I don’t wanna hold you here or carve your name in my head any longer
For a while thought you were glazed all up in sweet but sucked you sour
I remember
Somehow thought you’d eventually figure it out
I was cold
I was sick
Sniffling in the sanitary prison
Dedicated an old song to the son of Steven
If you didn’t wanna touch my face, well say so
I’m a big a girl
And if you didn’t want my love you should’ve said so
I’m a quick one
If it’s too fucked for fun for freedom in your head room
I don’t blame you
I felt it too
I heard through headphones and in grapevines the disgust at the cold weather
Always wanted a sunny smile and no gloves straight through the winter
And you kept the heater pointed at your hands while I had shivered
I remember
Summer sun can’t fix what we had already put out
If you didn’t wanna touch my face, well say so
I’m a big girl
And if you didn’t want my love you should’ve said so
I’m a quick one
If it’s too fucked for fun for freedom in your head room
I don’t blame you
I felt it too
I felt it too
I don’t wanna hold you here or carve your name in my head any longer
For a while thought you were glazed all up in sweet but now you’re sour
I remember

I stand in line again
Waiting for the band to play
And he hates every word out of my mouth
But listens to me anyway
Thought I glowed for a little while
Thought he liked my brain
But I’m not all that pretty and I can see it in his eyes
He doesn’t want me at his place
After class, she’s a mess, get some rest
You look really fucking tired
I guess that’s cause I haven’t slept
And it’s been a long while since I
Felt like my eyes could finally see
Like somebody actually wanted me
You might think that’s stupid
But in my mind it’s what it’s telling me
Felt like you wanted to hold my hand
I wanna talk to my friends again
But I pushed everyone away
I guess that’s why nobody stayed
Im sorry if I say sorry a million times
Im sorry that right now I just apologized
I kind of have this tendency to think everyone hates me, if you think it’s annoying you think of how much it’s fucking killing me
After class, she’s a mess, get some rest
You look really fucking tired
I guess that’s cause I haven’t slept
And it’s been a long while since I
Felt like my eyes could finally see
Like somebody actually wanted me
You might think that’s stupid
But in my mind it’s what it’s telling me
Felt like you wanted to hold my hand
I wanna talk to my friends again
But I pushed everyone away
I guess that’s why nobody stayed
Felt like my eyes could finally see
I never like the person staring back at me
You might think it’s stupid
I get it, it’s pretty stupid
Felt like my eyes could finally see
Like somebody actually wanted me
You might think that’s stupid
But in my mind it’s what it’s telling me
Felt like you wanted to hold my hand
I wanna talk to my friends again
But I pushed everyone away
And oh god if you could just please stay
But I push everyone away
I guess that’s why nobody stays

Give It A Go

Are you getting better at pretending?
I saw you come home late last evening
I won't tell your mom if you don't tell mine
Seeing scary shapes out the window
Making puppets right out of our shadows
I kinda like you better when you're not high
Super long legs, don't fall behind
You said let's give it a go
Set your alarm for 11:10
We can use all the wishes we can get
I'm asking for you to get better with mine
I kinda like you if you don't know
You can wake me in your bed tomorrow
It's a place where I like to spend all my time
Super long legs, don't fall behind
You said let's give it a go
Are you getting better at pretending?
I see the words but no one's listening
You know I lie too when I say I'm fine
Super long legs, if you're gonna fall behind
You said honey, I don't know
But I wanna give it a go
Give it a go
If you wanna run, I'll pack my suitcase
If you wanna run, I'll pack my suitcase

If I don't believe in faith
Does that change the way that
the sky looks down on me?
If I can't convince myself of luck
I've never won a raffle basket
but I bought so many tickets
And I don't think my dad's still here
Maybe he just doesn't show up cause he knows I'm scared of ghosts
And I don't think he likes my new songs anyways
I know it's not the time to be scared
But I can't help but hide when people stare
Maybe they think I eat too many carbs and calories
And I have all these expectations
When I was six, I wanted forty different mansions
Now I can't even rent an apartment
I don't believe in 2nd chances
I've given four, five, even seven
People never really change
And I don't think my dad's still here
Maybe he just doesn't show up cause he knows I'm scared of ghosts
And I don't even think he likes me anymore
I know it's not the time to be scared
But I can't help but hide when people stare
Maybe if I sit down, the world will just stop noticing me
And I have all these expectations
When I was six, I wanted forty different mansions
Now I can't even rent an apartment
I know it's not the time to be scared
But I can't help but hide when people stare
I'm not doing what is best for me

This is for the time you broke your arm
Swinging off monkey bars
Now you set your alarm
For five o’clock each morning
And no time to shower or you’ll be so late again
She misses the weather in Connecticut
Whether sun or snow, just for the hell of it
If she could go back home she would
But they tore down her house in the middle of the woods
The conversation she had with her mom ended in a car crash all over her tongue
And it was her new car
She said
Im scared of dying but even more scared of just being alone in this god damn room
She told me to take back everything I said, but how could I do that if it was all true
Don’t wait
I know you’re caught up on helping people who don’t care about you
But you’re not your father and you’re not your mother too
Friends all moved when it turned 92
And windows don’t roll down in your car that’s used
There’s a stain on the passenger side
Bet it had a good story in someone else’s life
The conversation she had with her mom ended in a car crash all over her tongue
She can’t afford a new one
This is for the time they broke your heart
This is for the time they broke your heart
This is for the time they broke your heart
This is for the time you broke your heart
Oh you broke your heart
Oh you broke your own heart
The conversation she had with her mom
If she could just have her baby back
She wouldn’t fight at all
Im scared of dying but even more scared of just being alone in this god damn room
She told me to take back everything I said, but how could I do that if it was all true
Don’t wait
I know you’re caught up on helping people who don’t care about you
But you’re not your father and you’re not your mother too
You are so much more than what you think people think about you
Yeah, you’re so much more than what you think people think about you
