I know you say you've been hurt real bad before so you dig in your heels if you feel that pull you claim the baggage that you've got is the thing to blame but I can see you're afraid Oooh dont you dont you wanna know that you dont have to be alone oooh when will you see? youre only held down by strings Oooh don't you dont you wanna know that you dont have to be alone Oooh when will you see you're only held down by strings? we're all broken in our own special ways but sometimes all you need is a chance to change I watch you hang by a thread to your heavy heart its dead before it starts (chorus) starting over is a lot like giving up starting over is a lot like its a a lot like giving up

its kinda sick that you feel so good as long as i'm the one who hurts gotta tear down all your friends because you're so insecure but you're no good without a back to stand on sooner or later they're all gonna catch on i dont know how you sleep my enemy pretending to be a friend to me how can you live with what you did to me once all your bridges burn i know you're gonna end up alone someone show me the law that says you gotta be a bitch to get ahead racking up the casualties all in the name of success but you're no good without a back to stand on sooner or later everyone will be gone i forgive myself for giving you the benefit of the doubt when you deserved much less in time i will forget all of the painful things you did you'll only have yourself to blame and the lonely bed you made with your regrets

Hold Me 02:44
if tomorrow never comes that would be fine with me in this dark room with you i've got all i need i fell so hard gave you my heart we're better together than we are apart and i can't let you go dont wanna let you go so hold me now its getting late im not ready to call it a day i need you close to remind me i've got the world when you're holding me i wanna make some plans that we dont have to change i wanna do this right if you feel the same cuz you're the only one for me i'll wait for you through everything i cant let this go dont wanna let you go i know we'll have our doubts when we're lonely nobody said that this would be easy but my heart wont change its mind i need you all the time

i should've known better than to pick up my phone should've known your calling to relive what went wrong but its not my fault you fucked it up its not my fault you wont let go i am so sick of sugar coating this so you can swallow it down you say its not fair how we just didnt work out but no one forced you to call me you ought to hang up before this gets mean you drive me crazy i hear you steer clear of places we've been you bear these crosses since we've called it quits and our friends think i'm the bad guy they think that i'm so mean but they forget that it was you who hurt me and now i just dont care how it just didn't work out i guess i broke you in for the next girl to have she'll take all the good since you gave me the bad and that might hurt to hear but if you dont wanna know you shouldn't ask cuz no one forced you to lie no one forced you to forget to try no one but you no one but you
5.
i watch you wear your smile like a loaded gun whatcha tryin to prove to everyone im tired of searchin on the internet for the best ways to handle my regrets just wanna wake up in the morning and not feel alone i wanna really quit smoking not pretend that i dont cuz i think all id ever need is someone a little more like me it might be the hardest thing to find a heart thats hurting like mine but i'll keep looking i'll keep looking dont need a new tattoo for every fear i face i think i'll quietly conquer and modestly celebrate wanna cut the ties and strings that keep me hanging on to souvenirs from a life that has long since gone trade these memories i got for a room with a view but i'll always paint these new walls that old shade of blue i've got machines that keep me lonely like i ever needed any help i've got an open vein for that social drip but i'm still the odd man out

15-17 Months 02:34
it must be love cuz i miss you more than myself on days when i can't get up its clear that i have nothing figured out but theres a spark still in my mind and i knew that it was you this whole time it must be love because its killing me and still keeping me alive i heard it takes 15-17 months to get over and forget the pain or it takes twice the time it took to live through in the first place and so i grit my teeth and bear it i know theres no better way its a fact and its been proven time is the only escape it must be love because its teaching me to hate what was i thinkin what was i thinkin what was i think when i gave you i gave you my heart what were you thinkin what were you thinkin what were you thinkin when you tore it apart i heard you got a new girl but i'm not too worried in fact i'm confident that history will always repeat and all your nervous ticks and quirkiness will surface sometime soon and over coffee we'll agree the problem was with you it must be love because we couldnt see the truth your hopeless light is still haunting me like there was good hiding somewhere underneath i know better than to let time get the best of me the best of me

Rugburns 03:52
i'll trade the skin on my knees for some memories and we can call it a day scars are just proof you survived anyway we used to make love on the floor pretending we loved just who we were even if it hurt we dove in headfirst to try and find good in all the bad pretending we loved just what we had to try and find good reckless from the start a recipe for broken hearts so it goes oh so it goes you were careless from the start a recipe for broken hearts so it goes oh so it goes how do i compare to those before cuz it seems to me you could do much worse but it wont feel right to settle for one night i am not lonely i just lie i humor my vices that wont subside and if i hold you close its so you can't shoot first i am not in love i am indifferent i could not care less about the state you find me in and i'll repeat myself till i believe nothing else i am not in love i am indifferent i am indifferent i am so
8.
if i could i'd wake up early just to hold you while you sleep i'd lay right by your side and i would smile as you breathe and i'd feel whole something id never felt before and when you're beaten down on days that make you wanna die i'll heal everything and make you glad that you're alive ill be the answer that you've been searching after and i know that i should give back the love that i got but i'll confess that its only the thought only the thought of you thats got me all worked up this isnt real its not the truth its the thought of you i couldnt fall in love but i wanted to and i was with just the thought of you you deserve someone who knows the little things you hate and more importantly the things to do to make you day and thats not me but i wanted it to be
9.
i moved to the city to die must've felt too free in the country life live below strangers, call them my neighbors hear footsteps on the ceiling at night i left to try and forget you wanna fill your space with something new but i just found regrets mixed with smoke and cement birds at my feet and bricks to the moon id run further away but the day ends to soon oh oh no what am i gonna do it looks like im just not me without you what am i gonna do this useless me cant be what am i gonna do? cant say i didnt try with every kiss came compromise felt like a change but still wrong all the same just remember to breathe and close your eyes i wish i was dreaming but it feels like real life oh oh no
10.
last night i had a dream i forgot the color of your eyes but the fear came when i woke up and thought maybe it was you who forgot mine we've been staring at the ground taking every step for granted as we go its like we fell in love and then forgot and now we're stuck in this alone but its a small twist of the mind that turns falling to thinking you'll fly oh oh i know i'll never get this right i know i'll never get this been waiting my whole life for the love that i deserve so i tell myself next year might be better cuz i know it cant get worse i'll never stop trying cuz somethings gotta work but with every ounce of faith i have theres a promise i'll get hurt i dont listen to my head these days i just do whatever my heart says im not looking for the answers just a reason to tell myself i'm gonna be ok im gonna be ok im gonna be ok im gonna be ok
