Turns Out I'm Fucked
02:55

being lonely and alone are two different things
and it turns out i'm both, so i'm fucked
and i've been fooling myself into thinking i'm happy
and it's obvious i'm anything but
so now i drink to stay warm and fill that space in our bed
where i still see you when i close my eyes
and i know that i told you that i'd love you forever
but you know that'd a goddamn lie
and you could call
but i know you won't
it's all your fault
that i feel this way
and i tried sleeping it off but my head really hurts
and i can't tell if it's the whiskey or her
and my mom thinks it's great that i'm writing again
and i take that for everything that it's worth
but if i could go back, i'd still give it all up
thinking i could spend forever with her
but forever is bullshit it was all just a lie
and love is just a four letter word
and you could call
but i know you won't
it's all your fault
that i feel this way

i threw away the sheets to our bed
towels and t-shirts and books you read
along with the memories i had in my head
and i may be broken still but i, i'm not dead
i never fought, i just fell in line
and me i was miserable most of the time
now it's always so dark in the back of my mind
where i'm still screaming that i'm fine, i'm fine, i'm fine, i'm fine, i
i'm stuck standing still
(don't move the ground won't break your fall)
out here on my own
(don't breathe the are will burn your lungs)
take me under now
(let go your eyelids start to close)
learning how to drown
eloise, yeah our love was untrue
just a few months on and now you're breathing for two
and i hope that you find what it is that you need
'cause now we know that it's not me, oh it's not me, no it's not
i'm stuck standing still
(don't move the ground won't break your fall)
out here on my own
(don't breathe the are will burn your lungs)
take me under now
(let go your eyelids start to close)
learning how to drown
these nights i lie awake
and tally up all of the days
when it didn't hurt to breathe
when suddenly i realize those days are behind me
i'm stuck standing still
(don't move the ground won't break your fall)
out here on my own
(don't breathe the are will burn your lungs)
take me under now
(let go your eyelids start to close)
learning how to drown

i remember a time when i thought i was happy
it was with you by my side
but i hardly left the house
i couldn't bring myself to write
hell, i barely even tried
we got a dog and hid away
insid that big old southern state
i tried to welcome on old age
and those books you read
each one just went right to your head
you drifted further with each page
and it all turns out it was headed south
it was one big fucking lie
and it took too long for me to figure out
that you weren't the love of my life
and i can't hate you, but i'll try
so i ran, that's what you get from a broken man
but state lines don't give a damn
they'll wash you clean
put a little life back in your dreams
but it's still her face that i see
now i talk slow
repeating every trick i know
i wake up empty from routine
and these books i read
well, they can't keep me company
or talk me down when things get bleak
and it all turns out it was headed south
it was one big fucking lie
and it took too long for me to figure out
that you weren't the love of my life
and i can't hate you, but i'll try

Everywhere | Nowhere
04:04

she says, "i have to let you go."
i said, "i know, i know."
she said, "it's not the way that it used to be.
and that's too hard for me."
so i read and i drink and i sing
just like it used to be
but the truth is it got cold
when you walked on out that door
you left it open and i don't have a coat
she is everywhere and nowhere
she is everything and nothing to me
and i guess i'm sleeping now
but it's mostly on the couch
and i'm counting down the days
until i leave this fucking house
i took your pictures down
but you still live in these walls
and in that bedroom down the hall
where i'm breaking down
i'm breaking down
she is everywhere and nowhere
she is everything and nothing to me
peaks and valleys always up and down
and i swear to god the only thing that i want now
is just to level out
find a place where i can lie down
and let time wash over me
wipe away your memory
like i never found out
the truth behind your eyes
that our love was just a lie
you told yourself to sleep at night
and now i'm all out
and i don't know what to do
'cause i hate myself for knowing
that i'm always gonna love you.

Coin-Op TV
02:10
|
|||
one step at a time i remember to breath
my head always works like a coin-op tv
on whiskey and wine till i'm feeling alright
and i get away from that hell of a night
when you kissed me empty and i ran away
suppose i was hoping you would give to the chase
but i was a fool and you where a child
parading through k-town and the miracle mile
but i left the light on just in case
but that doesn't mean i'll be staying up late again
