As I sit here tossing and turning
In this
Empty
Bed
I still can't stomach
Any of the words that you said
You thought there was more to me
Than just a broken mess
Well here's to humble beginnings
And pathetic ends
I just can not see
And I can't believe
How you could leave
Me down on my knees
And my heart will bleed
And my lungs will scream
(lungs will scream)
"Not for you love
But for the one that I loved in my dreams"
I open my mouth but you still hear me wrong
I know I can't see your face after so long
You left me for dead and you told me to be strong
Time fucking flies when you're too weak to move on
Time fucking flies when you're too weak to move on
I just can not see
And I can't believe
How you could leave
Me down on my knees
And my heart will bleed
And my lungs will scream
(lungs will scream)
"Not for you love
But for the one that I loved in my dreams"

I'm overconfident
In the fact that I'm not
Confident I try to put my thoughts into words
But when the words come out they don't make sense
What was I thinking?
Why the fuck was I drinking?
When you told me that you loved me and I just let you go
And when the sun comes up I still miss you
And only in my dreams can I kiss you
I swear to God if you were hear
I would only tell you things you'd want to hear
I spent all of my time
Playing with my hands
I just wish we could make some plans but you won't even give me a chance
And if there's a purpose and meaning in everything
Then why is the heart inside this chest still beating?
I'm incompetent
The words on the tip of my tongue
Or the letters I wrote to you but never sent

I've become nothing
All these feelings leave no meaning
Stuck between skin and bone
Useless to call your phone
It's become plain to see you no longer need me
Something
All the blind can see
Stuck between
(You and me)
Who's that lying my head?
Stuck between
(You and me)
Who's that laying in my bed?
And all my teeth rot out of my head
From eating words I should have said
Was my signal not bright enough?
Or did I just not call your bluff?
Wishful thinking
(Wishful thinking)

I guess I'm leaving
Without these feelings
This absence
Bared no innocence
Take all the answers and lay me to waste
Take all the answers and lay me to waste
Take all the answers and lay me to waste
Lay me to waste
Multiple problems
Empty my bin
Save me honey
For I have sinned
We were too afraid
We fell too
Late
I was just a fish
That took the bait
Multiple problems
Empty my bin
Save me honey
For I have sinned
We were too afraid
We fell too
Late
I was just a fish
That took the bait

Where Love Goes To Die

Finding the courage
To say the words
To your face
As sometimes the feelings
Out of place
One hour a day I can't keep my feelings away
And it's a price my sleep has to pay
Just leave me alone
I won't answer my phone
Me, myself, and I fight
Yet none of us will be alright
Running out of time and chances
It's like my heart is
Learning dances
Just let me hold your hand
And let me take you away
From this land
Just leave me alone
I won't answer my phone
Me, myself, and I fight
Yet none of us will be alright
Just leave me alone
Just
Leave me alone

At 3 AM I send these messages to you expecting no reply
But my fear is shook when I saw you looked so I tried to hide
And I somehow can't find the words to say
All of these feelings
They've gone away
That's not the way it's supposed to be
We were supposed to run away
But you chose him instead of me
And it's hard when your life has fallen down a drained well
When I look at you from the outside I could never tell
And I can't believe it's for you who it broke
You've hung me from this tree so much that I cannot choke
I can't believe I'm saying these things
Late at night
And I'm wasting my phone battery on something so stupid
You were the one, keeping me out of the light
I now believe you were brought by someone other than Cupid

"I'll call you later" she said on the phone
Little did we know
I'd be left all alone
Water filled my sunken lungs
Our bodies are
Forever done
Why
Do
You
All do this to me?
When
Will
We
Finally be set free?
[aaaaaaahhhhh]
Long sentences and paragraphs cannot divide this
Space you have
Put between us
It's hard to realize I spent a year
By Lust
But don't call my phone
When you're all alone
You'll just be waiting
On the dial tone
But don't call my phone
When you're all alone
You'll just be waiting
On the dial tone
Packed bags and loaded cars
This conversation is moving
(Moving)
Very far
You wrote in my yearbook that you'd miss me
Is that true
Or are you a liar?

It's been a year
Since you had hung up the phone
So why is it so hard
For you to leave
Me alone?
Struggling with the difficulty to change who
I was
Wandering last Summer
All alone
Without a cause
Ghost and be ghosted by the thought of intimacy
Looking up at the sky
Wondering if they'll give me the key
Staring at the phone
I never thought you’d call
This bed feels empty again
So much for the honesty you promised me
On my own
Skipped this chapter of my life
But I didn't realize that the pages were stuck together
In between this bitterness
There was a possible happiness
If I tried
Hard enough
Trying not to psyche myself taking this opportunity
Slowly
Looking always at the moon
Laying alone in my room
Hoping to see you
In my dreams
Being all alone
Is all I’ve ever known
This second guessing
Is never ending
I never cared to take the low road back home
I'm Sinking in again
Getting played by a different hand
Fuck your lies
And fuck your cries
The attention you need was never there at all
(Tomorrow calls
Harboring the ghost you hide)
Never even there at all
I know, I know I’m wrong
To call out of today
I know, I know I’m wrong
To throw the past away
I know, I know I’m wrong
To call out of today
I know, I know I’m wrong
Wrong
