Heartstrings 01:44
Can we forget about all of the heartache, and all of the mistakes we promised we wouldn’t make? I’m trying my hardest to push the hurt away, but it’s hard to ignore you in every way. You’re tugging at my heartstrings, and I’m beginning to break. You’re tugging at my heartstrings. I’d say sorry, but sorry’s nothing more than a five letter word that you’ve learned to ignore. My words don’t mean anything anymore.

Commonplace 02:45
We fell out of love for the same reasons we fell in. I loved your habits and your flaws, but soon they wore me thin. We began to argue more and more, and we just fought for the sake of fighting. And I know what we had is gone for good, but you can’t blame me for trying To make you notice me again, to get things back to how they were, Before our bitterness set in, when you used to be my cure. I guess I wasn’t cutting it, and loving me became too much work. You grew jaded, and your love faded. And I’m still waiting for conversation. I’m unwanted, and feeling hated’s an understatement. Well I’m broken, and you’re outspoken. If you haven’t noticed, I’m fucking hopeless. So goddamn lonely, and feeling like this is so Commonplace, commonplace. I never wanted it to be like this. For us to sit here and just call it quits. The past few months you’ve been fucking with my head, I’m so tired cause you wore me thin. We fell out of love for the same reasons we fell in. You grew jaded, and your love faded. And I’m still waiting for conversation. I’m unwanted, and feeling hated’s an understatement. Well I’m broken, and you’re outspoken. If you haven’t noticed, I’m fucking hopeless. So goddamn lonely, and feeling like this is so Commonplace, commonplace. I never wanted it to be like this, Cause feeling like this is so commonplace. I never wanted it to be like this, Cause feeling like this is so commonplace.

Irrelevant 04:05
Well I’ve been meaning to ask you, how’s life without me? Is it all that you wanted and everything that you hoped it would be? I’m moving forward, but I haven’t moved on. I still want to start over but you seem to disagree. I’m thinking of good enough reasons to call you, But I can’t find one that would be worth your time. I’ve become irrelevant in your life, you just don’t have the time for me. I’ve never felt so unwanted in my life. Washed up, abandoned, lost at sea. I can’t believe that I let you inside. You broke down my door, forgot the key. I’ve wasted away all the time I’ve tried to show you what you mean to me. Well I don’t believe in anything, but I still believe in you and me. I just don’t understand, this was never the plan. To become strangers to each other, it's so damn hard to see that I’ve become irrelevant in your life, you just don’t have the time for me. I’ve never felt so unwanted in my life. Washed up, abandoned, lost at sea. I can’t believe that I let you inside. You broke down my door, forgot the key. I’ve wasted away all the time I’ve tried to show you what you mean to me. You don’t know what you mean to me. You don’t know what you mean to me. Maybe you were right, this is for the best. And I guess being done is fine by me, but I lost, I lost my best friend. My heart feels heavy and I’m losing sleep. When you left you took what was the better half of me. Who knew I’d ever sink this deep? What the fuck did I do to make you stop loving me?

20 Months 02:48
20 months thrown away, I know we’ve both seen better days. My family’s asking where you’ve been, and it’s hard to tell them Oh it’s hard to tell them That you’d rather throw it all away, instead of fight for your love for me. That you’d rather close the books, never pick me up again, dust me off and read me. You don’t need me. Knowing that you’re done, you’re gone, you’ve moved on. It’s so fucking hard to cope with. Told you that I loved you, and you said it too, But you didn’t have to lie about it. I wish you fucking meant it, wish we could’ve mended, wish we didn’t end it, But now it’s done and it’s over with. (and I wish you meant it) But now it’s done and it’s over with. (and we could’ve mended) But now it’s done and it’s over with. I wish we didn’t end it, but now we’re done. So a few days later, you told me that you want to get together. You were looking for some closure, and I lost my composure. I told you, I thought you wanted space, so I’m giving it to you. I couldn’t help it when I saw you, and I told you that I loved you, I wish that I could undo everything we’ve been through. It goes on, we started talking again. I was ready and willing to try and be more than friends. You were too, so we did, But it felt the same so we quit. You said you were trying your hardest, But I just wasn’t feeling it. I wanted to feel loved and instead I felt none of it. (I wish you meant it cause you fucked me up again. You always know just how to get inside my head. And now it turns out that you meant none of it.) I wish you fucking meant it, wish we could’ve mended, wish we didn’t end it, But now it’s done and it’s over with. (and I wish you meant it) But now it’s done and it’s over with. (and we could’ve mended) But now it’s done and it’s over with. I wish we didn’t end it, but now we’re done and I’m over it.

January 03:43
That night on the car ride home, I looked into your eyes and I could tell something was wrong. And now, every time I get stopped at that light, I tear up cause it brings me back to that night. That night that you stopped loving me. Your love was so cold, fitting for the weather at the time. How stupid am I to try and reignite Something that burned out so long ago? If there was something I could do to get you back, I’d do it tenfold. I just want you to love me the way that you used to. The stories that we wrote down mean nothing to you anymore. I hope you lie in your bed and you fall asleep lonely like I do. All my mistakes, and misunderstandings, They show that I care, they show that I’m trying To figure you out and why you tore me down. I’d cross an ocean for you but you’d rather see me drown. And maybe this empty space is where I belong, And I wish I could erase all the wrong lines that I’ve drawn. Cause now you’re messing with me, and you don’t give a fuck. So I’m done playing your games cause I’ve been your pawn for far too long. I just want you to love me the way that you used to. The stories that we wrote down mean nothing to you anymore. I hope you lie in your bed and you fall asleep lonely like I do. Forever in my vision, But always out of reach. If only you’d leave my mind, I’d finally get some sleep. I just want you to love me the way that you used to. The stories that we wrote down mean nothing to you anymore. I hope you lie in your bed and you fall asleep lonely like I do.

I Miss 04:11
I miss the old us, and I hate the distance that we’ve made I miss the old you cause this new one’s just not the same I miss that feeling in my chest that I’d get when you’d tell me you love me I miss the kindness of your heart and your head, why won’t you tell me you love me? It’s so messed up That I feel so unloved But nothing fucks me up more than when I Miss You comes on the radio And I sing along I swear I hear you singing too But I blink and then you’re gone I’m sorry that it didn’t work I know that I did you wrong I wish it was easier for both of us But you know I can’t move on I miss your face, its just as pretty as your personality I miss the way you’d call me names, and goddamn do I miss your family. I miss your house, and I miss your dog, and I miss your out-of-tune piano. I miss you so much, but now you’re gone, And I’ve faded away like a shadow. It’s so messed up That I feel so unloved But nothing fucks me up more than when I Miss You comes on the radio And I sing along I swear I hear you singing too But I blink and then you’re gone I’m sorry that it didn’t work I know that I did you wrong I wish it was easier for both of us But you know I can’t move on You know I can’t move on Well it’s funny, how you’re the one with closure. And I just can’t get over it. The tables have turned And all that I’ve learned Is I’m weaker than I’ve ever been. Just talk to me, Why won’t you talk to me? I miss my best friend, It’s just not the same, I’m stupid for thinking that it could be anyway. But nothing fucks me up more than when I Miss You comes on the radio (don’t waste your time on me) I Miss You comes on the radio (don’t waste your time on me) I Miss You comes on the radio (don’t waste your time on me) I Miss You comes on the radio (don’t waste your time on me) I Miss You comes on the radio And I sing along I swear I hear you singing too But I blink and then you’re gone
