(no subject)
the morning light
With your head held high,
Pretend that you're alright without me.
And I'm better now that I'm without your fears.
And I'll write this down, sound it out.
And pretend there's something more left in your town.
I'll sit through months away from home without you.
And 4,000 miles away is all I need,
For you to realize what you need.
But you're clean cut and exposed,
And I've never felt more at home.
But I'll pretend there's something more left in your town.
I'm falling in and out of love,
Finally stopping what we were made of.
"Oh, you're done."
By summer I'll have you on your knees,
Come August and you'll lie right through your teeth.
And it's oh so typical but what I need.
I'm writing books through letters,
That I'm sure you'll never read.
I'm searching through a postcard,
To find any trace of me.
But you've traded thoughts of me,
For this new life that comes cheap.
And I can only pray it falls beneath your feet.
You're done it's just what I need,
(I'm falling in and out of love.)
(You and...)Your violent attempts to come clean.
"You're done."
It's just what I need.

It was the look on your face it gave you away.
It was the way that you said my name,
It gave you away to the time that it takes.
I read you all wrong,
I thought you were a safe bet.
Forced laughs, fake smiles,
Just force it out cause it's all the same to them.
One time too many,
I watch you fade away to the time it takes and the things you say.
I know better now.
So turn this up and listen well,
I just needed you to know that...
I read you all wrong,
I thought you were a safe bet.
She tries too much she doesn't smile enough,
She's got these great ideas and no one to hear them.
I waited for you,
Why won't you just tell me?
"Why won't you just tell me?"
Because you'll fall in love,
And then you'll mess it up,
But then you'll try again.
"You know, it's not worth it."
Scream your lungs it's never quite enough,
To get the sounds across.
You know it's not worth it.
"Why won't you just tell me?"

Oh my god, this town it feels like a headache,
And all the words inside my mouth won't come through.
I've got this pain in my head that I can't shake,
When I remind myself I can't get to you.
It rained all day,
And I figured it out I'm not the person that I used to be (washed away).
Please someone make me okay,
Because I'm feeling like I might...
Take today and make my way,
Through the town, the streets, the pouring rain.
Cause somedays it seems like the clouds won't stay away.
I watched you change with the seasons,
I wrote you letters but I forgot to mention that...
I'm a wreck, I'm a mess, you're a stranger.
Watch your face fade away now I'm stuck here.
Take today and make my way,
Through the town, the streets, the pouring rain.
Cause somedays it seems like the clouds won't stay away.
She said, "Turn your back cause you'll never understand."
I can't get through to you.
But the silence and the shaking of your hands,
Says differently to me.
You watched me wait on the steps of your house,
I stood outside, you refused to come out.
And honestly this is making me sick.
All this time I tried to hide the truth inside,
But this is making me sick.
This is making me sick.
