Stop, wait in the back of your brain,
you think this life is gonna change
Cause you said you were a new girl than before
i'll stop wait in the back of mind,
you think this time you're gonna try, but i'll be
negatively surprised when you come back,
back through my door, same girl as the one you were before
same one who took my heart and ripped it out,
So stop wait, in the back of your brain
you think this life is gonna change
all cause' you said you were the one for me,
stop wait figure this out
you think im comin back, to your lungs still full of doubt
well im gone gone going going gone
gone gone going going gone
gone gone going going gone
stop wait in the back of your brain
stop wait in the back of your brain
cause im gone gone gone going going going gone

What do you do when the things you love run out?
do you call your mom and tell her you need help?
are you close with your dad if so why is that?
last time i saw you he made you sad
well i called you on the phone about last week,
you said youre picking up the pieces that i reap.
well i called you on the phone about last week
just to say im fucking tired, i need sleep
i neep sleep
and when you're watching me, i cant speak
i cant dream
when i close my eyes,
i cant sleep
dont look at me like that because you're feeling sad
you know im not coming back and it makes you mad
i wasted your time while you wasted my life and thats okay
thats okay
because i can breathe
yeah i can sleep

I heard this song when i was 16 with my boyfriend in the back of his car,
we both stopped and paused and looked at eachother
and said "Holy shit this is deep as fuck"
he's still my best friend today
we talked about life and how we thought it would end tragically,
and we were okay with that cause as long as we were gone we wouldnt have to feel these holes in our heart anymore
we both decided that we'd remember every moment we had together as long as we got tattoos that reminded us that we were gonna be okay no matter what.
he spoke these words, the artist i mean
talking about how we only have what we remember and thats all that it seems
so i got it tattooed on my shoulder, i dont know if i said that already but i look at it every day in the mirror and i remind myself that i need to remember all the good times and forget all the bad,
because those memories cant hurt me if i dont have them in my head
Well there was another boy in my life before him,
he died when i was 16 and he was my best friend
i still think about him everyday but i dont think about the way he died i think about the way he lived.
and those good memories are the memories i keep in my head every night before i go to sleep,
i think about what he'd be doing right now and if he would call me
and i know he would.
the point is,
i keep it in my head i keep it in my bed i keep it in my heart
so i never forget his smile.
What im trying to say is that if i would have given up 5 years ago i wouldnt be here today
singing to you and talking to you or whatever the fuck im doing,
but
i kept going
no matter how many times i tried to end it,
Something saved my life
and now i just think of the good times.
and how i cant wait to make more, and meet more people i'll love and more people that will love me.
cause thats really all that life is about,
is loving eachother.
No matter how many times i get my heart broke i wont stop loving and my dad says thats a good thing it means my hearts still beating and i think thats right.
He's smart sometimes.
You'll be alright.
You'll be alright kid, thats what they tell me everyday.

Only 3 years and your lifes turned to shit and i remember your lips and the curve of your hips and it makes me,
yeah it makes me,
fucking sad.
cant you tell me the fucking truth for once?
im really tired of the shit you pull every fucking day,
It makes my head spin it makes me crave all the things
you said i couldnt have,
i never could have had,
the things that make you sad.
the things that are bad.
Im talking about you,
See the drugs never hurt me like you did,
like you did,
but they try. but they cant even touch it,
cant you pick up the fucking phone for once
I need you now,
but thats a lie, yeah im fine
on my own
i keep saying those words but it doesnt feel right
because im not home
im not home
im hearing your words and it makes me want to die
but thats alright,
cause youre fine, but thats a lie.

Let me be selfish for once,
let me walk away, the damage is done
dont you come knockin at my door,
i wont be around anymore
cuz i would move states just to lose you
And i would cross oceans just to shake you
but now its all done
now its all done
and i would change numbers just to lose you but i would come back cause i missed you,
even though it hurts,
even though it hurts
i would move states just to have you
i would cross countries just to find you
but now it's all done
yeah its all done
so let me selfish for once, let me walk away the damage is done,
dont you come knockin at my door,
i wont be around anymore
so stop coming back,
because you think
you were happier before you blinked
cause now its all done,
and i am gone,
so let me be selfish for once,
let me walk away the damage is done
And i dont need you,

Cause i would move states just to lose you,
and i would cross oceans just to shake you
but now its all done,
now its all done.

Does she sing like i do,
does she tell you the truth
does she love you like i never could?
Does she scratch your back when youre feeling sad,
does she care for you like i should?
Does she write songs for you when youre feeling blue
or does she just walk away?
I spent two years waiting to tell you i loved you
more than i could ever say
but you left me for her,
and i cant find the words
but im trying anyways
does she sing like i do
does she tell you the truth?
does she love you like i never could?
does she write songs for you
does she tell you the truth
like i never could
well here i am tellin you how i feel
but youre nowhere to be found
So i'll write songs for you
and i'll tell you the truth
if that means you might come back
Does she write songs for you like i used to when youre feelin sad
because i do.
Yeah i do. yeah i do.
