i said i'd write you pages & pages
but all of those pages turned to short phrases
& you always said that i meant so much to you
& if that's the case, then i'll be sure to keep in touch
& i'm moving on
its always the darkest right before the dawn
& even though i tried
you breaking everything has helped me to see
brighter stars

gone away
don't know why
gone away
but i'll love her
'till i die
you'd think with all of the friends & all the loose ends
then maybe i could figure it out
and with all of the talk & the time on the clock
then maybe baby we could figure it out
but then she left me alone
& she's never coming home
to this midwest town
& if she ever came back, oh if she ever came back
then maybe i would still be around
gone away
don't know why
gone away
but i'll love her
'till i die
you'd think through all of the years & all of the tears
then maybe baby we could find where it all went wrong
through all of our nights with all of the lights
this town won't always be our home
but now she left me alone
& she's never coming home
to this midwest town
& if she ever came back, oh if she ever came back
then maybe i would still be around
gone away
don't know why
gone away
but i'll love her
'till i die
we sat alone & watched the red sun rise
i can still see the tears welling in her hazel eyes
we sat and sang as the summer began
i wish it wasn't true
gone away
don't know why
gone away
but i'll love her
we're singing
gone away
don't know why
gone away
but i'll love her
'till i die

Words Unsaid

time's been around
i felt my eyes
grow brighter and brighter at night
you're all i see, babe
you called out loud
now i feel every word you say
i hear this cold, cold, lie
but you know
when i see your haunting soul
is where my eyes will be alive as your feet rise off the earth
your haunting soul begins to take control
& i solemnly prepare myself to be beaten with your words
the ghost of my girl
leaving the ground
my body's cold
the last lie that you told
is why i'm here
make these waters clear
show your face
put to rest my resting place
i still hear that cold, cold, lie
but you know
when i see your haunting soul
is where my eyes will be alive as your feet rise off the earth
your haunting soul begins to take control
& i solemnly prepare myself to be beaten with your words
the ghost of my girl
take these vices
'cause my heart already hurts
& cut this life short
'cause for you i'd risk it all
take these hands
& leave these bloody words unsaid
but you know
when i see your haunting soul
is where my eyes will be alive as your feet rise off the earth
your haunting soul begins to take control
& i solemnly prepare myself to be beaten with your words
the ghost of my girl

Making Me Realize

i could find a million ways
to show you why i'll never be the same
your gain
& darling, won't you stay a while?
i'll drive 'till dawn just to see that smile
i'll drive the miles
i kissed you once, i'm through
your love is all i need to live in this world with you
& when you speak, i fly
together we can ride the night sky
the stars, they shine for your eyes
overwhelmed is all i've been
since the moment that you walked in
helped me up in the pouring rain
you always give, with nothing left to gain
you've made my pain
i kissed you once, i'm through
your love is all i need to live in this world with you
& when you speak, i fly
together we can ride the night sky
the stars, they shine for your eyes
& i will stay up in the night
& feel the coldness of my sides
& i will sit and watch this burn
young at heart, i can't deserve
i kissed you once, i'm through
your love is all i need to live in this world with you
& when you speak, i fly
together we can ride the night sky
the stars, they shine for your eyes

Not Quite Sure
02:55

the phone is ringing
& i wish it was you
my mind keeps wandering
i'm so damn confused
because its everything that we had before
but i'm still not quite sure if i'll be staying
to watch you fall
why did i think that you would be any different?
just another sad song, drowning me in the deep end
because its everything that we had before
but i'm still not quite sure if i'll be staying
to watch you fall
this time, theres no need for the mess
i'll just turn away, like i'll never miss this
you've got me so wrapped up in my mind
& if i was your answer, then i have a question
did it hurt you when i said
this is the end
because its everything that we had before
but i'm still not quite sure if i'll be staying
to watch you fall

Take Me Home

i am a dreamer, but also a schemer
its gotten me where i have wanted
out on the doorstep, a kiss on your forehead
let the wind sing you softly to sleep
but baby please
take me home to find i'm all alone
let me lie beside you all night
hold me close
i'm closer, you know
i saw it my mother's eyes
the heartbreak was not easily disguised
& i will try to start again
just know that i will always be condemned
but baby please
take me home to find i'm all alone
let me lie beside you all night
hold me close
i'm closer, you know

A Heated Love Affair

started with your girlish charm
you held my hand, i felt your heart beat
as we fell asleep
fast forward to the summer time
when i was yours and you were mine
my darling, please fall asleep
'cause i can feel your pain
you left me blank and drawn-out on the floor
you said, "i'm not in love with you"
you should know that i'm never coming home
& i need you to know that i'm letting go
back to when i saw you there
your loving smile, your dark brown hair
we danced in the street
& now we don't speak a word
i never even got to say
what i really mean
'cause i can feel your pain
you left me blank and drawn-out on the floor
you said, "i'm not in love with you"
you should know that i'm never coming home
& i need you to know that i'm letting go
you set my heart on fire
& it burns like hell
oh, you fooled me well
you set my heart on fire
& it burns like hell
you should know that i'm never coming home
& i need you to know that i'm letting go

new york oceans,
unlike ashes
swaying branches
close the door
words like gunshots
felt my heart stop
burning teardrops
say no more
fearing friday
what can i say?
nothing to say
i'm on the floor
all of this pain
it brings me close to you now
but i can't breathe your name
& all the same
i need to speak to you now
i can't breathe your name
one last drink now
if i'd known then
what i know
no, i'd never let it end
fearing friday
what can i say?
nothing to say
i'm on the floor
all of this pain
it brings me close to you know
i can't breathe your name
& all the same
i need to speak to you now
i can't breathe your name
& all of this pain
it brings me close to you know
i can't breathe your name
& all the same
i need to speak to you know
but i can't breathe your name

many are the miles
but only for while
'cause i'd walk the world
just to see that smile
back in the day
you were, if i may,
so beautiful
it's impossible to say
& i could never find a chance to say
that its all okay
said its all okay
take my life & try to make you proud
yeah, its all okay
said its all okay
many are the miles
but only for a while
'cause i'd walk the world
just to see that smile
& i could never find a chance to say
that its all okay
said its all okay
take my life & try to make you proud
said its all okay
yeah, its all okay
its all okay

Three Missed Calls

three missed calls
on a saturday night
i try to get past it
but its just not right
& with all these thoughts in my head
maybe i'm better off dead
i wish we were still the same
can't take back those words you said
& now i'm not afraid to run instead
these last few months i've spent on you
will haunt my mind
but i'm still missing you
three missed calls on a saturday night
i try to hold back with all my might (let's not start this again)
& out of all the things
i heard you shout
my favorite was the part about
never seeing you again
can't take back those words you said
& now i'm not afraid to run instead
these last few months i've spent on you
will haunt my mind
but i'm still missing you
(it wasn't worth it)
three missed calls on a saturday night
(it wasn't worth it)
i try to hold back with all my might
(it wasn't worth it)
can't take back those words you said
& now i'm not afraid to run instead
these last few months i've spent on you
will haunt my mind
but i'm still missing you

we made our move, yet you played it so cool
not a thing left to prove except turn me into a fool
i've got a lot of problems, yeah i come fully equipped with a past
but i swear to you, i swear to life itself
i've got enough heart to make anything i love last
in for the money so we can catch shade under those money trees
but lost in the branches, we caught vinegar instead of honey
from the buzzing to the stingers of those rustling honeybees
every rose has its thorns
well, you want thorns?
i've got a few, yeah i've got plenty
i'm starting a collection, gonna take roll call
even the prettiest rose petals fall, regardless of how gently
this ain't no sing along, at this point I'm finally about to break
i just need a place to rest my eyes and my ears
cause listening to your heart is a sound my tears can't shake, won't quake, no matter which forged, porcelain path I take
you shine like everything golden
to me you are everything golden under the sun
been down a few different roads a time or two,
for you I believe I would go down them again, even when it's no fun
now, the best part of this, the best part of believe is the lie
it only hurts when I'm breathing, don't make it worse
don't you dare laugh while i cry
smile like you mean it, & you said to smile while we're both still alive
jumping at the chance to leap & touch tall buildings while we bound to the deepest, bluest sky
it all tastes the same when the end of the day is near
so with a bending heart that won't ever fully break & big bright eyes colored so true, loud, and clear
sail away into the sunset, with no regrets
in the same beaten and bruised hands you've held your sadness
as well as your hopes & your fear
