I have an urge to let tears soak into my face
I have this strange feeling
Within my weak bones
I'm loved, but somehow
The world pushes against me
I'll fall asleep early,        Forget You.

I have an urge to throw up, post-dinner face
Alone, not a bathroom
Your Hollywood ransom

My connection to the world below
Is less than slightly sufficient

Oh, the things I would do not to feel!

The lengths I would go to release
The weight on my heels
Unveil your pretty glow . . .

it's unhealthy to write
to write, then I'll know
look into my eyes, or past them
I won't notice your distraction
call me with another girl in bed
call me from her room where you lay
I'll act oblivious, it's obvious
and all my trust that is betrayed
believe me when I tell you I'm over
          When I Say It's In The Past
it's past, I'm over
but to write, and to know when you're sober
... am I?
the clock says it's early
but I think I'll sleep away
a room over, this apology is pretend
I love you and I need to come home.
I'm loving the camera, obsessed with a phone
          Chained To A Memory
******* to a bad dream
I'll leave them all behind
for one more second with you

Today
And today
and tomorrow & today & everyday
I will be
Oh
I will be
Today & tomorrow, everyday, today, tomorrow
I will be
And I will have
I will be & I'll have everyday for the rest of all the days
Tomorrows that there are
I will have
Today, days on days
Yesterday, today, tomorrow
It will be
The greatest day
A good day to have a day
And a night to wish tomorrow all away
Oh
I will be
I'll be today, tomorrow, everyday, today, tomorrow
'Til it's gone

The shade is making me cold,
I think a headache is coming on,
drinking since I got out of bed,
How can I ever live up?

And I can't tell if it's the rock of the boat
Or the whiskey that's making me stumble

Let the lines tell you a story,
I was out too long,
I've been gone for far too long,
people-watching from the same place,

Until someone resembles you.

can we stay while I articulate
and sleep under the sun
a brand new house to start again
ashamed and full of dread
I'm counting down the days

wishing my life away
?

you've abandoned your brain for a good time

too sweet for me
you're the ache in my teeth

I always seem to go back to the same songs
I always fall asleep in someone else's bed
tell me something of substance
to make up for this meaning-stripped world

let's act like it's all okay
for I cannot thrive without you
although I am proud of who I am,
I'm sorry for not feeling the way I want to feel.

I'm sorry for not loving you anymore.

no one can fill this space you create
a cure for my loneliness
a distraction from pain
(so come back to me, come back to your girl)
I'll tell you how I feel if you provide what I need.

it's a shame you can't be perfect for me,
please just adore me like I've asked you to.
and my sobbing *** would kiss your face,
every time you muttered "goodbye."

I'll shiver with you against this cold

you laugh like you're mine, but it's just not our time
my mind has been betraying me.
my mind has a habit of betraying me.
and I still belong to you,
so teach me how to erase your memory
when I'm out of the loop on your life

and these drunken decisions haunt me in segments.

I'm hopeless for the future
and it's all because of you
deceit is a skill, and I'm willing to learn.

I'm surprised at my own indifference
when something so real becomes distant
my friends turning into strangers
my nights turning into days.

I long to dance in your world,
to feel the solemn comfort of your arms around me
but I can't seem to find the line between the good and the insane.

I've cried tears of pain in your absence
leaving me with no person to turn to

[ I've found a rebound, it feels like I'm dream-bound
a more painless route for my heart to depart
I can't bear the pain a second time around ]

hookup with a looker
I can't do it anymore
unfulfilled and out of time.
thinking meaningless things matter.
making time for purposeless friends.
I can't sleep 'cause this brain of mine is on overdrive

craving a smoke to forget you
hoping your heaven is full of debris
when I'm left to myself, that's when I'm free
and I'm star-kissed under the moon

I was in love, I was abandoned.

to be in love, to be abandoned.

to be consumed by a brand new best friend,
you've swept me off my feet, and I know you will never let go.
