Where Are You?

Five o'clock comes around
Goes around
You're not around
I guess I'm just missing the sound
All of these corners
The cracks and the borders
The total disorder was ours
And you said you needed some time
And I listened to your every last word
My head is caving and I’m on the edge
Where are you
Where are you
Where are you now
Oh, it's true
Oh, we’re through
I’ll go on somehow
It's Saturday
Go away
Leave me
I'm trying to stay sane
Oh, what a funny way
To spend my holiday
Wishing for a simple distraction
And you said you needed some time
So I listened to your every last word
My head is caving and I’m on the edge
Where are you
Where are you
Where are you now
Oh, it's true
Oh, we’re through
I’ll go on somehow
So I took some time to myself
Found a new obsession to take up my time
Oh, I put our book on the shelf
At least when it's there I can say it's still mine
And you don't have to send me messages anymore
I'm glad that you're doing fine
And you don't have to listen to my stories anymore
I’ll hang them up on the line
Where are you
Where are you
Where are you now
Oh, it's true
Oh, we’re through
I’ll go on somehow
And you don't have to send me messages anymore
And you don't have to listen to my stories anymore

I'm So Alone
03:55

Oh look, I’m alone
Oh look, another quiet night to treat me right
Turn off my cell phone
And then I’ll turn it right back on again
Oh look, I’m alone
But it’s not so bad down here
I’m better off without you
No, it’s not so bad down here
Oh god, I think I’m going to cry
Just one night more
Woah, woah
I’m so alone
Too fast, then too slow
Can’t you pick up your phone
And just send me something
Anything, I’ll take it happily
Woah, woah, god
I’m so alone
You said I was your whole damn heart
Then you broke me apart
And it’s fine, I’ll find someone so much better
Too bad for you
Oh look, the world is so much brighter
Without you I feel so much lighter
And I didn’t think I could go on without you
But it’s three AM and I’m doing just great
Cause it’s not so bad down here
I’m better off without you
No, it’s not so bad down here
Oh god, I think I’m going to lie
Just one night more
Woah, woah
I’m so alone
Too fast, then too slow
Can’t you pick up your phone
And just send me something
Anything, I’ll take it happily
Woah, woah, god
I’m so alone
Woah, woah
I’m so alone
Too fast, then too slow
I’m so alone
Why can't you send me something
Anything, I’ll take it happily
Woah, woah
But I'm not alone

Black Out Baby
03:29
|
|||
|
I didn't drink that much, I swear
I only fell off my chair one time
Help me decide what to wear before I tear myself apart
And you look really great
I think I said that fifty times
And I'll be home by eight
I promise myself before the night
But I'm not
I'm never in my own head before 3AM
And you make me believe that you care for me more than them
So I could be
Your blackout baby
I've been thinking
It's so scary
I don't know who I am
Your pastime lover, forever after
In my head, in my bed, but never sober
And I don't really mind if it's all for just one night
And I've tried to tell myself that it's over every time
Disappoint myself, then you can't disappoint me
It's easier that way, you see
And you look really great
I think I said that sixty times
Cause I see you everywhere
Like you're black and white
And I'm colourblind
But I'm not
I'm just hopelessly adoring you
But God, you don't need to know
Just one more night and you could be through
So let me be
Your blackout baby
I've been thinking
It's so scary
I don't know who I am
Your pastime lover, forever after
In my head, in my bed, but never sober
I don't know who I am
Your pastime lover, forever after
In my head, in my bed, but never sober

Losing Again
04:01

Shiny new toy sitting alone by myself
Come play with my feelings before someone else does
Shiny new toy sitting across the room
I know I shouldn't
I can't stop staring at you
But that's all I am
Please don't pretend
I don't think I like this game
It always ends with me getting hurt
It always ends the same
And I don't feel like losing again
Like losing again, again, again
Like losing again
Like losing again, again, again
I'm just the shiny new toy
But you'll be bored pretty soon
And I'm pretty sure that all your friends hate me too
Cause I'm stepping over wires
Getting caught up in the strings
Gonna fall for you soon
And it already stings
I'm going crazy
Gonna break myself
Or even worse
Maybe you are gonna be the one to break me first
And that's okay
I guess I've come to accept
That maybe being a toy is just for the best
And that's all I am
Please don't pretend
I don't think I like this game
It always ends with me getting hurt
It always ends the same
And I don't feel like losing again
Like losing again, again, again
Like losing again
Like losing again, again, again
Like losing again
Like losing again, again, again
Like losing again
Like losing again, again, again
Make up your mind
Please don't treat me like your option
You know I'm fucking terrified of all this goddamn trusting
And I don't wanna lose you
But maybe I should
Because I'm messing it all up and you so easily could
Just walk right away
Back to your comfort place
At least that's what they say
So please stay
I don't think I like this game
It always ends with me getting hurt
It always ends the same
And I don't feel like losing again
Like losing again, again, again
Like losing again
Like losing again, again, again
Like losing again
Like losing again, again, again
Like losing again
Like losing again, again, again
I'm gonna lose again

Superglue
03:10
|
|||
|
You could call me up at two AM
And if you asked me to, I'd come to you
And pick up your pieces and put you back together
If only that meant forever and ever
Tear off little bits of myself and stick them to you
I'll be your superglue
I'll hold you when you need me to
And when you leave I'll say I already knew
You could break every boundary
And snap my heart in two
And you know that I'd probably say thank you
I'll forgive every mistake you make
And you won't be next to me the next day
And I'll say it's okay
You like me cause I play it cool
And I let you do whatever you want to
Crash landing on a bed of glass
I already asked but could you stay
And you will cause it's too late anyway
I'm scared you only like me when you're drunk and alone
And we make promises you say you'll keep and then you don't
It's like you're so willing to lose me
But I'll give you another chance
But I'm sure there'll come a time when I just simply can't
You could break every boundary
And snap my heart in two
And you know that I'd probably say thank you
I'll forgive every mistake you make
And you won't be next to me the next day
And I'll say it's okay

Suddenly

You didn't mean it like that, I know
I guess it just goes to show
How fragile I can be
I'm sure you can agree
It's not your fault you struck a chord
In my brain from way before
Memories come back to me like a wave hitting the shore
If I close my eyes
Will it go away this time
But suddenly I'm twenty
Lonely and afraid
That you might break my heart on any other day
Suddenly I'm back there
Crying all night and thinking
How I'll stop myself from drinking this time around
Your words just came out wrong
Like the wrong chord in a song
And I would never blame you for that
It's crazy how a phrase
Can take me back into that haze
My vision blurred, my brain's content stirred behind a happy face
If I bite my tongue
Will I go numb
Cause suddenly I'm twenty
Lonely and afraid
That you might break my heart on any other day
Suddenly I'm back there
Crying all night and thinking
How I'll stop myself from drinking this time around
I just get scared sometimes
And that's okay
It's just a memory with a price to pay
I get scared sometimes
It's just what I do
I don't think I'll ever stop loving you
I get scared sometimes cause I care for you
Gosh, I really hope that you care too
I get scared sometimes
I get scared sometimes
I get scared sometimes
I get scared sometimes
I get scared sometimes
Cause suddenly I'm twenty
Lonely and afraid
That you might break my heart on any other day
Suddenly I'm back there
Crying all night and thinking
How I'll stop myself from drinking this time around
Suddenly

That's What I'll Say
02:52
|

|
I'm doing okay
I'm doing fine
You didn't think I'd recognize
All the signs
All the times that you put me inside a box
Don't play coy
I'm just a toy
I'm just for show on your shelf
I'm doing okay
Yeah, I'm doing fine
But I can tell I'm on the decline
Oh well
I'm doing fine
That's what I'll say
I didn't need your help anyway
Yeah, I'll survive another day
So what if I'm not okay
I'll tiptoe softly, like I've always done
I didn't mean to ruin your fun
I'm doing okay
Don't lend a hand
Why are you scared
I'll just bite
You think it's time now
A bit late now
Maybe you should've come a little sooner
Think I'm mad
Are you glad
I broke my heart again
It's alright, yeah, it's just fine
I'll get over it this time
Whatever
I'm doing fine
That's what I'll say
I didn't need your help anyway
Yeah, I'll survive another day
So what if I'm not okay
I'll tiptoe softly, like I've always done
I didn't mean to ruin your fun
But what does it matter if everyone's underwater
We're all just the same
So I'll tell you I'm okay
I'll tell you I'm okay
I'll tell you I'm okay
I'll tell you I'm okay
I'm doing okay
I'm doing fine
I think it's over now
I just need some time
I'm doing okay
I'm doing fine
