    im so glad i wasnt the only one that thought exactly that

  86. �.... �....

    When they again show some new music video ? I'm waaaaiting!!!

  87. �.... �....

    I more like when in their songs Matt has lead vocal

  88. J.... B....

    Not only is this song awesome, but they even had footage of The Master from "Manos, The Hands Of Fate". They reminded me of Mystery Science Theater 3000 which added to the awesomeness.

  89. M.... W....

    This song is better without the video tbh, can't wait for the new album!

  90. Z.... ....

    you can listen the parts right in this song, example when both sing "so many empty years"

  91. �.... �....

    Intersting song, but I think what in this song will sing Matt

  92. M.... S....

    Sorry, it wasn't my intention to insult, I made clear it was just my opinion. It's just that songs from crimson , agony and this adiction doesn't reflect the true alkaline "cult" vibe , i mean if crimson was they debut album i wouldn' t have an alkaline trio tattoo as i do.peace

  93. J.... ....

    Yeah, I was just trying to get a wide variety of songs. There were honestly too many I wanted to pick from, most of which were Dan's songs, but I tried thinking of a good mix of both Dan and Matt. I dunno, I think there's a decent range of songs and it's not like they've ever released a bad song anyway.

  94. S.... ....

    So lucky to have a band with two great and different singers.

  95. S.... C....

    I love the music video! Totally different from their old stuff but I like it. Can't wait for the new album!

  96. M.... S....

    horrible list in my opinion. Goodbye forever, hell yes, crawl , all on black, 97, san francisco , bleeder, queen of pain, warbrain, armageddon, take lots with alcohol, I lied my face off ....

  97. M.... S....

    if you want to like them don´t start it by listening to the last records.Start from the begining, you can skin this addiction and agony and irony in my opinion.

  98. j.... ....

    Crimson vibe going down with this album, love it
