iâm doing good, iâm on some new shit.
i thought Iâ
sawâ
you at theâ
bus stop
the greatest films of all time were never made
if you wanted me, you really shouldâve showed
we were something, donât you think so?
if my wishes came true, it wouldâve been you
in my defense, i have none for never leaving well enough alone
it wouldâve been fun if you wouldâve been the one
you know the greatest loves of all time are over nowÂ
if one thing had been different would everything be different today?Â
when you are young, they assume you knowâ
nothingÂ
i felt like I was an old cardiganÂ
a friend to all is a friend to noneÂ
to kiss in cars and downtown bars was all we neededÂ
you drew stars around my scars but now Iâm bleedin'Â
i knew youâd haunt all of my what-ifsÂ
cause i knew everything when I was young
i knew iâd curse you for the longest timeÂ
i knew youâd miss me once the thrill expired and youâd be standinâ in my front porch lightÂ
i knew youâd come back to meÂ
the wedding wasâcharming, if a little gauche
there goes the maddest woman this town has ever seenÂ
who knows, if she never showed up, what couldâve beenÂ
she had a marvelous time ruining everythingÂ
there goes the most shameless woman this town has ever seenÂ
i had a marvelous time ruining everythingÂ
i can see you standing, honey, with his arms around your bodyÂ
itâ
took you five whole minutes to packâ
us up and leave me with it
you were my town, now Iâm in exileÂ
i can see you starinâ, honey, like heâs just your understudyÂ
Iâm not your problem anymore, so who am i offending now?Â
there is no amount of crying i can do for youÂ
you didnât even hear me out
you didnât even see the signsÂ
cause you never gave a warning signÂ
if Iâm on fire,â
you'llâ
be made ofâ
ashes, tooÂ
even on my worst day,â
did i deserve, babe, all the hell you gave me?Â
cause iâlovedâyou, i swear iâloved you til myâdying dayÂ
i didnât have it in myself to go with graceÂ
if Iâm dead to you, why are you at the wake?Â
you wear the same jewels that i gave you as you bury meÂ
you know i didnât want to have to haunt youÂ
when iâd fight, you used to tell me i was braveÂ
and i can go anywhere i want just not homeÂ
you can aim for my heart, go for blood but you would still miss me in your bonesÂ
you had to kill me, but it killed you just the sameÂ
iâll show you every version of yourself tonightÂ
i want you to know iâm a mirrorball, i can change everything about me to fit inÂ
iâm still a believer, but i donât know whyÂ
are there still beautiful things?Â
and though i canât recall your face i still got love for youÂ
love you to the moon and to saturnÂ
i think your house is haunted. your dad is always mad and that must be whyÂ
i think you should come live with meÂ
neverâ
have i everâ
before
will you call when youâre back at school?
i remember thinkinâ i had youÂ
for me, it was enough to live for the hope of it allÂ
you werenât mine to lose
i can see us twisted in bed sheetsÂ
iâve been having a hard time adjustingÂ
i didn'tâ
knowâ
if youâd careâ
if i came backÂ
i just wanted you to know that this is me tryingÂ
pulled the car off the road to the lookout, couldâve followed my fears all the way downÂ
they told me all of my cages were mental, so i got wasted like all my potentialÂ
my words shoot to kill when iâm mad, i have a lot of regrets about thatÂ
itâs hard to be at a party when i feel like an open woundÂ
thatâs the thing about illicit affairs and clandestine meetings and longing stares, itâs born from just one single glance but it dies a million little times
you showed me colors you know i canât see with anyone elseÂ
donât call me âkid,â
donât call me âbabyâ
you taught me a secret language i canât speak with anyone elseÂ
you know damn well, for you, i would ruin myself a million little timesÂ
were there clues i didnât see?Â
isnât it just so pretty to think all along there was some invisible string, tying you to me?
time cutting me open, then healing me fineÂ
what did you think iâd say to that?Â
every time you call me crazy, i get more crazyÂ
when you say i seem angry, i get more angryÂ
itâs obvious that wanting me dead has really brought you two togetherÂ
iâm taking my time cause you took everything from meÂ
sir, i thinkâ
heâs bleeding out
you dream of some epiphany, just one single glimpse of relief to make some sense of what youâve seenÂ
doc, i think sheâs crashing out
some things you just canât speak aboutÂ
i wonât make assumptions about why you switched your homeroom but i think itâs âcause ofâ
meÂ
the worst thing that i ever did was what i did to youÂ
would you trust me if i told you it was just a summer thing?Â
i donât know anything but i know i miss youÂ
if i just showed up at your party, would you have me?Â
our coming-of-age has come and goneÂ
i never had the courage ofâ
myâ
convictionsÂ
i could neverâgiveâyouâpeaceÂ
iâm aâfire and i'llâkeep your brittle heart warm if your cascade, ocean wave blues comeÂ
all these people think loveâs for show but i would die for you in secretÂ
would it be enough if i could never give you peace?Â
your integrity makes me seem smallÂ
iâd give you my sunshine, give you my best but the rain is always gonna come if youâre standinâ with meÂ
you know i left a part of me back in new yorkÂ
you knew the hero died so whatâs the movie for?Â
darling, this was just as hard as when they pulled me apartÂ
donât want no other shade of blue but you. no other sadness in the world would doÂ
 i donât belong and,âmyâbeloved,âneither do youÂ
Is it romantic how all my elegies eulogize me?Â
thoseâwindermere peaks lookâlike a perfect place to cryÂ
take me to the lakesâ
where all the poets went to dieÂ
iâve come too far to watch some namedropping sleaze tell me what are my words worthÂ
i havenât moved in yearsÂ
i want to watch wisteria growÂ
iâm setting off, but not without my muse
iâm setting off, but not without you
