Indifference It seems with you I'll never reach that stage A place without feeling Without anger for how we ended, Longing for what we were Forgiveness A word I'll never say to you It seems petty It wasn't all that bad Those days feeling worthless Crying feeling forgotten All because of you Us Maybe the universe messed up When it linked us as a pair But maybe just maybe we both needed the growth All the troubles Maybe I should thank you for all I am

Verse 1 Your eyes shined You glanced back at me following your lead Making sure I wouldn't be forgotten in the crowds. My hair Windswept My hand brushed it down from the air Making sure I would know how pretty I looks you took my hand and squeezed leading me further down the street Chorus Refusing to tell me where we'd end up you gleamed like a little kid Trustly you blindly I followed in your step Nerves left to rest when your nose scrunched up with your smile You whispered "let's promise to never have this day end" Bringing me back to that closed down carnival To sit underneath the carousel and talk of sunrises and angels Verse 2 You stopped me on the sidewalk, walking me home You took my face in your hands Silently asking if this is what I wanted My heart stopped on in that moment as I nodded My mind swirled in the fog as you leaning in close Silently I thought, You tasted like pine and sugar [Chorus] Bridge Laughing at all my horrible jokes Flushed Cheeks I've never had that kind of treatment before You'd cover yourself with witty comments Hoping I wouldn't notice your shaking hands But I did every time... babe [Chorus]

Sunsets and Angels
I shouldn’t know this would turn out this way, Having the urge to cry, But scared of what the people would say. And so I stand five feet behind the group, Scared to call home not knowing where the conversation could lead So there I was on Halloween night, The kids were scared of ghosts but I stood unfazed, Overwhelmed with the fear inside myself, Using my phone as my lifeline, Begging for someone to answer my distress calls But when they don’t I won’t be surprised, There I was on Halloween night…

There I was on Halloween Night
“Haha You’re going to have nobody in July” Flash it back to last summer, While people are out on beaches, getting tans, And at camps reinventing themselves, I’m sitting on the couch with Netflix open, Watching my favorite show on rewatch While wishing I could have someone to talk to Texting just not doing it for me, But none of my friends are free, Their off living their lives out in the wild, With people surrounding them, while being happy in the sun, While I’m here in the dark, with the only light being my computer screen. Maybe they were right, I really will have nobody in July, No one to visit, no one to talk to Even my sisters are leaving for college in June, Options running out, Once again I’m limited to the people on my phone, The people who don’t want to talk to me, And answer hours after I text, not caring enough to reply as fast as I do, Leaving myself to scroll down, video after video, Wishing that was me, laughing with someone in my room Instead of being all on my own Yeah, they were right I’ll have nobody in July, Even more now that their gone, One less option that I used to have, Even though we rarely saw each other face to face, We still talked at least once every week, With that gone now, I just don’t know what I’ll do, I don’t want it to come to scrolling endlessly on my phone, Unable to read ten pages in one sitting, Unfinished lyrics, and paragraphs left alone, just as I am Motivation tossed away as soon as school rolls out, Nothing left to do except sit on the couch, Listen to music and wish that someone would text me, Even though I know they won’t. Maybe they were right, I really will have nobody in July, No one to visit, no one to talk to Even my sisters are leaving for college in June, Options running out, Once again I’m limited to the people on my phone, The people who don’t want to talk to me, And answer hours after I text, not caring enough to reply as fast as I do, Leaving myself to scroll down, video after video, Wishing that was me, laughing with someone in my room Instead of being all on my own Yeah, they were right I’ll have nobody in July, All I have is myself, And for once I need that to be enough All I need is to get through the month, The longest month in summer, when people are practically begging for school back, Me more than most. Back in those halls where I talk to someone daily, Have more than just myself telling me to get work done, A reason to wake up in the morning, Instead of two in the afternoon, While falling asleep at three, Unable to rest when there's nothing to be tired from, Expect the endless silence of the communication I wish I could have Maybe they were right, I really will have nobody in July, No one to visit, no one to talk to Even my sisters are leaving for college in June, Options running out, Once again I’m limited to the people on my phone, The people who don’t want to talk to me, And answer hours after I text, not caring enough to reply as fast as I do, Leaving myself to scroll down, video after video, Wishing that was me, laughing with someone in my room Instead of being all on my own Yeah, they were right I’ll have nobody in July, “That was a mean thing to say I’m sorry”

You're Going to Have Nobody in July
