starters from the 2023 sleep theory EP , 'paper hearts' .
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ .
โ do you remember how it felt each time you looked at me ? โ
โ you hated what you see . . . or maybe you just hated everything . โ
โ i never told you ; it's a feeling i remember too . โ
โ let me go , i can't take this . โ
โ let me leave you in pieces . โ
โ took me too long to see this . โ
โ who i am got buried beneath it . โ
โ you tried to sneak around and play my insecurities . โ
โ you always knew what made me weak . โ
โ now it's you that second guesses everything you knew . โ
โ i'm the one who's playing you . โ
๐๐๐๐๐๐ .
โ i don't know where to start this . โ
โ i'm hitting a wall ; it's the hardest thing . โ
โ i can't seem to get to you . โ
โ i'm running low on my options . โ
โ you always speak , but you never listen . โ
โ shut your mouth , 'cause you talk too much . โ
โ i cut you off 'cause i've had enough . โ
โ kill the noise and listen . โ
โ look what you've become . โ
โ should've learned when i called your bluff . โ
โ every lie got back to me . โ
โ now everybody sees you the way you tried to see me . โ
โ loose lips and your ship is sinking . โ
โ you're out of line and you're out of touch . โ
โ watch your step , 'cause the ice is shrinking . โ
โ fall back , 'cause you talk too much . โ
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ .
โ i can feel it when you come around . โ
โ you can say a lot but never make a sound . โ
โ even with a look i know what's going down . โ
โ save us both some time and just say it . โ
โ you never let me know when something changed . โ
โ you made a fool of me and i'm to blame . โ
โ i'll lay the past to rest and forget your name . โ
โ you let me think that we were okay . โ
โ i guess you knew that i'd get in the way . โ
โ listen to me ; i'm not about to believe that i lost everything . โ
โ if it's the end , you better know it's the end . โ
โ i remember the words you never had to say . โ
๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ .
โ i know i shouldn't call you , but it's raining . โ
โ you keep saying that you're all alone . โ
โ i ain't with these games you keep on playing . โ
โ you gone or staying ? โ
โ make up your mind or let me go . โ
โ you hide it well but i can tell by the look in your eyes . โ
โ you were falling to pieces . โ
โ with a glance you let me dance with your greatest disguise . โ
โ it's leaving me sleepless . โ
โ back and forth you push and pull me . โ
โ i get lost in what we should be . โ
โ if stars aligned , we would be fine . โ
โ i stand here just to fight for nothing . โ
โ i don't know if it's all been me . . . or someone else pulling at my strings . โ
โ i'm living every day like it's on repeat . โ
โ i'm stuck in place as the walls close in . โ
โ i'm plotting out my escape again . โ
โ i'm crawling my way from a prison cell . โ
โ no one can save me but myself . โ
โ i know there's something more that i'm missing . โ
โ i'm staring right into the sun looking for the ending before it's begun . โ
โ i just need a reason to bleed . โ
โ it feels like my heart's going numb . โ
โ it's pushing my back up against the wall . โ
โ it's hard enough just to feel alive . โ
โ i need a way out , but i'm out of time . โ
โ i know there's something holding me here at the bottom . โ
โ kaleidoscope visions invade my mind . โ
โ turn the lights out as it fades to black now . โ
โ i can't breathe ; help me crawl my way back out . โ
โ this silence keeps screaming so loud . โ
๐๐'๐ ๐๐๐๐ .
โ that's just how it's gotta be . โ
โ i'm letting you go ; you're no longer tied to me . โ
โ my moment of truth was the moment you lied to me . โ
โ never thought you'd see me there . โ
โ these voices echo everywhere when you're alone . โ
โ every sign in front of me is becoming clear . โ
โ this pain begins to leave and it's over . โ
โ i didn't see it before , but now it's all i can see . โ
โ i fell to the floor just like i fell for everything . โ
โ i'm not afraid to say i'll be okay here on my own . โ
โ someone else can come and take me home . โ
โ there's nothing left to say . โ
โ i think it's time for you to go . โ
โ i won't see your tears ; you can keep them all . โ
โ if it's what it takes , then i'll leave this town . โ
โ i can start again if you're not around . โ
