Coffee & Tears

Started off with coffee
And ended up in tears
A single thoughtless moment
That fucked up two whole years
I’ve never said the right thing
But this one tipped the scales
Clearly I was blind to it
Too wrapped up in myself
There’s reason why I’ll never get my fortune told
‘Cos we all know that we’re getting old
It’s just a case of where, and with who
But mine’s not with you
Started off with coffee
And ended up in tears
A single thoughtless moment
That fucked up two whole years
I’ve never said the right thing
But this one tipped the scales
But worry always lets me down
You took the trust we built up
And dishonesty soon surpassed
Throwing blame and tempting fate
I always knew this would never last

Spent

Too busy trying to help everybody else
When I couldn’t help myself
The winter came in and it hit me like a fucking brick
Forever running out of things to do that make me tick
And this lack of routine makes me sick I ever felt like I should quit
It feels like I’ve been burning from both ends for too long
But I can’t stop to spend time alone
And though it seems like I’ve been rotting in my room you’re so wrong
Cos I can’t stand to spend time at home
Toss this year aside and start again
Because it’s no use to compare the past and the way that things were then
Wasting days at embassy
I wonder if Bud remembers me?
It feels like I’ve been burning from both ends for too long
But I can’t stop to spend time alone
It feels like I’ve been burning from both ends for too long
But I can’t stop to spend time alone
And though it seems like I’ve been rotting in my room you’re so wrong
Cos I can’t stand to spend time at home
Burn the wick
Melt me down into a puddle on the surface
‘Cos I’m burnt out
And I’m running dry of purpose

Habit
03:35
|
|||
|
Took some time to be alone
To make myself feel whole again
But I slipped into old ways and never left
Finding it hard to talk to you
And when I do you just look right through
These empty words are breaths I should have kept
Never wanted therapy
Only asked for help from me
And I wish I knew what I was doing
The circle starts with a line
And I know that it takes some time
But it’s weighing on your back for all to see
Gave all my effort when you don’t know
Every sacrifice I make when you refuse to grow
Losing all my patience as I try to turn new pages
Habit takes the blame
So I take my head to better places
I can’t leave you alone
I’m scared for what the future holds
Too weak to do this on my own
Gave all my effort when you don’t know
Every sacrifice I make when you refuse to grow
Losing all my patience as I try to turn new pages
Habit takes the blame
So I take my head to a better place and
Give it all my effort when you don’t know
Every sacrifice I make when you refused to grow
Lost all my fucking patience
It's time for us to face this
Habit that we blame
So I’ll take my head to better places

Skeleton

Peeling the plaster off slow
Let me know if I should stay or just go
Because all your friends are high again
And I’m the odd one out again
You swore that you’d change
But I can’t pretend it's okay
Dressed like a fool
But you’re the only clown in this room
Did you mean it?
When you told me you were over this?
Feeling like a skeleton in my skin
Propped up for show
‘Cos I hate this and I’m feeling overwhelmed
A sigh of relief
Seems so far away for me
‘Cos I hate this and I’m feeling overwhelmed
I know it’s easier said than done
If I can’t relate, maybe I’m not the one you should run to
When all this becomes far too much
You swore that you’d change
But I can’t pretend that it’s okay
Dressed like a fool
But you’re the only clown in the room
Feeling like a skeleton in my skin
Propped up for show
Cos I hate this and I’m feeling overwhelmed
A sigh of relief
Seems so far away for me
Cos I hate this and I’m feeling overwhelmed
Pick your pill and swallow it

Grow Up

Sick of writing songs in weird times
With parts that don’t make sense and words that don’t rhyme
Something got confused along the way
Between late night drives and missing big dates
I hate to tell you that this won’t ever change
But all the times I lost my head
You never helped me find where I left it
Only asked me to change
Only asked me to stay at home
Maybe this is all I’ll ever be
A kid with no common sense, struggling to breathe
But all the times I lost my head
You never helped me find where I left it
Only asked me to change
Only asked me to stay at home
You told me to grow up
But it wasn’t enough when I showed up
Maybe all the flaws you saw in my pastime
Were a reflection of yours and not mine
