Get It

I don't really get it
all the pictures say
you were there for me
but I don't remember you
all of it's pathetic
unconditionally
but I'm wise enough to understand
what just may never be
I'm not scared to be without you
to be honest it gets easier the further away you get from me
and I want less and less to do with you

Nothing to Do
04:10

I want noting to do with you
I keep the pictures 'round for proof
that there's a little bit of substance to my past I guess
but if you want the truth
I didn't need an excuse
the situation was already complex
Well there's a little more to the story than just being left out
Your generous contribution to my several moments of doubt
see I was young enough to think that there was just no other way
I was worried about my lungs
but what's a voice with nothing to say
This has nothing to do with truth
more with the way you broke the news
that there was nothing left to make you stay
I am fine but I refuse to pretend to be amused by
all of the bullshit commitments that you're trying to make
you're just chasing clichés
Well the funny thing about history is the way it's written out
there's evidence that contradicts what you're talking about
see now I'm old enough to know that there are infinite ways
now I'm looking at my legs wondering how they got me to this place
I was worried about my lungs but what's a voice with nothing to
say that you love me
say that you don't really know me
say that there's no need for sorry
you can say what you want but
I want nothing to do with you
even the pictures can compute
there is something lacking in your face
I've got nothing left to lose
and it's my turn to choose
i want absolutely nothing
nothing to do with you
I was worried about my lungs
and I want nothing to do with you
Now I'm looking at my legs
and I want nothing to do with you
I want absolutely nothing
Nothing to do with you

Plan B
03:56

I wore your hat without permission
I wore your shirt because you kissed me in it
I keep on feeding my demons
just enough to keep them alive
I don't know why
Have the hat back that's fine
I'm keeping the shirt though, that's mine
If you're not keeping me warm tonight
Tell me why would I fight
when what doesn't kill me will keep on trying
You cut me back into submission
My songs inside your head the first incision
You keep on feeding me reasons
you can't ever give me the time
Now I know why
What was plan A for you?
I wanted some company too
all that I gave to you
and you don't want me
Have the hat back that's fine
I'm keeping the shirt though that's mine

Sit Still
02:23

I can't shake the feeling that you're leading me on
took a train to nowhere but you never got off
Text me for a weekend 'cause you think it's fun
Try to give me reasons not t up and run
but that's not fair you know that i just can't sit still
can't sit still
I can't help the feeling that she's turning me on
should have quit her sooner but the damage is done
she's fighting the feeling she's getting with me
holds me in place and i think you'll agree that that's not fair
you know that i just can't sit still
can't sit still
and I don't think that this is so healthy
and I can't want somebody that just doesn't want me
you know that I've had love and its a sight to see
I'm putting one foot out the door and you know she's got me
staring at her lipstick as she's putting it on
probably half the reason I'm not up and gone

Dearly beloved have we gathered here today
if I've learned anything its mean what you say
I know that you don't understand
I paid four dollars for a coffee that I didn't even drink
you drove four hours just to prove to your own mother you weren't weak
I paid respects to all the promises I knew I couldn't keep
Let's ditch this town
and make a run for it now
Is it a problem that we've gone our separate ways?
Don't say you're sorry 'cause its just something to say
it's time for you to understand
you gave up everything for someone on a ship about to sink
How is it my fault if I am not the person that you think
I never blamed you for the problems I encounter in my sleep
Just let me drown
and make a run for it now
I broke your spell
is that when I lost myself?
I've been praying for common sense
I never blamed you for lack of it
As for wasted time yours is spent
I guess that's why I find myself back here again
it's like no one understands
I should know better than to think that I can make a clean escape
it's not that often that I'm honest about things when they're not great
if there's a time for explanations then it's gonna have to wait
don't make a sound
'cause I'm making a run for it now
if i stuck around
I don't think I'd be found

Chaos

I could write songs about you
but I don't think I should
I could get lost within you
But I don't think that's good
There's a timeline written in fate
it starts with my dilemma
and the look on your face
and it begins
Got some explaining to do
but I don't know what's truth
He's got his eyes set on you
but I don't know what you expect me to do
if there's a timeline in his head
it starts with shots of whiskey
and ends with you in bed
but there's a slight chance you don't mind this
I am loving you by my side tonight
is it fate
is it fake
is this my fault
my mistake
give it time
peace of mind
I don't love you
You're not mine

Sober Up
02:07

I'm gonna quit while I'm ahead
'cause you said
you knew what I would look like when I got old
I was sold
Would have spent my nights alone
had I known
I would fall in love with the contents of your kitchen drawer
try to sober up before you write me again
you're my favorite friend but you made me a villain
had a dream you were a song i was wrong
i didn't know the lyrics
you made your appearance
then you were gone
try to sober up before you write me again
you're my favorite friend but you made me a villain
try to sober up before you call me again
you're my favorite friend but you made me a villain

I can't make you love me back
if there's a simple explanation for this I've lost track
but now you're sleeping in my room
your sense of urgency made me feel like I owed you
but I don't think I do
If you want her get her back
'cause I can't constantly keep up with all these things I lack
and you can say it isn't true
the situation is that I am growing fond of you
and I don't know what I'm supposed to do
But i don't need to love someone
just to prove that I can love my
Self inflicted misery
trying to find company
I can't pick up all your slack
it's hard enough to keep my own mentality on track
and you are gonna lose me soon
so I will try to like whatever time I've got with you
and all the shit you put me through
But i don't need to love someone
just to prove that I can love my
Self inflicted misery
trying to find company
I don't need to love someone
trying so damn hard to disappearing
through my own lenses
trying to make sense of this
I don't know why
I'm so replaceable
I don't know why
I'm not girlfriend material

who'd you call on your darkest day?
I would have answered
I could have came
I never noticed that we were the same
it makes it even harder not to take the blame
but I can't take your pain away
It's a harsh realization that I can't help you
Take a second
hesitate
We'll explore other options it doesn't have to be the same
I guess in hindsight it's the price we pay
For being too afraid to find the words we always meant to say
but I can't take your pain away
it's a harsh realization that i can't help you
time stops me from moving forward
it's far too late to say
I can't hide
I know what its like
To toss and turn all night
for fear of never awaking inside
But I can't take your pain away
it's a harsh realization that I can't help you
time stops me from moving forward
it's far too late to say
