I'm concerned that you'll miss out on love
Why can't you settle down
Cause there's no greater feeling they say
than to give yourself away
now i know that you'll figure this out
why's it taking so long?
I just wanted to be a better version of me for you
to do all the things it seems, that everyone else can do
to give all the love i know, I always wanted to give
I wanted to give.
Don't worry be patient
I'm taking my time
There's no better agent
Than changing your mind
I just wanted to be a better version of me for you
to do all the things it seems, that everyone else can do
to give all the love i know, I've always wanted to give
I wanted to give
I wanted to give
I wanted to give

Please stop calling
03:03

Someone keeps calling me, but I don't answer the phone
I don't want anyone to reach me when I am home alone
So now, to avoid the tension, I forgot to mention one thing
That I crave all of your attention, just as long as you don't mention my name
Cause I don't want your love if it comes with these stipulations
and I don't have to fall for you to see through manipulation
I don't have to tell you I was right
I don't have to show you how I fight
Please don't tell my father I was here
Everything's in motion and it's getting very queer
I might think your love is what I need
Everything is different than it seems
You don't know me anymore
And I'm not trying to keep score
You don't get to see who I turn out to be
So keep on calling, just keep stalling, I don't want to know
What you want and what I need, oh please just let me go
you don't know me anymore
and you don't get to see, me
Now go tell everyone I was here
Everything's in motion and it's getting very queer

12 year funeral
04:14
|
|||
|
I wasn't there to sit at the funeral
I wasn't there, my brother cried
I couldn't bear to hear the new sermon,
you know why
I didn't come and sit at your deathbed
we didn't have much more to say
I didn't fit inside of your family
it's okay
cause I know and you know I tried
were you just waiting to die
We lost our chance to move past when I asked and you couldn't look me in the eye
-
I had mourned you
long ago
there was never
room to grow
I'm still not sure if all was forgiven
all of my memories are a blur
now I'm not sure the life that you lived and who you were
I'll never know if you ever told him
you read the fear between the lines
maybe you knew you couldn't protect me
that's just fine
Cause I know and you know I tried
were you just waiting to die
We lost our chance to move past when I asked and you couldn't look me in the eye
-
I had mourned you
long ago
There is nothing
more to know

Warning sign

You're hurt like I'm hurt and I
can't take it all away
I feel how you feel it's just
delayed reaction, living
without distraction
and I know you can't escape
but they locked the door and we're several floors above the ground
I'll absorb your cries
until they're mine, until they're mine
I'll contain your screams
until you're seen, you must be seen
I'll absorb your cries
until it eats me alive
I'll contain your screams
until I burst at the seams
They stole our hearts
we fell apart
We took them back
caught in the act

Bitch Tantrum
01:28
|
|||
|
I'm a sentimental, emotional bitch and I care too much about what you think
Told myself that I really don't care but the longer you're there, oh the more it's not fair
So I'll leave without saying goodbye and I don't know why cause it hurts and I
Can't stop crying, I just can't stop crying, it feels like I'm dying,
are we all just dying?
I don't know the way, but we cannot stay, will we be okay
Nobody knows
Like a child now who's throwing a tantrum
I'm bad with transitions and heartfelt admissions, so
Don't expect to hear from me, I'm disappearing, I'm quite hard of hearing,
what did you just say to me?
Oh, you love me, you'll miss me, I'm sorry
I feel the same way, it's just kind of alarming
I just can't escape all the lies that I've told myself
You're better off if I just never speak to you
Never speak to me, you're too nice to me, nothing's wrong with me
I'm gonna go.
