Euan Murphy Both this EP and the one before it manage to portray heartbreak and longing in the simplest, most straightforward way. The lyrics cut straight to the point, and as a result they carry a lot of weight and emotion with them. It's unashamedly melodramatic, but I dig it! Favorite track: Figure This Out.

Michael Safe Bet shows his mastery of poignant lyrics, compelling emotions, and fantastical melody once more in What's Left of This. Favorite track: Ghost.

If it meant that I could hear your voice I’d let you tell me every day that you don’t love me I’d shut my mouth and I’d listen, because for some stupid reason It still hasn’t been drilled into my thick skull yet I’m just trying to get an understanding of this I always search for what is lost, I know I’ve gotta quit I think I’m over this, but then I just regress And I know that you have been done for so long but I keep romanticizing the idea of you and me And I’m still hoping for something Something that’ll never be I still haven’t learned So I tell myself that we’ll figure all this out I know it’ll never happen so I guess I’ll shut my mouth Save my breath And accept that you’re happy I’m just glad that you’re happy with where you are I know I said I’m moving forward but I might’ve made a mistake Cause I just feel like I’ve been cornered Yeah I’m stuck here in the same place. I’ve gotta get you the hell out of my head already You’re burned in my brain I’m deteriorating So much time has passed, I’m still just here waiting And I know that you have been done for so long but I keep romanticizing the idea of you and me And I’m still hoping for something Something that’ll never be I still haven’t learned So I tell myself that we’ll figure all this out I know it’ll never happen so I guess I’ll shut my mouth Save my breath And accept that you’re happy I’m just glad that you’re happy with where you are The truth is I’m just afraid of being alone in the end So I tell myself that we’ll figure all this out I know it’ll never happen so I guess I’ll shut my mouth Save my breath And accept that you’re happy I’m just glad that you’re happy Yeah I tell myself that we’ll figure all this out I know it’ll never happen so I’ll shut my fucking mouth Save my breath And accept that you’re happy Cause I just want you to be happy Whether it’s with or without me Though it’s clear that you don’t need me I just fucking wish you loved me

Ghost 04:18
You held me captive Confined to living in the shadow of your absence Will I ever dig myself out of this mess? I’ve gotta clear my head I know I have to Try my best to find my footing here without you I haven’t walked on solid ground since you left I’m wasting time again I’m holding hands with your ghost And it’s telling me that I just need to Take a deep breath and let you go I can’t keep holding on to what seems like thin air to you I’ve just gotta learn to let this go I’ve never felt so lost Inside these circles in the ground that I can’t step across It feels like something weighs me down right on my chest So lay me to rest I never thought that this would hurt But I’ll just let my body burn You might not be what I deserve but you’re what I want I’m holding hands with your ghost And it’s telling me that I just need to Take a deep breath and let you go I can’t keep holding on to what seems like thin air to you I’ve just gotta learn to let this go All of my demons wear masks of your face Your phantom still haunts me, I feel its embrace I’m holding hands with your ghost And it’s telling me that I just need to Take a deep breath and let you go (I can’t keep holding on to you) Let you go

Back to You 03:30
I’ve been wasting all my time Waiting for the day when thoughts of you don’t cloud my mind And I’ve been trying to repair Not that I think you should care, I’m just clearing the air But do you think that we Could still be friends And just pretend I don’t love you We could get to know the newest versions of each other Act like we were never lovers too Or is it too complicated? Well maybe it is So just do me a favor And tell me how to forget all of this Cause I’ve been spending all my days Wishing that the rain would fall and wash this all away All this aching in my chest that’s been Making it so much harder for me to breathe How could I be so naive To even think that maybe you and I Could still be friends And just pretend I don’t love you We could get to know the newest versions of each other Act like we were never lovers Something that I’ve tried to do Since the day that I lost you Since the day that I watched you leave Cause I’ve been wasting all my time Tormenting myself with foolish ideas I wish I could just leave this all behind It doesn’t pain me like it used to It just gets on my nerves I don’t wanna fucking think about you anymore I try to sway my mind away But no matter what I just always come right back to you

Papercut 03:10
Lately, it’s been feeling like my bones are collapsing And all this heartache is weighing me down I thought that this would be over by now But you know it seems that I will I’ll never wash you off of me You’re just like a scar or a bad tattoo I can cover you up but there will always be a memory of you It’s hard to keep my composure when I still don’t have closure. I’m breaking down into little tiny pieces And faking a smile hoping someone believes it This situation has me on a steady decline And it digs into me like a thorn in my side Well you know it seems that I will I’ll never wash you off of me You’re just like a scar or a bad tattoo I can cover you up but there will always be a memory of you It hurts just like a papercut Your love just wasn’t deep enough It only scratched the surface I guess I wasn’t worthy of your Time heals all wounds they say So why won’t these bruises go away? Cause it’s been another 20 months And I’m still just so in love You’re still all I’m thinking of to this day I wish you would’ve stayed

Karinne 05:41
Hey Karinne Could you tell me how you moved on so quick It’s been over a year and I’m still not over it I guess I’m just wondering how the hell you’ve been Yeah Karinne You know you really changed the way I think Cause everything just seems so god damn bleak I never thought I’d ever feel this weak I’m daydreaming and pretending that you love me It’s a nice thought so I think it all the time I’m wondering Does your chest still get all heavy when we speak? And do you ever lie down and wish you were lying beside me? Cause girl I miss you, yeah you’re always on my mind You don’t want to be my friend but I still want you to be mine So Karinne When I think I’m getting better Thoughts of you just creep right in And I can feel the pressure, I feel you under my skin So if this is what you wanted then I guess you fucking win Yeah Karinne You know I’ve never been one To forget about the past it’s like I’m stuck in this rut And it digs deep in me, I feel it in my gut I find myself clinging to all the things that you love I spend my nights watching Tarantino movies And picturing you quote all your favorite lines I’m wondering Does your chest still get all heavy when we speak? And do you ever lie down and wish you were lying beside me? Cause girl I miss you, yeah you’re always on my mind You don’t want to be my friend but I still want you to be mine Well Karinne I’m trying my hardest to move on just like you want me to do But honestly I’m sorry cause I’m still in love with you
