Ill paint you a picture with words that I wrote
Ill send you a letter when I cant use my throat
Read out my confessions Ill pour them all out
for what its worth I'm sorry, for tearing you down
we've come so far without love its so tasteless
Ive been running for so long i lost all faith in this
so hold me close
before you go
and let me know
if you're coming home
You said you wont forget me
or the way my hands tangled in your head
you said your gonna miss me
but telling lies like that isn't fair
most days I don't feel like talking
when I do
I know nobodies listening
Look across a room crowded with people
rearranging face trying to find you
so hold me close
before you go
and let me know
if you're coming home
We are young
We are afraid

Ive been writing for a year now
ever since you left my hometown
thank god you're out of my life ive been feeling much better but im still not right
last year was my worst year
next year isn't looking up
i guess ill sit in my basement get drunk hang around and throw up
Next year ill be over it
but im a liar just like you
why'd you have to say you love me
well I guess i did to
i told myself id never walk to your house
told myself id never walk to my house
maybe next year ill be standing right here
I wrote a song or two
on getting better but
I think i lied to you
im getting worse by the day
and all my friends are saying
I should be over it
Last year was a nightmare and i cant wake up
I wanna know what you were thinking about when it all went south
did you feel the hands around your throat
like I did, Like i did
Its harder to breathe
but you know It was never easy
Im getting better
at getting worse
thats what you thought me
what you thought me
i told myself id never walk to your house
told myself id never walk to my house
maybe next year ill be standing right here
I wrote a song or two
on getting better but
I think i lied to you
im getting worse by the day
and all my friends are saying
I should be over it
Last year was a nightmare and i cant wake up
Smoke a joint or two
but than Id be like you
so ill just write some songs and maybe you would sing along
and it was time to say that you were sick of me
if i were you i guess i would be too
did you think of me when you were in his arms
he'll probably let go
I fucking hope so
did you think of me when you were falling in love
thats how it felt to be me

You're so self centered you think that I owe you the world
Im pretty sure you're just confused on what that entails
on top of me again
we were just friends
two minutes ago
now Im driving you home
you're getting real close
I wish i would say no
but the radio is playing both of our favorite songs
and you're trying to talk to me about the reasons it wont wrong
I dont wanna makeup
I just wanna make-out
two whole weeks i practiced asking you out
Im not better without you and i wish it were a lie but I lost myself trying to find you so think its goodbye
I dont wanna makeup
I just wanna make-out
i spent 6 months on your couch
and its time i got out
cause your better without me and i wish it were a lie
but Ive got a pre conceived idea of what it means to say goodbye
Its fine that you miss me its fine that we're better off this way
too bad I lost a whole grand going back to the city just to say
that Im sorry for that one night
and I don't really know if you want to hold my hand
but i really know that i want to have the chance
so if you wanna break my heart than break it
cause at least it was broken by you
and if you wanna kiss me than kiss me
cause i kissed you too
I dont wanna makeup
I just wanna make-out
two whole weeks i practiced asking you out
Im not better without you and i wish it were a lie but I lost myself trying to find you so think its goodbye
I dont wanna makeup
I just wanna make-out
i spent 6 months on your couch
and its time i got out
cause your better without me and i wish it were a lie
but Ive got a pre conceived idea of what it means to say goodbye
so take your best shot
we spent the summer
getting drunk off each other
I guess Im just another good friend

When You Were Mine

I know that its over
but i still miss the way you smiled when you were in my arms
I know that I should get over you
but thats just something I cant do
Ive got you're number in my phone and Im calling you on the weekends
I got you figured out by now cant you see that we are bound to happen
don't you use me like a cigarette
don't go and change
cause you're better than the rest
give it up for the ones we saved
give it up for the ones we left behind
give it up for the promises
the ones you made when you were mine
give it up for the love I gave
give it up for the love you left behind
give it up . for the memories
the ones we made when you were mine
i know you're going home tonight
'but i really wish you'd stay
and after everything you said
i hope you know ive changed
don't you use me like a cigarette
don't go and change
cause you're better than the rest
Ive got you're number in my phone and Im calling you on the weekends
I got you figured out by now cant you see that we are bound to happen
don't you use me like a cigarette
don't go and change
cause you're better than the rest
give it up for the ones we saved
give it up for the ones we left behind
give it up for the promises
the ones you made when you were mine
give it up for the love I gave
give it up for the love you left behind
give it up . for the memories
the ones we made when you were mine
when you were mine when you were mine
give me one more time
I just need one more time
Im so sick of sleeping alone
seeing your eyes in everyone i know
even when this house is empty
Im mourning the ghosts that still haunt me
give it up for the ones we saved
give it up for the ones we left behind
give it up for the promises
the ones you made when you were mine
give it up for the love I gave
give it up for the love you left behind
give it up . for the memories
the ones we made when you were mine
when you were mine when you were mine
give me one more time
I just need one more time

Would You Mind

the ghost of you still haunts me
I see your spirit in my bedroom
so I pour myself a drink at 3 am
pass out dream of our last years
I still don't have the nerve to
pickup the phone and call you
but god knows how many letters Ive trashed
I must have wrote your name a million times
i still don't know how it makes me feel
we could argue till our throats go numb
but really whats their left to say
and would you say it anyway
would you mind if i took my car and crashed it tonight
Im just another open wound
from the cuts you used to dig in me
waste space engraved in my bones
cant you tell its your handwriting
would you mind if i took my car and crashed it tonight
I swear that i had a dream of
us growing older
I took apart my life and i never found you waiting there (You said you wanted a savior but Im not a savior)
I forget how your face looks the curves and the edges ( No i never was no i never was)
the way that you smiled
hopefully ill never see those teeth again
systematic symptoms of post traumatic stress
from all the times you left me hanging now Im hanging by a thread
from the rafters cue the laughter
you woulda been the first to laugh
in the short amount of time it took for my neck to snap
would you mind if i took my car and crashed it tonight

I want to buy out the highway
shut it down to everyone but me
Ill hit 90
and see where the patch of ice will take me
s i swerve off the road
letters from home
you all said that you love me
and forgive me
for never coming to visit on Christmas eve
I wanna tell brother
that Ive lot faith in all the songs i write
Ive been running in circles for all my life
chasing my tail like a dog in a street fight
all my friends
are following me
into the grave
they think i have the answers but I'm just as afraid
Ive been hopeless and Ive been wrong
I'm trying to get better
as these days go on
I"m starting to learn
what it means to fight
ill ball up my fists
and keep on swinging all night
when a die
I think my kids will pray to god
ask him why their dad is gone
he'll never answer
no he never does
they wont know
about the way i threw away my soul
or how my soul looked
with my blood on the road
maybe Im not good for anyone
Ive lost all faith in a heaven above
so when my friends die
who will bury them
I just need to know that
somebody fucking loved them
Ive been hopeless and Ive been wrong
I'm trying to get better
as these days go on
I"m starting to learn
what it means to fight
ill ball up my fists
and keep on swinging all night
