Staring at a corner of your apartment Trying to find my bags in the dark I don't do it for you anymore I don't do it for you now I feel dumb leaving a message so long I swear this was better rehearsed in my mind You don’t do it for me anymore You don’t do it for me now When I kiss your lips all I taste is sorrow How long have you thought about how I don’t do it for you anymore I don’t do it for you now And I know that it’s true we’ve been wandering Hacking away without asking why You don’t do it for me anymore You don’t do it for me now Couldn’t show me when you’d hold me That you love me without doubt And are you lonely? ‘Cause I’m lonely Are you ready to breathe out? ‘Cause I don’t do it, no

Best of You 04:19
Fate is a funny thing when It brings you a person you thought you wanted Turn the corner and it upends It left me with nothing but thoughts of running So gimme just a little more light from you I’m folding at the half to make it right with you And even though we’re over This isn’t through I don’t wanna leave here ‘til there’s hope that Maybe in time I’ll know I got the best of you ‘Cause maybe sometimes I think I was the best of you Maybe in time I’ll know I got the best of you ‘Cause maybe sometimes I think Now you’ll become a stranger Like maybe we were just some long illusion That doesn’t mean I haven’t lingered On every moment and every emotion So gimme just a little more love from you I’m holding onto someone I thought I knew But every day you show me that that’s not true And I don’t wanna leave here ‘til there’s hope that Maybe in time I’ll know I got the best of you ‘Cause maybe sometimes I think I was the best of you Maybe in time I’ll know I got the best of you ‘Cause maybe sometimes I think Don’t leave it waiting I am begging Don’t hold out on me now Maybe in time I’ll know I got the best of you ‘Cause maybe sometimes I think I was the best of you Maybe in time I’ll know I got the best of you ‘Cause maybe sometimes I think I was the best of you

Imagining It 03:48
All of the places we could go All of the thoughts you’ll never know If I spend my nights awake alone That first time I held those eyes I felt like I belonged Now every second leaves me a mess and I need to feel you in my arms I just want to win your heart And I’m falling deeper Like something that could never stop But every time I’ve tried to start I’m more in my own way All of the places we could go All of the thoughts you’ll never know If I spend my nights awake alone Imagining it, like I know that you could take me far There in the morning, then the dark Picture it as it comes apart Imagining it, yeah Spend my days trying to lock it away But nothing’s gonna change When our hands brush I feel a spark So in love I shouldn’t talk Could you ever think of me the same? ‘Cause I just want to win your heart And I’m falling deeper Like something that could never stop (Something about you) But every time I have tried I fail to start I’m more in my own way (Wish I could say) All of the places we could go All of the thoughts you’ll never know If I spend my nights awake alone Imagining it, like I know that you could take me far There in the morning, then the dark Picture it as I come apart Imagining it, like I just want to win your heart (Your heart, your heart, your heart, your heart) I just want to win your heart (All of the places we could go, all of the places we could go) All of the places we could go All of the thoughts you’ll never know If I spend my nights awake alone Imagining it, like All of the places we could go All of the places we could go All of the places we could go All of the places we could go

I'd Be Happy 03:29
Basically I am tired And now the cracks are starting to show Faced with all this promise I won’t let me get to know When you asked if you could come over I should have said, “Maybe it’s too late” And I want you badly But I’d be happy To watch you walk away Against my wishes I let you in So close over cheap boxed wine And I still feel the pressure From where you pressed your lips onto mine Just one kiss and man I was plastered Not from the drink But the way you held my face And I want you badly But I’d be happy To watch you walk away I will mess this up I can’t trust myself To know how much to love Whatever you think is there Won’t last long enough I still feel your lips As if they were robbed from me And though I want you badly I think I’d be happy To watch you walk away

Caught Up 04:25
Some people you’ll just never know Open a door they never show You said my heart was just like a telescope That searched far and wide Only you in mind Held on close right to your side Built it all up while my energy dried ‘Til I woke up, dizzy and half alive And I’m not sure why I got so Caught up in your rung Even when it stung I thought it was love Crawled out of it Then came back again All I felt was numb So when I hear you now I turn it down Take things as they come ‘Cause I thought it was love Woke up this morning, wasn’t sad Finally feel like I’ve got on track But there’s still a weight in my bedroom, it reminds me that There are a few things that I’ll need to give back House keys burn the inside of my palm I’m not sure I want you to be home But seeing the light in your window makes me feel alone And I’m not sure why I ever got so Caught up in your rung Even when it stung I thought it was love Crawled out of it Then came back again All I felt was numb So when I hear you now I turn it down Take things as they come ‘Cause I thought it was love (I thought it was love Never saw me Never heard me) Never saw me Never heard me I grew hoarse calling out your name Always coming up empty Maybe it’s better this way Maybe it's better this way

Your Loser 02:39
I don’t do anything right I don’t do anything For you Came home late ‘cause I got in a fight I don’t do anything right For you Maybe I’m just your loser But I’ll listen to the ‘your’ part Maybe it’s hard to swallow But I think you’re meant for my heart So tell me which way I’m going To follow your love that’s bound To sweep me up and swing me around To sweep me up and swing me around Clean me up, put us to bed You clean me up, I remember you said it’s For you
