I I love you But I cannot Continue To be ignored and be your friend I think we've simply reached our end and I've discovered a brand new you Who I don't understand You You loved me But you do not Treat me the same that you used to And all I know is that I miss Everything we used to do We We are still friends But we will not Revert back to our old ways Where one of us would always finish the other one's Phrase This This is brand new But in a word I've flown askew From all of the events I've been tryin' so hard To undo

Please do not abandon me Once was blind but now I see I will take her anywhere Raise her up, wind in her hair If she were to leave right now I have no idea how I would get back on my feet Never sleep and never eat I've been Bleedin' on the floor I've been Messin' at your door Please do not abandon me Once was blind but now I see I will take her anywhere Raise her up, wind in her hair See her image on my wall Wait around for her to call Seek her help but always know I've come from high down to low I've been Bleedin' on the floor I've been Messin' at your door Please do not abandon me Once was blind but now I see I will take her anywhere Raise her up, wind in her hair No one but you Could do that to me No one but you Could do that to me Please do not abandon me Please do not abandon me Please do not abandon me Once was blind but now I see I will take her anywhere Raise her up, wind in her hair

Never Thought 04:22

Walkin' through the snow Where we used to go Goin' through our long talks Counting up the blocks Staring out my window Noticing the thin glow Where you used to greet me I forfeit, won't you just come see me? Never thought that I'd be missin' you But you never know What's kept in store For the brokenhearted whore Never thought that I'd be cravin' you But you cut me off Turned your head and scoffed And left I remember weekends So much time together we spent Kissin' on the floor Oh no, your mom is at the door Button up your red coat Write me all your little notes Talk until you're blue Just can't stop me from still feelin' you Never thought that I'd be missin' you But you never know What's kept in store For the brokenhearted whore Never thought that I'd be cravin' you But you cut me off Turned your head and scoffed And left Never thought that I'd be missin' you But you never know What's kept in store For the brokenhearted whore Never thought that I'd be cravin' you But you cut me off Turned your head and scoffed And left Never thought that I'd be missin' you But you never know What's kept in store For the brokenhearted whore Never thought that I'd be cravin' you But you cut me off Turned your head and scoffed And left

You Don't Understand 03:57

Hidin' my objection on this cliché fuckin' list Pushin through my frustration, do you get the gist? Fightin' my oppression on my claustrophobic mind Talkin' to you and you can't read between the lines You don't understand What it is to take my hand You don't let me feel What's left in love and makes it real Dreamin' up confessions and thinkin' 'bout your lies Breakin' up emotion at every fuckin' sight Drowinin' in a pool of my pessimistic thoughts Runnin' through those hurt heart thousand twisting knots You don't understand What it is to take my hand You don't let me feel What's left in love and makes it real You don't understand What it is to take my hand You don't let me feel What's left in love and makes it real You don't understand You don't unerstand, no, no You don't understand You don't understand, no, no

Without You 04:12
lyrics
buy track
It's tough to stay awake When someone's on your mind at least 24 hours a day Is all it takes to fall in love with somebody New and wrong Or right until you realize that you were never Really that strong Enough to face your fear that they were really gone I'm moving on Why does that feel wrong? I'm Without you If time and love won't abide The heartbreak won't subside I'm Without you If time and love won't abide The heartbreak won't subside I'm moving way too slow But quick enough to figure out That I was never really in the know A stupid boy will over-think the ending Again and again Obsessing over details and all the time we spent Together or apart, I guess you made up your mind I'm moving on Why does that feel wrong? I'm Without you If time and love won't abide The heartbreak won't subside I'm Without you If time and love won't abide The heartbreak won't subside Personality reset Point to all of the regret It's not fair to her or me Why can't I get her to see? I'm Without you If time and love won't abide The heartbreak won't subside I'm Without you If time and love won't abide The heartbreak won't subside I'm Without you If time and love won't abide The heartbreak won't subside I'm Without you If time and love won't abide The heartbreak won't subside

Not the Only One 03:21

When your bones are in a tizzy and you're bumpin' wall to wall 'Cause you're always fuckin' dizzy and you're never gonna find her Sleepin' on the floor and laying in the dark And trying to find the door but no one's even here yet Never gonna find her Never gonna need her Never gonna see her Ever again Never gonna find her Never gonna need her Never gonna see her Ever again Why'd you have to go and tear me apart? You're not the only one who has a fucking heart Living on the side with all my shame But I'm not the only one who should take the blame, no Whoa Whoa Whoa Losing track of time and writing things down But you hate your fucking rhymes And they never even liked you Steppin' on the cracks when you're walking down the street And you can't even relax 'cause you're never home anyway Never gonna find her Never gonna need her Never gonna see her Ever again Never gonna find her Never gonna need her Whoa Why'd you have to go and tear me apart? You're not the only one who has a fucking heart Living on the side with all my shame But I'm not the only one who should take the blame Why'd you have to go and tear me apart? You're not the only one who has a fucking heart Living on the side with all my shame But I'm not the only one who should take the blame, no Why'd you have to go and tear me apart? You're not the only one who has a fucking heart Living on the side with all my shame But I'm not the only one who should take the blame Why'd you have to go and tear me apart? You're not the only one who has a fucking heart Living on the side with all my shame But I'm not the only one who should take the blame, no Whoa Whoa

Open Heart Surgery 04:24
lyrics

You look so tired and you look so weak Forced to under those hospital sheets I reach the door that says 309 I walk in, you tell me you're fine You are so brave and you are so strong You've been goin' through so much for so long I start to cry and you start to hug You give me a bit of a tug and you say Open heart surgery Open heart surgery Open heart surgery Open heart surgery I am so scared and you are so calm You reach your hand out to grab my palm You look at me and I look away You tell me that everything'll be okay You broke my heart and you broke your heart Now you've got a chance at a brand new start I start to leave as the nurse walks in I hear her say that your chances are thin Open heart surgery Open heart surgery Open heart surgery Open heart surgery Today's the big day and I pace the floor Glance at the clock, a quarter past 4 I fall asleep in the waiting room chair I wake up to find the doctor there "I'm sorry son but he didn't make it, I'll let that sink in for just a minute." "I'll be okay, please leave me alone." I sat there for hours trapped in a zone Open heart surgery Open heart surgery Open heart surgery Open heart surgery 6 months from then and here we are now I made a promise and I made a vow I'll never lose someone ever again Without them knowing that I love them From time to time I think about you How you would breathe and how you would move What would say if you were still here? Probably that you'll stay for a year Open heart surgery Open heart surgery Open heart surgery Open heart surgery

Half 03:32

I am too far gone too tell you What I think about you and I am moving on from this as far as I can tell and you are shifting out of mind and Fading into memories from the past 2 years That clearly meant nothing to you at all This is not What I would call An open call for you to push me down Until I fall apart My broken heart Will learn to mend itself and I Won't allow you To put me through The same shit that I Knew was wrong 'Cause all along You had me think that I was Half Staring into nothing for Extended periods of time is Wasted on you and the thoughts thereafter are a Product of the love we shared and the good times That I once had an affection for but I Resent them because I This is not What I would call An open call for you to push me down Until I fall apart My broken heart Will learn to mend itself and I Won't allow you To put me through The same shit that I Knew was wrong 'Cause all along You had me think that I was Half

Staying Home 02:44

I've been saving this song for a rainy day About the place where I'm never afraid Walking around night on those familiar streets Head up to the door and turn the key I'm staying home I'm staying home Walk past hanging pictures stuck to all the walls A million and one memories, I can name them all Turn the corner into Mum & Dad's room If I'm lucky maybe I'll see them soon Wonder if you ever knew What's left between me and you I'm staying home I'm staying home I'm staying home I'm staying home

You and I Were fireflies In paradise But all your lies Made me feel Like you could steal All my love (All my love) Friends like you Don't pay their dues You always lose My point of view You act so well Can't read your tell Not at all (Not at all) Right in the thick of this You're making brand new lists I've been stood up And I wanna go home I've been stood up And I wanna go home I've been stood up And I wanna go home I've been stood up And I wanna go home Why'd you say You wanna stay We'll be okay You'll never stray Only to Get me through All this time (All this time) What's in sight? The traffic light Use all my might Just to fight The thought of you With someone new Please don't go (Please don't go) Right in the thick of this You're making brand new lists I've been stood up And I wanna go home I've been stood up And I wanna go home I've been stood up And I wanna go home I've been stood up And I wanna go home Where are you now? Where are you now? Where are you now? Where are you now? I've been stood up And I wanna go home I've been stood up And I wanna go home I've been stood up And I wanna go home I've been stood up And I wanna go home I've been stood up And I wanna go home I've been stood up And I wanna go home I've been stood up And I wanna go home I've been stood up And I wanna go home

Leave You Alone 03:40

Feelin' mad and I don't why Maybe 'cause you're gone If that's true then it makes sense but Not for long My brain is a puzzle that I cut up just to fit My mind is imploding bit by bit by bit The only reason why We said goodbye Is because I Need to let you go And leave you alone Down the stairs and out the door Take a walk around The neighborhood is filled with such Familiar sound Time & space were a miracle to share with you All along you had me ranked at number 2 The only reason why We said goodbye Is because I Need to let you go And leave you alone Turned out the lights Had the last fight I've fallen down Gagged, tied and bound The only reason why We said goodbye Is because I Need to let you go The only reason why We said goodbye Is because I Need to let you go And leave you alone

My escape from this world is to Lie down on my bed Slippin' into a coma but a Little more dead No need for painkillers in this silent world None of the drama from the Boy meets girl I can't take it anymore I can't take it anymore I can't take it anymore I can't take it anymore Step away from heartache and my Wandering mind Get away from her and I draw My own lines Fears and doubts can't harm me in my Vivid dreams Back in reality Nothing's as it seems I can't take it anymore I can't take it anymore I can't take it anymore I can't take it anymore I can't take it anymore I can't take it anymore I can't take it anymore I can't take it anymore I can't take it anymore I can't take it anymore I can't take it anymore I can't take it anymore
