You say I play the victim I say I didn’t have an option And I hear your running around town With my best friend You said that you were drunk It was all his fault And I believed what you said But how can you expect me to ever trust anyone again And every day I contemplate If I dodged a bullet Or if you’re the one who got away Now Im moving forward And you just moved on It didn’t take you long to run into his arms You’re so dependent Its so pathetic So why do I care at all And this apartment is colder than before And Ive been burning bridges to the ground Just trying to stay warm But I’m dead DEAD On the inside Im barely breathing Hardly alive When you said YOU SAID This won't work out We need to grow apart It’s just to hard to stay friends I couldn't believe what you said But I know what you meant and its true Sometimes I still feel like I know you Like nothing has changed Sometimes I still picture us laughing Even though youre not in the frame And I know It wasn’t perfect I tried so hard to make it MAKE THIS WORK But in the end somethings just fall apart When will I be the one worth fighting for Now Im moving forward And you just moved on It didn’t take you long to run into his arms You’re so dependent Its so pathetic So why do I care at all

I’ve been thinking about the East Coast And I’ve been losing sleep There was a time when you meant so much more So much more to me But now I hear from everyone The shit you talk now that we’re done It seems you got a lot to say But its over now and your words they don’t mean anything But you forgot There are two sides to every story Ill believe mine And you believe yours That’s why we don’t talk anymore I don’t have the strength To pull these knives out of my back My hands can’t reach the handles The blades are stuck in their targets And I’ve been knocked down for so so long The footprints on the back of my shirt Are just reminders you moved on But you forgot There are two sides to every story Ill believe mine You believe yours That’s why we don’t talk anymore I admit my mistakes But I can’t blame myself for everything When everyone knows the truth And were off and on again Is this real or just pretend Was this all part of your plan Cause I never stood a chance But you forgot JUST ONE LITTLE THING But you forgot There are two sides to every story Ill believe mine You believe yours That’s why we don’t talk anymore I cant pretend Youre not with him Tonight in his bed And that’s why we don’t talk anymore

I'm tired of picking myself up Every time I get knocked down I can't keep falling to pieces Every time I see you around And all of your new friends Are twenty five and bartend And Alex says That it's no coincidence My heart needs some rest I've spent too many nights awake and days in bed And I'm dying to know if I'll ever get better Cause I confess I just want to forget her I never thought I would lose my best friend But you know together We're poison And the holidays are the worst for me I wish I could hear your voice On Christmas or my birthday And I keep dwelling on shit I can't control It's not helping at all To think you're happier alone Or with him My heart needs some rest I've spent to many nights awake and days in bed And I'm dying to know if I'll ever get better Cause I confess I'm still in love with her I never thought I would lose my best friend But you know together We're poison She said this won't work out We need to grow apart It's just too hard to stay friends And I can't believe this is the end Maybe one day I'll understand Girls like you are a dime a dozen

Rebuild 03:05
We haven't talked in months I'm debating if I should pick the phone up But whats really left to say If you're not listening And every night I pray for rain To wash these memories away The love is gone but not the pain I have to remind myself I played house I burnt out Watched what we built all fall to the ground I'm standing on my own And its gonna take some time I relate so well To concrete and these books on my shelf Buried and judged, with no reason To ever open up again I can't fake a smile when I feel dead With no heartbeat, A skeleton A ghost of a just a broken man I have to remind myself I played house I burnt out Watched what we built all fall to the ground I'm standing on my own And its gonna take some time To rebuild this mess Underneath this chest This muscles torn, a strain at best Yeah At least I'm being honest with myself I have to remind myself That you're just a kid With no idea what love is I'm sorry but I'm being honest I admit I was wrong and selfish But you won't own up to your mistakes You won't own up to your mistakes

I haven’t seen you in a while But I’ve heard a lot of things I guess we both have changed If somehow I calm down And maybe you grow up Would it be to late to save our love Well I’ve spent this time apart Bettering myself And you’re still at your parent’s house High off drugs and someone else yeah You call that moving forward I’ve left the past where it belongs And with each step I take It’s still a struggle to move on So save your apologies Cause I’m not listening And they’re not worth a thing to me Your excuses are excused For once tell me the truth I can handle it I promise And I’m still broken but at least I’m honest And the last words that you said to me Will never leave my head completely (I love you) They broke me down but I figured out How to stop feeling sorry for myself And it took a year to get over this shit I learned you can’t depend on someone else for your own happiness But I’ll always remember Spending summers at the beach The subway stops like Kings Cross Holding hands during take offs The things Ill miss the most So save (so save) your apologies Cause I’m not listening And they’re not worth a thing to me So save your apologies Cause I’m not listening ( I can handle this I promise) And they’re not worth a thing to me Your excuses are excused For once tell me the truth For once tell me the truth I can handle it I promise And I’m still broken but at least I’m honest This horse is already dead I’ll beat myself up instead You said, “If we go down…” But you’re not around There’s no use trying to pretend That we will work out in the end I’m just a man made out of tin I’m just a man made out of tin This horse is already dead I’ll beat myself up instead You said, “If we go down…” Im going down swinging This horse is already dead I’ll beat myself up instead You said, “If we go down…” But you’re not around There’s no use trying to pretend That we will work out in the end I’m just a man made out of tin IM JUST A MAN MADE OUT OF TIN

Stitches 04:12
I’ve spent the last few nights awake Quite literally Lost on this road Cause without you I can’t seem to find home These nightmares have a hold on me The fact that you're leaving and Im still screaming Waking up in a cold sweat I can’t accept that you’re not coming back I know that you tried your best to bury what you couldn’t forget So pull out the stiches if they’re uncomfortable Cause I know how it feels to be completely lost in love I’ve lost sight of my north star You’re no longer on my charts I’m drifting aimlessly Out to sea But I’m still kicking Cause I know one day Someone will find me Even if right now Its impossible to see I can’t accept that you’re not coming back I know that you tried your best to bury what you couldn’t forget So pull out the stiches if they’re uncomfortable I know how it feels to be completely lost in love It feels like I'm lost in hell How long Does it take to move on And for my hands to stop shaking? When will I stop breaking down? This is goodbye This is me saying I’m sorry And fuck you at the same time For the last time I am the rain and you are the sun And it’s pouring down Watch me fall Watch me fall I am the rain and you are the sun and its pouring down

This is the last sad song I’ll ever write These are the words racing through my head before I go to bed at night But now I have paper Now I can structure And take my time Erase the words that seem absurd And focus on the punch lines Cause we’ve been hitting below the belt I'm wishing that I could just tap out And I wish I could forget Instead I have to accept That you wont miss me at all And our first kiss The promises don’t mean anything and you’ll Turn the other cheek So you can forget about me Im glad you found someone who makes you happy And all this time I’ve spent alone Watching you love birds with this stone So go on go on I see you’re hanging on his arm But I know that’s not where your heart belongs Are you sleeping in his bed Using his chest as a pillow for your head I'd expect nothing less I thought I was through the worst of it We’ve been back and forth so long I think its time that I move on And I wish I could forget Instead I have to accept That you wont miss me at all And our first kiss The promises don’t mean anything and you’ll Turn the other cheek So you can forget about me Im glad you found someone who makes you happy And all this time I’ve spent alone Watching you love birds with this stone Maybe one day The tides will change And bring you back to me Or is that just wishful thinking And you wont miss me AT ALL
9.
Our break up was like broken bones Your x-rays show you'll need crutches And I won't know their names But that doesn't matter anyway Cause my hearts been torn out To know I've been replaced And every time I see you now You have this Smile on your face I've never seen before It seems like I've been holding you back When I should be letting go It never rains in San Diego But when it does it pours on me And we'll float away Like clouds after the rain I'd do anything to get you back to me And our relationship was like the movies I thought it was like The Notebook Cause even though we fought all the time I knew our love would never die But I guess you thought more 500 Days Of Summer So quick to forget me Thinking you found someone better in the bar scene I'll be waiting on my boat Watching the ducks migrate alone It never rains in San Diego But when it does it pours on me And we'll float away Like clouds after the rain I'd do anything to get you back to me Allen: [drunk] I don't ask that much do I ? I don't ask to be famous, I don't ask to be rich and I don't ask to play center field for the New York Yankees or anything. I just want to meet a woman, I want to meet a woman and I want to fall in love. And I want to get married and I want to have a kid, and I want to go see him play a tooth in the school play! Its not much. But I'm kidding myself this is never going to happen. Im going to grow old and Im going to grow lonely and I'm going to die" The seasons never change in San Diego Im not flying away this fall I'm not getting any sleep I'm not getting any better I'm not getting out of bed I'll just blame it on the weather Cause the seasons never change in San Diego
