I still think about the kids who stole my tickets and my card
At Dave and Buster's Philadelphia at least one time a month
It made me never trust a kid who I don't know
And to this day I won't go to Dave and Buster's on my own
And I still don't forgive them
And I still don't forgive them now
And I still don't forgive them till I die
And I won't forgive myself
When I was in sophomore year of high school I
I thought I had some real good friends
But when they left me out of their hotel room group
I realized not one of them is
And I still don't forgive them
And I still don't forgive them now
And I still won't believe them when they say
That they're sorry 'cause I know that nothing's changed
I didn't think you'd recognize me in the store
It's been so long I didn't think you knew my face shape anymore
And if you called me I'd start crying on the phone
Your voice reminds me that I'll always be alone
And I wake up in the corner of my room
And I'll try to hold my breath
And I'll scratch my walls until my fingers bleed
And I still won't feel okay
Destroy me
Destroy me
Destroy me
Destroy me

I wish you'd take my money

It's my fault
I won't get another chance
I used my call
I give up
I'm not getting sober here
My heart's too hard
Now I know
I'm not getting over it
I've come too far
In my heart
I'm not getting older yet
I trip, I fall
Nobody sleeps for free
Waking up to go to work
Taking what I don't need
Stealing from the grocery store
I'm scared of the things I know
I do all the things I should
The horror that's on your face said more than any sentence could
Running out of time
I wanna be here till I die
And I won't be satisfied until I make up for lost time
I know what's right
I know the people who I like
But I'm still terrified I gotta recall all my lies
Live through an awful year
Everybody's car broke down
I lied about all my symptoms didn't wanna stress you out
You used to make me laugh
Now nobody cares at all
Now all I know about my friends is every way to piss them off
Running out of time
I wanna be here till I die
And I won't be satisfied until I make up another lie
I know what's right
But I don't do it all the time
Now I'm turning off my mind so I can live through another night
I never lied
'Cause I believed it at the time
But now it doesn't matter cause it's your word over mine

Wasn't hidden but I thought you couldn't see
Made a promise that I knew I couldn't keep
In forever is a distant luxury
I'm not there now and I know I'll never be
It's funny when you never gotta face it
New car pocket money dinner always makes it whole
It's not fair
It's not fair
I'm sick of it!
I ran out of options
The rich kids
They make their little jokes
I don't laugh
I don't laugh
It's the space age
But we've got no money
He knows not what he does
Just like a little boy
He don't care
He don't care!
I've tried it
I'll tell you I know right now it won't work
Don't fight it
It happens for a reason you just need to
Trust
In your senses
When there's nowhere to call
Cause there'll be one day when your friends won't wanna take the fall
But it's so easy
When you're playing it off
You don't even look like you've been trying hard at all
Let's not talk around it
I see what you're doing
You're hiding in plain sight
Pretend you don't care
It's not fair
It's not fair!
I'm sick of it!
I've been here too often
Speak in hollow voices
Saying nothing at all
It's just air
It's just air
Is it bad intention
Or overcompensating
A textbook misguided youth
With a brand new toy
He won't share
He won't share
I'm useless
I don't know any way to pay my debt
Consider
You haven't done no good for anybody else
But yourself man
And that's no way to be
And in our worst moments we expect more out of you than me
But it's so easy
When you're playing it off
You won't even look like you've been trying hard at all
I don't care if you don't want to go back home
Never seen you any other time feel so bold
In another life we'd be stuck outside in the cold
But until that day, I'll be loving you on my own, darling
Now I hate to hear you talk like that when there's no one else around
Cause there's no comfort in romanticizing your own hell
But it's so easy when there's nowhere to be
And there ain't nobody who knows better now than you or me, oh

Fingers On My Skin

I never knew just what to do
It’s true
With nothing but a child’s point of view
But now I think I have a clue
I do
You don’t look like the photographs but they all know it’s you
I felt your fingers on my skin
I never wanted it to end
I felt your fingers
I felt your fingertips
But you’re one form that I can’t figure out
And now I have no more excuse
What’s new
And all those little stories that your mother told were true
I said “my god, what did I do to you?”
You said “if you don’t know by now, you’re gonna find out pretty soon”
I felt your fingers on my skin
I never wanted it to end
I felt your lead nails scratch down my paper back
But you’re one form that I can't figure out
They always offer you a cigarette
And now they’re laughing at a joke you wouldn’t get
But if you’re ugly then you’re outta luck
They’re only friends with people that they wanna fuck
I see the way you’re looking through me
Your words are written in the sand
Washed out and never getting through to me
I know you’ll never understand
But hey, man it’s alright
Cause I don’t care when I don’t feel fine
It’s okay, man I’ll still try
It hurts right now but it’ll take some time
And I say I’m okay but there’s always gonna be some doubt
And you’re one form that I can’t figure out

In the morning
I don't wanna go to work now
It's all gone
In a moment
I don't wanna get it perfect
In my heart
In that moment
I don't know if i’d have done that
In the fall
I'll be better
I don't wanna do the work now
Do the work
Quit today
Wait forever
I don't wanna be important
It's too late
For forgiving
I don't know if I deserve it
Stay in bed
Play the victim
I know we've been here before this
Just because
Air is quiet
Doesn't mean we need to talk now
Need to talk
When I fall asleep
I don't ever dream
And I knew I couldn't leave
With you staring back at me
When I fall asleep
I don't ever dream
And I knew I couldn't leave
With you staring back at me
When I fall asleep
I don't ever dream
And I knew I couldn't leave
With you staring back at me

Waste time
Wait for you
Try to keep myself awake
Faced my fate for you
Own up to my selfish game
And I asked for my own sake
I couldn't make it all okay
Drag my feet throughout my days
And hope that it'll work for me
Too long overdue
Cry until I fall asleep
Changed my name for you
Real until it goes away
And I learn from my mistakes
I see it from a different place
And I wait for my embrace
But comfort doesn't ever stay
They say I don't know better but I know what I done saw
I couldn't care until I heard what I done wrong
Maybe we were better off
Faking it like nothing changed
And we weep for better times
But living then was just the same
They say I don't know better
They say I don't know better
They say I don't know better
They don't know their right from wrong
They don't know their right from wrong

I left for my own sake
Live forever feel no shame
It's too late to do it over
I gave my final say
Other people feel the same
There's no way I'm getting over
And if my love don't stay
Cut my hair and change my name
Burn my bridge
Start over
But you still walk by
And I waive my right
And I share my life
But I waste my time
I'll never be with you
I'll never be with you
I'll never be with you
I'll never be with you

Say what you did but I know you didn't mean it
Know that I should but I'm not sure what to do yet
These days I have more control but
I fall into the same mistakes
Started out as a joke until it's not
Try to make sense but there's no way to believe it
Wasting my guilt on someone who doesn't need it
It's gonna take me so long
But I don't care if I get it wrong
Started out as a joke until it's not
Felt bad I didn't think before I spoke
Try to help when you don't even need to talk
Know there's nothing to do right now
but feel like I need to fix it up
Started out as a joke until it's not
Knocked down twice now never gonna not be dumb
Drink to forget why you didn't want to come
I try to explain myself and still come off as a hypocrite
Started out as a joke until it's not
Dropped out cause you knew that it would get brought up
Don't know when you shouldn't be the one to talk
I ran out of sympathy for fucked up kids who wont help themselves
Somebody who you knew and then they're not
Found out for myself
I fall hard
I'm not scared
I crawl up
I can't stay quiet
How far

Thought I saw you in my sleep
You didn't care what I had to say
Lost my glasses at the beach on Coney Island, Brooklyn, USA
And it feels like your whole life just walked out the kitchen door
On the day that they told you don’t call here anymore
But I don't feel no surprise
I want it to be different every day
Oh, I want it to be different every day
No it doesn't make a difference what you say
'Cause I know you never listen anyway
It's all over in one day
How quickly can your love turn into hate
Know I made a big mistake
But I'm only seventeen so it's okay
For the first time in years getting back inside my head
Spend another whole summer just wishing you were dead
And it all will turn out fine
I want it to be different every day
Oh, I want it to be different every day
Only thinking of the things I didn't say
It all gets further but it never goes away
Oh, I want it to be different every day
I want it to be different every day
I want it to be different every day
I want it to be different every day
We went way too far
Wasting our time on being apart
I'll wait for you to go
Scared of my own shadow
Scared of my own shadow
I wish it didn't have to be so long and drawn out
I hate the fights
'Cause this was always just another way for us to get to be together
Wait for me to come and see you
I don't need to go home
I just need to hear what you were saying
Take a look and find out for myself
For my sake
But I know that I can't play it safe
Lost in a dream
But I guess we'll have to wait and see
Know that I'm wrong
But I can't admit that it's my fault
Oh, now I see that I need you more than you need me

It's been harder for me to locate you
And if that's because of me I can forgive you
If it was all just a dream I could forget you
But it's been so long since I woke up and I still know you
It'll take a real long time to get a little better but
I'm not done yet, I still remember the way you look
I'm not done yet, I still remember the way you look
I'm not done yet, I still remember the way you look
I'm not done yet, I still remember the way you look
So I'll paint a pretty scene
But if you're not there with me that won't make me feel better
Call out run into the street and we'll make each other bleed
That'll make me feel better
Who are you to tell to me not to go and make a scene
Not to blame you forever
Don't know how it's gonna be but it's you I wanna see
That'll make me feel better
Burn all your pictures of me
Just to help your self esteem
Turn the pain into ember
Don't know how it's gonna be but it's you I wanna see
That'll make me feel better
Try to take my time
I'm not gonna live my life for other people
Can't get out of my mind
I'm not gonna live my life for other people
Act like everything's fine
I'm not gonna live my life for other people
All part of the design
I'm not gonna live my life for other people

Looking back I didn't do all that I think I could
For the better, for myself, or for the greater good
I am selfish and ungrateful and I talk too much
And my one hope for redemption is to gain your trust
Can you believe it's been a year since we invented time
What I won't give for a reason not to change my mind
And if we're all here forever then I need to know
Do you mean the things you say or is it just a joke
Cause I believe you
I know I fucked it up I ran out of time for keeping my head on straight
Make me promise that I won't go too far
I know I fucked it up I ran out of time for keeping my head on straight
Make me promise that I won't go too far
I know I fucked it up I ran out of time for keeping my head on straight
Make me promise that I won't go too far
I know I fucked it up I ran out of time for keeping my head on straight
Make me promise that I won't go
