Intro 01:21
2.
Sitting in an airport Trying to remember All the things I ever learned about keeping it together But then I saw you walk through the open door And nothing mattered any more Where we are is showing scars, and saying hello Where we go nobody knows I guess that goes to show First I took your hand Then I kissed your mouth Then I took a breath Then I let it out Nothing tastes like you did Nothing feels like you did You said you'd talk, you said you'd call Its been 3 months, and nothing's changed at all Nothing changed at all
3.
That building over there It's where I live I hope you'll come by soon I'll show you my room They see me at the edge, It's where I lean Trying not to fall away Trying not to scream out loud The person over there He looks like me He looks like a bastard Heartless How dare I be, so mean, to somebody who's always been so genuine to me. So now, I'll say goodbye Tell me how you're better off now Did you tell him that you hate me Tell me that you hate me now When its all done This will all be over quickly And when, it's done Will you say you miss me Will you say you miss me

I asked her if I talk to loud Every time that I open up my mouth But now I’m talking quietly I'm talking quietly Talking quietly now So, don't make me go, I don't want this any more than you do Breathing too slow, feels better than before I started crying when I was walking down the stairs, and I heard that you were happy, and I'm hoping that you cared, I started feeling better as I tried to run away, but you chased me down and made me think about it every day, and I didn’t mean for it to be like this, I didn’t mean for it to end up with you feeling like I was the one abandoning, or that I couldn’t keep up, I'm sorry, but I felt really closed in and like I couldn’t breathe, and my anxiety went off the charts, and it hurt me head and made me want to be sick, and I just couldn’t deal with that any more I just can’t but I'll Re wire my brain (Take it apart) Keep my mind sane (Dont lose it) I'm sorry that I hurt you I'm sorry that I cared I'm sorry I saw through you I'm sorry I was scared Just stop thinking it (Please) Just stop saying it (Please) Just stop dreaming it (Please) Stop beliving it I'm sorry if I'm telling you this wasn't meant to be, the way that it went, cause the way that it went was down, down, buried far away, dropped into the ocean and sunk beneath the waves It won’t matter to me (anymore) Breathe me out, like the smoke on your lips, am I killing you better, than they ever did? (Please) Don't think about it Don't think about it Don't think about it Don't think about it I'm sorry that I hurt you I'm sorry that I cared I'm sorry I saw through you I'm sorry I was scared
 Pulling me back so forcefully Forcefully Doesn't matter in the end Cause its crushing my head I don’t wanna feel this I'm trying to tell you what it's like to be me Take my arms Take My Breath Take My Heart Take what's next I don't care, I can't see, I'm so blind, I'm not free, I'm not close, I'm too far, there's a cut, now it's a scar, I feel alone I feel alone I feel alone I feel alone I feel so alone (Please) Don't think about it Don't think about it Don't think about it Don't think about it Do you dream about it Do you dream about it Do you dream about it Do you dream

I'm lost again For the last time I think Thats what I said last time I think I'm still all alone Got lost on my own and I haven’t seen the sun in weeks I came out of my shell And fell down to hell No chance left of coming back clean Remember when this felt like home? Not just a bed To rest my head While I sleep The winter got colder And I got older I outgrew you You didn’t change Such a shame Such a shame Such a shame to see All the little things you did make sense from the outside (better than me) All the little things I did (better than me) Now seem wrong All the little things I'd change looking at my past life (better than me) All the little things I'd have changed (better than me) All along If this is how I get to you You'll be better than me If this is how i get through to you You'll be better than me

Coffee+Beer 04:55
I miss touching your body I miss breathing your air I don't wanna go to bed, cause you aren’t there I miss tasting your kisses I miss touching your hair I wish we weren’t just messing around, this isn’t fair I see your ghosts, at my show So i just want you to know I miss touching your body, and breathing your air I got better at lying I got better in bed I got better at thinking way to hard about what I said I got better at hiding I got stuck in my head i guess it's much more fun to play pretend instead So I, I don’t know why, why did I give all this a try I guess got better at lying, and better in bed I'll stop buying you coffee, (stop buying you coffee) And start buying you beer, (another beer) I'll do it slow so it won’t feel so goddamn weird (so damn weird) I'll start being a zombie (start being a zombie) I'll stop keeping you near (stop keeping you near) And I'll make believe that you were never here (Never, ever, here) Do you know, what I mean, I said it feels good to scream I'll stop buying you coffee, start buying you beer And it hurts on the inside And I think I want to die I'm still missing your body I'm still missing your air Next time I'll try to be More aware

I'm calling you, say my name, promise it won't hurt again I'm calling you, to set it straight, I want to love, I don't want to hate I'm calling you, don’t be afraid, I’m better now, I've got it made I'm calling you, be anything, I'm begging you, cause my whole body aches Don’t fade away Like every other day, that came before, and will come again Dont be too late, don’t try to mess with fate, because I know what this could be What this could be Don’t speak It makes this harder Don't think It makes this better Don’t be With any other I can’t breathe I need you closer I need you here Don’t fade away Like every other day, that came before, and will come again Don't be too late, don’t try to mess with fate, because I know what all of this could be, just don’t leave, just don’t leave, don’t leave me

Untitled 03:32
Why did you call If you jump, you fall Don't say how I can't do this here Won't do this now Don't do this now If we are who we are, Then we came way too far If you check if I'm alright, you will get no reply Got no regrets, for the time That i gave to you, but please, give me mine If I see you on the other side I'll get no reply So close your eyes and say goodbye I hear its cold And i hope its cold where you are

Skeleton 07:49
I think you know my name, I don't think I know yours I'm sorry if you're tired, I'm sorry if you're bored I guess trying too hard didn't do enough, so now you have to see What it's like to be living without me Do you know how it feels to have the rug pulled from beneath Cause it doesn’t feel so great, when you have fallen to you knees Sticking fingers into wax, trying writing on the wall But fire’s getting higher, and it just consumed it all Every time you came around here, just to try to set me off Made me angry, made me bitter, made me sick, made me cough But now I’m lithe like a skeleton, live like a skeleton, live like a skeleton, die like a skeleton You don’t hurt me any more I'm not thinking about you tonight I'm not thinking about you tonight Won't turn around and open up that door I'm not thinking about you tonight I'm not thinking about you tonight Don't wanna hold this anger anymore

I'm Home 02:39
I woke up today with the sun in my face, and your smile in the back of my mind I woke up so late, I was crushed by the weight of dreaming that you were still mine I woke up today with a song in my brain, that was hopeful and sad at the same time It said carry on, you are tall, you are strong, but I'm still waiting to find So Let me go Make it fast Make it slow I I don’t mind Just as long as we can make this The last time for you For me But if you are drinking alone And if you're looking through your telephone And wondering if somebody is home I'm home
