unselfaware

Hey
You really hurt me
Do you even care
Hey
You're a jerk, mate
You're so unselfaware
I gave you too many chances
I always do
I let you make your advances
Can't say no to you
And in the end
It always ends
Hey
You really hurt me
Do you even care
Hey
You're a jerk, mate
You're so unselfaware
I let you lie straight to my face
I said I just needed some space
You point fingers, blame it somewhere else
But you should start with yourself
And in the end
It always ends
With me breaking
Hey
You really hurt me
Do you even care
Hey
You're a jerk, mate
You're so unselfaware
Hey
I can't stand it
How can you act that way
Hey
Get some sense, mate
You're a million miles away
False sense of hope
And I'm gone
Won't help you cope
Now I'm gone
I've cut the rope
Can't lead me on
Cause in the end
It always ends
Hey
You really hurt me
Do you even care
Hey
You're a jerk, mate
You're so unselfaware
Hey
I can't stand it
How can you act that way
Hey
Get some sense, mate
You're a million miles away

Car Crash
03:28
|
|||
|
Are you strapped in
Cause I'm about to tell you the worst thing
Are you ready, set, go
But my heart breaks
And your mind aches
So what's the point anyway
Take me back
So I can swallow my words
So I don't have to rehearse this damn let down
Take me back
To the car crash
So I can watch it go in slow motion
Think it through
Before I swerve right through
The house we built together
Are you strapped in
Cause I'm a monster
And you're gonna wanna run
Do you see my teeth grow sharp
My eyes turn black
And my smile turns dark
Oh, how do you see me
Why can't you take me back
So I can swallow my words
So I don't have to rehearse this damn let down
Take me back
To the car crash
So I can watch it go in slow motion
Think it through
Before I swerve right over you
Before I turn myself to ruins
If I just paid more attention we'd be good
One little slip can turn the world so cold
If I'd watched myself carefully, there'd be nothing to make me worry
Oh, pull me out of the crash
Why can't you take me back
To the car crash
And I can change it all before it goes too far
And you're gone
I'm letting go this time
Let me fall right through the floor
And make it stop

to see you smile
02:33
|
|||
|
I know it's been a while
But I would like to see you smile
And I know we're both in the deep end
But I would still swim to you
If you'd let me
I know it's been some time, friend
But I see those heavy eyes coming to an end
You've just gotta breathe
Pull up your sleeves
But don't drop your heart
And I don't know what's in your head
And I know it's easier to stay in bed
And I don't know what you've been trying
All I know is that you're lying
I said, just take your time
There's no rush for you to give the sign
Just know I feel your heart beating
And know that these moments are fleeting
Right before our eyes
I know it's been a while
But I would like to see you smile
And I know we're both in the deep end
But I would still swim to you
If you'd let me

Let Go
03:55
|
|||
|
You came right in and did exactly what I was scared of
You made me trust, then you got bored
I get left when push comes to shove
How can someone open you up then leave like you are nothing
How can someone lie straight to your face
And make you feel like you are something
And I'm too tired for this
And I don't wanna fight for this
But I've hurt too much for this
To let go so soon
You look so casual, sitting there
While my heart is breaking
You gave me hope
But I’ll just cope
I’ll give and you do the taking
It's just a game you play
It's not okay
But I’m used to it
It’s just that you faded away
When you said
You’d stay
And I'm too tired for this
And I don't wanna fight for this
But I've hurt too much for this
To let go so soon
And this feels too heavy
And I'm too tired for this
And I don't wanna fight for this
But I've hurt too much for this
To let you break my walls

Is Anybody Listening?
03:56
|
|||
|
You've let me down again
How do you think I feel
Forgotten again
How do you think I feel
Like an old broken toy
Just leave me on my own
I've shut my mouth
I've stopped speaking
Just leave me on my own
I'm not the first choice, the second choice, the third choice
Or even the last one
I've found my place
Does anyone remember my name
Do I speak
Of course I speak
Oh, it's funny that you asked
Cause I'm always so damn quiet
Maybe that's because the world is too loud
So tell me your story
I'll listen and I won't complain
Cancel plans at the last minute
Really, it's okay
Oh, do you see I'm a little bit lonely
Oh, do you think I'm a little bit worried
Oh, pretend that you like me
Oh, I can't help but think that no one is listening
I trusted you again
How do you think I feel
I thought I was at least a 6/10
But it seems you've sealed the deal
Let me down again
How do you think I feel
Let me down again
How do you think I feel
I think I'll blow out that candle tonight

Fraction
03:58
|
|||
|
I won't ask for anything more
I will close all the doors that I'd opened up once
And it's hurting and it's bothering the dust
And it's over and I'm learning where to put my trust
Tried too hard to hold it all together
Tried too hard to be as light as a feather for you
But I'm tired now and the sun sets
And the people go inside
No distraction, just a fraction of sense left in my mind
Maybe I'm alone but it's quiet finally
Maybe I'm crying but the tears fall so easily
And I don't think I'm wasting time
To rest my weary eyes now
Too many things make the world go round
Look up at the stars, listen to the sound
Of the leaves and the wind blowing calmly at the start
And the sound of my heart beating when you pulled it apart
Maybe I'm alone but it's quiet finally
Maybe I'm crying but the tears fall so easily
And I don't think I'm wasting time
To rest my weary eyes now
I'll be quiet
Let me breathe
Let me think for a minute
I'll be quiet
Let me breathe
Let me think for a minute
Maybe I'm alone but it's quiet finally
Maybe I'm crying but the tears fall so easily
And I don't think I'm wasting time
To rest my weary eyes now

I'll Watch The Moon
03:16
|
|||
|
I don't mind the quiet
The trees and the leaves and the bite
You're allowed to close your eyes
And shut out all the people saying words
I'll watch the moon
I'm sorry, I can't sleep tonight
I'll try to turn off all the lights in the house
I'm sorry that I let you down
Again and again
I've played it out in my head
In my bed
And I know that you don't care
But I'm trying so fucking hard down here
But everything I do is never enough
I'll watch the moon
You can leave
Let me sleep
I see the blaze in your eyes
But I'm not surprised
I hear you shouting at the top of your lungs
But you're just speaking
So tonight
Oh, tonight
Oh, tonight
I'll watch the moon

Ghost
04:20
|
|||
|
I'm so sick of acting like I feel okay
You don't get it
I'm trying my best
And I don't know
Which way is up
And which way is down
But I just want it to end now
Try to put my heart on my sleeve
But you don't see
You never see
I'm here begging
"Please, listen to me"
You never listen to me
And I don't know
Which way is up
And which way is down
But I just want it to end now
I'm waiting for a sign to tell me to stop
I'll keep waiting cause I've already felt my whole head drop
And I don't see the point of carrying on
I don't see the point of trying this one on
And I feel like I should be somewhere else
And maybe I'm just a ghost
Throw a rock out to sea
You can leave a little wish for me
Cause I know that you know about the voices in here
And how they get inside your head
Sometimes I think "Oh, I'd be better off dead"
I'm waiting for a sign to tell me to stop
I'll keep waiting cause I've already felt my whole head drop
And I don't see the point of carrying on
I don't see the point of trying this one on
And I feel like I should be somewhere else
And maybe I'm just a ghost
And I don't see the point of carrying on
I don't see the point of trying this one on
And I feel like I should be somewhere else
And maybe I'm just a ghost
And I don't see the point of carrying on
I don't see the point of trying this one on
And I feel like I should be somewhere else
And maybe I'm just a ghost
