Never Again 03:46
Never Again, Will I ever see you again You made me show up late, You made me look like shit. Never Again, Will I try this hard to impress your kind and all of your friends… I guess I don’t really care. “I hate you, I’m surely gonna kill you” You thought I’d hear your voice and shiver, But I see colors clearer. “Hate you… And I’m gonna kill you” Is what you said to me that day In front of all your mess, why am I to blame? It's better this way… Can’t pretend to be listening Your thoughts became obsolete Too bad you don't believe me. It's better this way… I’ll smile and walk towards the exit Don’t bother looking at me Better forget everything “I hate you, I’m surely gonna kill you” You thought I’d hear your voice and shiver, But I see colors clearer. “Hate you… And I’m gonna kill you” Is what you said to me that day In front of all your mess, why am I to blame? I know you know I'm better off alone you know I'm better off I know you know I'm better off alone you know I'm better off

Why Can't I 02:56
You said you wanna buy a house In the middle of nowhere… To build a garden in the yard, To be a loner. Am I inside your fantasy, or will you run away from me? The weight is heavy on my back, Because I think that I can’t live a life Where I’m supposed to bend my dreams So I can make you smile… Then why can’t I? I have never lived away From the city… To be alone inside again Would nearly kill me. I’ve never been one to read minds But I doubt that I’m invited… The weight is heavy on my back, Because I think that I can’t live a life Where I’m supposed to bend my dreams So I can make you smile… Then why can’t I?

Quiet Love 03:26
I've been better, How have you been? Can you remember the last two years? Around the same time my mind wasn't here. I looked at the mirror, to see nothing there. In a blink I find myself without a home to call my own In the middle of the night I close my eyes and hope I'm not between our quiet love... Love. Hide my first cry Cause I haven't seen the sun. And I meant to cause no trouble, And I meant to cause no harm. In a blink I find myself without a home to call my own In the middle of the night I close my eyes and hope I'm not between our quiet love... Love. How I miss the times before I was knocked right out the door... How I miss the times before...

No Escape 02:10
You didn’t like it… Hated the melody Didn’t even try my jewelry, You’re better than me. “I am a bad friend”, Made you a birthday cake. I guess it’s cool if you forget, I’m sure you didn’t care. I can’t escape, you’re everywhere It’s like you run in my veins I’m poisoned and I feel drained... I can’t escape, you’re everywhere Incompetent to hearsay, Yeah, you’re stuck in me. You didn’t like them. Always something to say, But why don’t you let them be? It’s in your DNA. I can’t escape, you’re everywhere It’s like you run in my veins I’m poisoned and I feel drained... I can’t escape, you’re everywhere Incompetent to hearsay, Yeah, you’re stuck in me.

Waking up to another phone call, I can’t take your shit. Venomous and I’m losing control, Call my therapist! It’s been a while since I’ve been physically mad, I know I’ve made mistakes But I see in your eyes You think you’re doing fine But baby you’re the worst. And even though I’m guilty Of the raw pleasures in life… At least i’m realistic, And at least I fucking try Now you think I’m a psycho and you Judge me like I’m sick. Sucks that I have to remind you To respect me still Just cause you know me well, You think you break the spell? You’re embarrassing. At least I’m not a child, Who can’t speak out my mind at least I’m complete Even though I’m guilty Of the raw pleasures in life… At least i’m realistic, And at least I fucking try

Here For You 03:37
Still don’t understand the day you asked me why I was in bed when I was on vacation. Don’t know why it made you think that you could talk to me that way, but that’s just my perception You said that I was on the way for you to have a normal day, while I avoided questions… I know how tough you tend to get when you have work-from-home, and I am there, no invitation… It’s such a shame, I’ve been waiting for you To drop this lame Excuse you use… I called at 1am to cry about not getting paid, They fucked me over And you were on the internet pretending you were listening, thinking I wouldn’t notice. It’s such a shame, I’ve been waiting for you To drop this lame Excuse you use… When will I learn to pick and choose? The perfect man’s not here for you…

Deja Vu 03:32
Car rides to Malibu Strawberry ice cream One spoon for two And trading jackets Laughing 'bout how small it looks on you Watching reruns of Glee Being annoying Singing in harmony I bet she's bragging To all her friends, saying you're so unique So when you gonna tell her That we did that, too? She thinks it's special But it's all reused That was our place, I found it first I made the jokes you tell to her when she's with you Do you get déjà vu when she's with you? Do you get déjà vu? (Ah) Do you get déjà vu, huh? Do you call her Almost say my name? 'Cause let's be honest We kinda do sound the same Another actress I hate to think that I was just your type I'll bet that she knows Billy Joel 'Cause you played her "Uptown Girl" You're singing it together Now I bet you even tell her How you love her In between the chorus and the verse So when you gonna tell her That we did that, too? She thinks it's special But it's all reused That was the show we talked about Played you the song she's singing now when she's with you Do you get déjà vu when she's with you? Do you get déjà vu? Oh Do you get déjà vu? Strawberry ice cream in Malibu Don't act like we didn't do that shit, too You're trading jackets like we used to do (Yeah, everything is all reused) Play her piano, but she doesn't know That I was the one who taught you Billy Joel A different girl now, but there's nothing new (I know you get déjà vu)

Three years ago I didn't think I'd be here in this room No one warned me I'd sit with myself for way longer than I wanted to Didn't think that I'd spend senior year without all of the people I love Been at war with my mind through it all cause I don't know what's good anymore Guess I had to learn But I wasn't prepared for the hurt I've been so concerned But I guess you could see through my shirt You looked at my heart... Can't remember the last time that I wasn't insecure about us Almost felt like I'd been there before when I didnt need to think of it all Now I've seen you at your worst and I can't say I'm excited for it But I can't be the judge here Since I'm not doing better myself Guess I had to learn But I wasn't prepared for the hurt Didn't think it'd get worse But I guess we got fucked by the burn You looked at my heart You looked at my heart You looked at my heart And it was dark
9.
You wake me up at 2 o clock and I Didn't know how to handle your voice Yeah your voice... Your voice makes me feel like I'm going home again And I don't even know how to feel like I'm whole anymore, Anymore... Always afraid of falling for you That's cause you broke me first Always afraid of falling for you That's cause you broke me first I gave you my heart and you threw it away You said that you didn't know what all that meant, now I'm gone... Yet you call me at night to make sure I'm not falling apart... But it feels like you're only concerned with protecting your heart Your heart... Always afraid of falling for you That's cause you broke me first Always afraid of falling for you That's cause you broke me first
