She finds, comfort in hiding places Comfort in their faces In her eyes, nothing there is hidden Everything is mine She lies, and everyone believes her She is just a friend And her mind, is such an open vessel You won't find me there Darling if you should ever go I'll wait, I'll wait here all alone Darling can't you see that this good? Darling can't you see that this is? She cries when everyone is with her So she belongs to them If she died it would all be over No one would pretend

I don't need a hero And if I did then it wouldn't be you Said how do I know, well I've been here before And I won't do it again for you And if you fall Don't fall at my feet I hope you fall But don't fall at my feet You asked me if I needed a hand You got involved in everything I do It's obvious to me that that's to Fill a need in you I can't stand the way you're looking at me Don't try to tell me that you're only trying to be friendly I can't stand the way you're looking at me Don't try to tell me, don't try to tell me Tell yourself a story You can sell it to half the world But good fucking luck selling it to me With all the lessons that I have learned

My Mistake 03:09
If it's a mistake Then it's mine to make Like the others Did I tell you there were other ones? If this thing could be stopped Before it gets too late Don't you think that I would do that, Save us both the heartbreak? Should I say? I know I can't feel like I do Should I say? Can you think about it 'Cos you knock me out And I think about you every day now I think about you only every day

I couldn't see the moon That night I left from Oslo Now I'm floating and I'm feeling more adrift They say crazy bathed in moonlight was a gift though And now the stars are mocking me for losing it You gave me something solid that I could hold onto And every day I know I'm losing my grip Get a grip you said, I wish that I knew how to But every time I think I've got something, I slip You're mad at me, oh you're Mad at me again You're mad at me, oh you're Always mad at me The sea is making it harder to take Being away from you I break every time I say goodbye I break anew So I am drunk and I don't know how I'm feeling I gave up on being sober tonight There was too much in my head, I couldn't stand it I don't feel good, I don't feel safe, I don't feel right And my breakfast is an existential crisis My lunch is pretty much a full meltdown But by dinnertime I'm begging for an exit Wish you would take me home with you where I'd be calm

Played you that love song Don't take it personally I'm like yeah, So you think I'm falling for you You got me wrong I know you'd rather have me crawling You think that your charms are unforgettable But I think meeting you was most regrettable Don't tell me that it's alright 'Cos I'm not going anywhere And you can go to hell You'll never see me crawling Don't tell me who I am, try to take my credibility 'Cos I know who you are, and I'm not buying
6.
You build me and then smash me into little pieces You tried to rip me up and start again Will I ever know if I was right or wrong? I feel my heart is good although it's not that strong I never liked you anyway I'll make my own family And you'll never get to hurt me I remember you kicked me out that Christmas Eve You slapped me so hard that it made my nose bleed And I still came home I needed care but all I felt was really scared and I'd be hiding in my room Growing up is never easy I know But it's hard for queers Sad and lonely if you're hiding Or worse if you dared to share But you shouldn't have to live that way And lie about yourself in every word you say It's ok 'cos one day you will go And those fuckers will be people that are fuckers that you used to know

C.W.N. 02:05
Sometimes it's hard to know What other people have to go through What's the point when you know best? Everyone's hysterical and over-emotional Everyone is always such a mess Cis white noise Please not again Cis white boys Everywhere I go People never realise It's hard for men's activists Exposing misandry all the time Being overprivileged and always being right What's the use in trying when you never have to fight? Everywhere I go Please not again

Shoes 03:01
Sometimes I wish we'd never met So I could go to bed not wondering if you're home yet 'Cos I'm tired, so tired from filling up my time So I have to don't have to face the emptiness that's my insides You say I've got it all I don't need you, well here's the truth Yeah there's girls but baby none of them are quite like you As far as I'm concerned the rest of them can join the queue 'Cos it's you, all I've ever really wanted is you Never thought it'd end this way with you Why can't it be forever me and you I never thought it'd end this way with you Now it's time to go I close my eyes and count to ten Takes all I've got not to beg you not to leave me again Don't wanna act the fool, be desperately uncool And cause a scene declaring my undying love for you You never thought it'd end this way I never thought it'd end this way With you Sometimes I wish we'd never met

Five in your hand two up your sleeve Why's what you're missing always just so far out of reach? Wise in your head dumb in your speech Safety in silence, wishing sleep would come more easily You wrote some rules you thought would stick I tried to follow but I'm never very good at it Theirs is a way you can't connect Flirting with expectations only worsens with regret You can't feel low When you're so numb If I fall apart right here will you forgive me? All I ever wanted was some room to breathe Fall down on my knees and make a final plea Things should never be so easy, oh so easy I found a pet the other day A hate, a habit, a way to dull the pain Irate's a game you like to play I play along, a game for fools I never could escape
