you don't have to love me
you don't have to care as much as i care for you
just know that i will be right here
if and when you need me
you know you amaze me
with how strong you've grown
you've managed to pick yourself up
even after it all
courage where are you
'cause cupid fucked me up
courage where are you
'cause i can't
i don't know how to tell you
underneath words
but i always have
and i always will
i don't know how to tell you
even in song
but i always have
and i always will
courage where are you
'cause cupid fucked me up
courage where are you
'cause i can't
i don't know how to tell you
you've been up in my mind
from the moment i wake 'til i sleep
every second, all the time
i don't know how to tell you
it's been you all this time
but i know i'll just mess this up
'cause i'm way out of line
i don't know how to tell you
even in song
but i always have
and i always will
i don't know how to tell you
it's been you all this time
but i won't 'cause i can't, i'll just wait
i'll be fine

there's no need to look for words
to fabricate this feeling inside
i just want to learn
how to forget
'cause you hurt me
more than you know
'cause you hurt me
more than before
there's no need to look for answers
what's done is done
so please turn around before i
invert this smile
'cause you hurt me
more than you know
'cause you hurt me
but i can't let go so
i'll wake you up
i'll make your coffee
i'll fix the sheets
just please don't forget me

The Greatest Enemy
04:42

here i am
questions running inside my mind again
you walk towards me
and i turn away
impassive serves me well
by hiding these restless thoughts
always supposing, never certain
of what you want
every night i think of you
hoping i could say to you
everything, every word, every feeling
i have for you tonight
i keep waiting for a sign
a line between caution and fear
i am drowning in my bed
thinking of what to do next
anyone, get me some help
'cause the greatest enemy is within me
every night i think of you
hoping i could say to you
everything, every word, every feeling
i have for you tonight
believe in me, believe in me
i know i've done so many stupid things before
but i'm willing to risk everything
just for you to believe
everything
every night i think of you
hoping i could say to you
everything, every word, every feeling
i have for you tonight

Breathe

would be alright if i
bring you home today
'cause i don't want you standing in line all day
you can take the back seat
i won't mind
you can stretch your tired legs
i'll keep you safe
close your eyes
and feel the air
close your eyes
and feel the air
was it another busy day
'cause your hair's a mess
just pull all the windows down and don't give a care
let's go to your favorite spot
just tell me where
'cause my father filled the tank and he won't mind
close your eyes
and feel the air
close your eyes
and feel the air
let's not talk about us
let's not talk
just breathe it in

Before You
02:55
|

i'm setting my own table to
undergo removing you
clear out the air from my lungs
to breathe in a life that i once knew
take me back
before you
take me back
before you
i walk on stilts finding my way
as i go on without holding to you
if this would be regret then let it be known
i was always true to you but you never really cared
take me back
before you
take me back
before you
take me back
before you
take me back
before i
fall for you
all over again

Game of Questions
05:31

taking a bus ride to your place
looking at people outside
staring at their lives
now, did they ever love
did they ever ache
all of my friends
they love and care for me
but i'm still not me
i still feel incomplete 'cause we can't be
why do we have to fall in love with a person
who doesn't feel the same way as we do
why do we have to cry at night, thinking
'bout the sense of love in letting go
you pulled me close and hugged me tight
then you whispered to me
i'm sorry and goodbye
now, did you ever love
did you ever ache
all of my friends
they love and care for me
but i'm still not me
i still feel incomplete 'cause we can't be
why do we have to fall in love with a person
who doesn't feel the same way as we do
why do we have to cry at night, thinking
'bout the sense of love in letting go
you, you, you, you
you didn't do anything, you didn't say a word
but here i am in love with you
i love you, i love you
yes i, i love you
why do we have to fall in love with a person
who doesn't feel the same way as we do
why do we have to cry at night, thinking
'bout the sense of love in letting go
all of my friends
they love and care for me
but i'm still not me
i still feel incomplete 'cause we can't be

Never Me
03:46

if i told you not to go
would you trust me and never leave
if i told you to stay with me
would that be something that would ruin your dream
sometimes i wish i was as selfish as everyone else
so i can keep you here all for myself
but we both know
that's not what you need
and we both know
i'm not who you need
if i asked you to come back to me
would that be too much coming from me
if i told you i'll wait for you
will you be burdened by the image of me
sometimes i wish i was as selfish as everyone else
so i can keep you here all for myself
but we both know
that's what you need
and we both know
i'm not who you need
'cause by the time you start to head home
and gather your things
i already know the name that you will instantly heed
and we both know
i'm not who you need
and we both know
that it's never me
sometimes i wish i was as selfish as everyone else
so i can lie to you and tell you one last thing
i am the one you need
i am the one you need

the cracks on the wall
never get noticed
until just before the fall
just like you and me
just like how we let it go to ruin
to ruin this so called perfect dream
this so called perfect dream
the cracks on the wall
revealing the hazards of the
meadows we love running on
just like unstable grounds
we hold on but still it goes to ruin
to ruin this so called perfect dream
this so called perfect dream

oh love
halfway through the mark
before i realized that you love me
you love me no more
oh love
was it not enough
that i almost broke my back
fighting for you
was it not enough
was it not enough
to fight for me too
oh love
the pictures we pinned
on the board
they're all gone now
oh love
don't try to kiss me now
'cause his scent is still
all over your back
was it not enough
was it not enough
to fight for me too
oh love
why'd you have to bring me down
why'd you have to make me feel
like there was no right in everything i've done
oh love
why'd you have to bring me down
why'd you have to make me feel
like there was no right in everything i've done

Finally
03:11

your eyes turn as conversations go by
like a new pair of Nikes that i can't afford
you ask me why i'm a magnet for misery
i'm just getting ready for when i'm left alone
i'm left alone
i'm left alone
i'm left alone
you turned and said you see the best in everything
well if that's true please lend me your eyes
where were you when i was lost years ago
'cause if i knew you then, i'd never let you go
never let you go
nerve let you go
never let you go
call the papers 'cause i think i just
figured out how to be finally happy
call the papers 'cause i think i just
figured out how to be finally happy
a big plate of bacon
and a lifetime with you
