Heartbreak Song

I didn't know what to feel then
Pushed me right into the deep end
I still wanted to be friends
Took all the things that you gave me
Looked past where we didn't agree
Not where I thought I would be
And I wanna take pictures of things that are true
And I wanna write a story that I can escape to
I wanna skate, I wanna paint well
I wanna buy into everything the world sells
And all I wanna do is go outside and breathe air
And use scissors and box-dye to damage my hair
And not sit on my couch waiting to see
What this curious life will throw at me
This is my heartbreak song
This is my heartbreak song
I find myself lost in the noise
Sit back and watch the world destroy
All the things I used to enjoy
Wish there was something to
Get back the feelings I knew
Before I gave them to you
And I wanna get to a place where I can look back
And laugh at the sadness, the desire, all the crap
And not remember all the dull times
Sitting up on my roof, high, and making up rhymes
And just think, wow, I've made it this far
And forget all the moments that made it feel hard
And yes, oh yes, I'd burn all my diaries
And let go of the sadness inside of me
This is my heartbreak song
This is my heartbreak song
And I wanna get to a place where I can look back
And laugh at the sadness, the desire, all the crap
And not remember all the dull times
Sitting up on my roof, high, and making up rhymes
And just think, wow, I've made it this far
And forget all the moments that made it feel hard
And yes, oh yes, I'd burn all my diaries
And let go of the sadness inside of me
This is my heartbreak song
This is my heartbreak song
This is my heartbreak song

Why don't you talk to me just like I want you to
And we can stay up late and laugh just like we always do
I'll keep pretending, just to get close to you
And even with each tough I'll think that you don't have a clue
What can I say? It's all a game
No way to play if you just fake it
Please take my hand, and understand
This wasn't planned, but we can make it
We're wide awake and we're
Making mistakes and we're
Stuck in our phases
Hoping to break them
Whatever's happening is not a concern of mine
I wanna take my time without the need to wonder why
It's all a delusion just so I can get by
Who knows just what would happen if we ever thought to try
What can I say? It's all a game
No way to play if you just fake it
Please take my hand, and understand
This wasn't planned, but we can make it
We're wide awake and we're
Making mistakes and we're
Stuck in our phases
Hoping to break them
We're wide awake and we're
Making mistakes and we're
Stuck in our phases
Hoping to break them
We're wide awake and making mistakes, yeah
Stuck in our phases, hoping to break them
We're wide awake and making mistakes, yeah
Stuck in our phases, hoping to break them
We're wide awake and making mistakes, yeah
Stuck in our phases, hoping to break them
We're wide awake and making mistakes, yeah
Stuck in our phases, hoping to break them

Head Space

My bed feel so empty now and then
But I don't know how I could ever share it
If I've learned anything from what I've done
I take up space with my expectations
I smile and laugh on my worst days
I've never known any other way
I don't speak out when I need to
Rely on myself to get me through
Why do I crave the attention?
Get caught up in the suspension
Romanticize any chance I get
A perspective that has not worked yet
When will gravity give me a break?
A million things stacked up on my plate
I wish I knew less the more I know
Finding a high in letting go

Waiting

I'm spinning, wasting away
In daydreams that are self-made
I know it's time to look in
But I don't know where to begin
Maybe with how I've misbehaved
Never cried myself to sleep
I say that like it's a good thing
Wonder where that sadness went
Maybe it's stuck here unspent
Ready to crash down on me
And I'm lonely
And hoping
To be
And I'm aching
And waiting
To see
I'm starting to understand
It's time to hold my own hand
In a post-teenage headspace
My world is all that I make
Wrapped around things that were unplanned
Don't wanna let someone in
I tell myself I am human
Between the guilt and pity
Don't wanna let this disturb me
Can't let myself think I am ruined
And I'm lonely
And hoping
To be
And I'm aching
And waiting
To see
