I probably shouldn't be writing these songs
Because if you could here them it'd be quite embarrassing
I guess that's on me, I had the choice
But to keep them locked up seems quite unhealthy
Forget it then listen at will
After all they're what I've been meaning to say
I wrote quite directly, no metaphors here
But you know what they say "whatever, forever"

What Happened?

did it matter at all to you
the nights we stayed up late just talking
can you recall any of it
any of the moments that we shared
because it ended in an instant
what the hell happened
no warning, no fight, no explanation
what the hell happened
did you mean any of it
were they all just hollow words
how can i tell if it was real
or if i just wasted your time
because it ended in an instant
what the hell happened
no warning, no fight, no explanation
what the hell happened
i feel as though i'm overthinking
maybe i should just let it go
but then again my hearts still sinking
further into nothingness
because it ended in an instant
what the hell happened
no warning, no fight, no explanation
what the hell happened
the only thing i want to know is
what the fuck happened
i guess what i'm asking is
was i just another name on your list
do i want to know this?

Today I woke up and did the same thing I always do
Fall out of bed and get yelled at, right on cue
Wash up, get dressed, and head out
You'd better get the lead out
Another day the same as the last
It feels like yesterday we were playing on the playground
Oh shit, that was years ago
Well I wish that we could live without dealing with real life
cuz responsibility is killing me
I fell asleep in the middle of english class
And then I dreamed about when this time would pass
It really numbs my mind, to be sitting here wasting time
I'd rather be...doing literally anything else
It feels like yesterday we were playing on the playground
Oh shit, that was years ago
Well I wish that we could live without dealing with real life
cuz responsibility is killing me

i reread your letters
it took me back to a time
when things were diffferent, i remember your smile
the words that you wrote echo in my head
the fact that they're cliche doesn't keep them from hurting
and do you still mean them
all that you wrote and
would you still have me back, do your words still stand?
did you want it to end like this
I wish we were still connected in someway
I wish we were still best friends, I wish were still just friends
I wish I could talk to you, like I did before
You were the person I turned to
but now we dont talk anymore
i wish it hadn't ended this way
did you want it to end like this

Well you really fucked me up
I have every reason to hate you
But every time that anger boils up
The good times hit me like 10 ton truck
Why did everything have to change
We could've stayed right here
We could've laid right here
But you had to open up your mouth
And ruin what could've been
I tried to look past all your flaws
But certain things just didn't sit right
I'd lay in bed and stare at the wall
Just hoping you wouldn't call
Why did everything have to change
We could've stayed right here
We could've laid right here
But you had to open up your mouth
And ruin what could've been
I'm glad things ended when they did
Things were getting worse and fast
That's not stay it didn't matter
It just didn't last
Well I can't look you in the face
Due to anger or something else
It may not have been much to you
But it meant a whole lot to me

(Don't) Stay Home
02:48

I limited myself in who my friends were
I didn't let myself outside my comfort zone
Well that all changed when I said 'yes'
I had the best time of my life
I didn't know what was possible
If I just let go of my hindrances and let loose
I don't have to stay home
For years I wallowed in complacency
Under the impression no one liked me
I came to find that's just not true
I was in fact block myself from view
[spoken word]
I didn't know what was possible
If I just let go of my hindrances and let loose
I don't have to stay home
I don't have to stay home

Hold on is what I tell myself
Fuck Me, I have nothing left
Fuck You, you brought me here
Fuck that, I brought this on myself
Now I have to live with this
Call Me, so we can talk
Scratch that, best leave it unsaid
I must get over this
Move on with out you
Well I'd better get to moving on
For my mistakes I do apologize
I'm leaving now, I'll see you around
Is this what closure feels like?

I've been sitting here waiting on someone
To come around and make it all better
expecting somebody
to show up soon
Everything else seems to be fixed
i'm just waiting for someone to share it with
is it possible it's something to do with me
why can't it be like the last time
where it just happened
i want it to happen
i have realized
that it can't just happen
you need to make it happen
they say "you can't expect love to walk through the door"
that's what meeting new people is for
but i don't want to get hurt
they say "you gotta get yourself out there"
well myself is really quite annoying
its understandable that i'm alone
why can't it be like the last time
where it just happened
i want it to happen
i have realized
that it can't just happen
you need to make it happen
--fuck--
i'm tired of making up excuses
its my fault that i haven't moved forward
im holding myslef back
so here's to getting on with my life
i hope the next song is a lot fucking happier
i am moving on
