You never mentioned feeling that way before
Is there something hiding behind your closet door?
Told you how I felt, told everyone else to go to hell
Addiction signs came, you said to me you need no one’s help
I sat on the curb and conjured some words to figure out
What exactly it is that I’m so scared about
Told you how I felt, told everyone else I needed help
I came to you, you said to me I could go to hell
And I never want to do this again
I’ll cut off my ties so I’m not under your skin
The world is alive but I’m happy feeling dead
Just to kill all of the thoughts in my head…
You thought I’d come back if you shined up your lips
You felt the regret through my fingertips
You didn’t know I was losing my way
Puncture my skin feed it in through my veins
I’m not okay
Having panic attacks on a picnic bench
‘Cause nothing helps when I feel like this
And I don’t want to quit drinking again
I just want to quit drinking alone

All the pain that you felt didn’t pass through you like everyone else
All the things you taught me, like “never fall for safety,
Cause a new day will come, and it looks clear.
Nobody knows what happened here”
The darkness came, it almost went
You hid behind your cigarette
I look out across the rain
Will you remind me of your name?
And I never felt the same again,
After going through that pain together
I pass through your mind so fast
Your attention span could never last
You can run away from the fears of the past and pretend that you’re not broken
Cause for better or for worse
I always put you first
Like a fortune gave from birth
I fell for your curse
I look out across the rain
Will you remind me of your name?
And I never felt the same again,
After going through that pain together
(I don’t want to do this anymore cause when I left, I swear you locked the door. When I came back you just yelled and screamed about all those things in your memory, you said.)

I still felt numb when you said you loved me last night
I’m still waiting for the day when I feel alright
You scared me when you said,
“I can’t take this anymore, get out of my head”
You were lying on the floor
I still felt weird when you called me your best friend
I never thought someone could love me like that again
But I was wrong about every little thing
From car accidents to recognizing you in my dreams

We’re putting road beers in travel mugs
Cause without our buzz it will all start coming back
In front of God and everyone, I will break you down
In front of God and everyone, if you don’t quit fucking around
You know what you did
Don’t come back home you worthless kid
Walking alone with my eyes red
Just looking for a place so I can lay my head
300-something days until the ball drops
We’re running from the cops
Ash falls from your cigarette that you fell asleep smoking
But don’t worry I’ll put it out for you
You know how it is
It don’t make sense but
It’s how you’re supposed to live
Breathe in the smoke just this time
The first communion feels so right
I don’t need to sleep as badly as I need to drink
This isn’t what it looked like in my dreams
God & Everyone…….
God & Everyone…….
Quit fucking around

I was looking at the trees and I saw what they were saying to me, they think that I could fly but I think that I could be anything
I was running through the streets and she was chasing after me. Why does she think that she can change someone as messed up as me?
A mom that can’t see me and a dad that always leaves, I’ll paint a picture of myself to see what they’ve always seen in me
Alcohol is in the stream my blood is simply drowning, you better not listen to me. You better not step in to see this side of me
Put your hands behind your head
Hold them there til I get back
I was looking at the sky ‘cause it reminds me of your eyes. Can I see your smile just one more time? Then maybe I’ll smile back
I was looking at his grave and I wondered what he’d say. Would he still be proud if he could see me today? Or would he look away?
I was looking at the hole that I made in the wall.. I never want to get that angry again, and I’m sorry I did.
