I remember every weekend sitting on your couch
How we'd laugh cause nobody cared
Starting at your face in the reflection of my phone
How I longed to touch it then
I know nobody knew what we had
And that's fun but i feel underpaid
Did you keep us secret to keep me safe,
Or were you just ashamed
Cause I know we're done
But i can't control myself
Cause if the world falls over
would you pick me up
If not, I'm gonna have to go
I know we've never said it
But i don't think it's hard to see
With the way you talk around me
Would it kill you to make a move
And I know we're done
But I can't control myself
Cause if the world falls over
Would you pick me up
If not, I'm gonna have to go
I watch you watch your phone all night
I watch you watch the walls all night
I watch you think of what to say to me
Cause I know we're done
But i can't control myself
Cause if the world falls over
Would you pick me up
If not, I'm gonna have to go

I could light you up,
I could show you what you've never seen,
show you what you've never been,
I could take you up,
I could give you everything you need,
Be the air you need to breathe
Take me closer to you,
Take my hand and take me out under the moonlight
Be the wind under you
But the world will never see what it was like, cause
I know it could never work, but
baby we had potential
you and your bright-eyed smirk, my
pretty queen hair and eyes, i know
I'm not yours, I'm
basically presidential,
keep our love in a drawer, I'll
keep my heart guarded up, oh
You know you're a fraud,
What's it like living the perfect lie,
Living like you'll never die?
When the world goes dark
Would you pack up all your things and leave,
Would you say goodbye to me
I know it could never work, but
baby we had potential
you and your bright-eyed smirk, my
pretty queen hair and eyes, i know
I'm not yours, I'm
basically presidential,
keep our love in a drawer, I'll
keep my heart guarded up, oh
I know it could never work, but
baby we had potential
you and your bright-eyed smirk, my
pretty queen hair and eyes, i know
I'm not yours, I'm

keep my heart guarded up, oh

baby im here
baby don't worry
darling just take my hand
and follow my lead
I'll keep you safe
I'll keep your hands warm
I'll keep you happy
I'll keep you okay
When the going gets tough
and you think you're alone
I can promise you I'll
give you all that I own
oh you're my angel
babe i was lost
oh i couldnt find my way
trie to look up
but the clouds hid the sun away
but then came you
then came your bright eyes
then all the clouds dissolved
and we danced in the light
when the future was bleak
and I couldn't believe
you gave me my hope
and taught me to dream
And I couldnt explain what i couldnt believe
Cause you gave me your word and I gave you my things

If I Were a Girl

In your future, do you imagine a girl like me?
I don't believe that you would have it any other way
In retrospect I think I've loved you for four years,
In my defence, you couldn't have been harder to hate
I've spent hours
lying on the floor
Trying to find out
How to make you want me more
Cause if i were a girl, I'm sure you'd love me
And if i were a girl, I'm sure you'd want me more
And I can't read between the lines you tell me,
tell me it straight up, I never planned to fall
Never planned to fall this hard
Do you remember the night we danced in the ash,
you know my lumberjack shirt still smells like a forest fire
I spent forever building walls around my heart,
but even bulletproof glass is able to shatter
Cause if i were a girl, I'm sure you'd love me
And if i were a girl, I'm sure you'd want me more
And I can't read between the lines you tell me,
tell me it straight up, I never planned to fall
Never planned to fall this hard
I see the chain around your neck,
I see the chain beside our bed,
maybe you'd ask if I was cold,
and hold me all the night instead,
I don't remember another time
that I saw your eyes looking in mine,
but that night you did,
again and again and again and again
But if i were a girl, I'm sure you'd love me
And if i were a girl, I'm sure you'd want me more
I still can't read between the lines you tell me,
tell me it straight up, I never planned to fall
Never planned to fall this hard

Never Understand
02:57
|
|

I used to be so afraid
to know people i know
But who would I be to say
That nothing mattered at all
When all is said and done
Would you still be the one
When all I know is gone
Would anyone listen at all
You could never understand
Never understand
In favour of honesty
I must admit I'm slow
But pardon me to say
I miss you more than you know, and
I could tell you but you'd never understand
No, you'd never understand
My eyes will open to you
I will become someone new
I will destroy what I knew
I will become someone new

Anymore

If I was a doctor would you let me operate on you
If I was a cheerleader would you let me cheer for you
If I was a loser would you let me get lost with you
If I was an actor would you let me pretend I was you
cause I know
when you're gone
I won't have someone around anymore
If you were a doctor I would let you operate on me
If you were a cheerleader I would let you cheer for me
If you were a loser I would let you get lost with me
But if you were an actor I'd say I'm not what you should pretend to be
cause I know
when youre gone
I won't have someone around anymore
I mean think about it
did you really think that any of this wouldnt burn up,
cause like think about it
it really doesn't seem that stable now does it
cause I know
when you're gone
I won't have someone around
anymore

You made me feel stupid
You made me feel dumb
You made me feel useless
You made me wanna run
You called my art boring
You called my art blunt
Now I found somebody
Who doesnt think my music sucks
I'm sorry your mum died
It should have been you
Know she's dissapointed
In everything you do
And you know it's so stupid
How you're totally fine
I let you off easy
you left me confined

Take Me Home

i never learned to pay my dues before
never bothered to bother anyone anyone else
Everything you did, it meant the world
But I can't see you round anyone anyone else
I know it's strange that I'm jealous of you
I can't explain what makes it so moot
but the way you talk around your friends
was I ever what you wanted to know
I'll fall to the ground
in the dead of night
I'll find something else
to wrap my head around
and forget everything
I said I wouldn't say
somebody take me home
you'll find another friend
you'll find another life
you'll chase some other girl
you'll find some other bride
you'll find the better parts
you'll find a ring of light
and I'll find somebody else to blame
somebody take me home

Bite
03:02

You talk to me
with a glimmer i see in your eyes
but you talk round your friends
like another man did I go blind?
because I know it's cliche
and I know it's kinda gross
But they'll never love you
like I do the most
look me in the eyes
promise i wont bite
look me in the eyes
do you feel it, do you feel it as well?
17 years and you're already burned to the ground
but I've been right here all throughout your ups and your downs
because I know it's cliche
and I know it's kinda gross
But they'll never love you
like I do the most
look me in the eyes
promise i wont bite
look me in the eyes
do you feel it, do you feel it as well?
look me in the eyes
promise i wont bite
look me in the eyes
do you feel it, do you feel it as well?

Shoulder

I was sleeping on your shoulder
In the back of your mother's car
Remember the night you told her
She said she couldnt be more proud
Remember when you told your sister
She was happy it was me
Cause she likes to make fun of you
And I join in happily
Is it alright if I never leave you alone
Is it alright if I never leave you be
I can't explain why i love you so
just know it means a lot to me
remember when we went to the park
you let me do your makeup
we laughed and joked about the way things are
And you wanted me to know
It was alright if I never left you alone
It was okay if I never left you be
You couldn't explain why you loved me so,
But know it means a lot to me
