A Nu Start 02:17
And I try Everyday To love myself In every way And it's been hard Starting from where I was But I've come far It's a new leaf, It's a new start And you're not Like anyone before Cuz you're not Always asking for more And I like that And I like that we couldn't stop laughing Watching TV on your couch And I'm running more And I'm not a mess And I'm proud I'm weighing less And I'm happy In my heart Cuz I love myself It's a new leaf it's a new start
2.
All I want is to be myself And more records on my shelf Cause they make me happy when I'm sad And when I fight with my dad here's the thing about that life It's not worth my time I'm fucking sick and tired of being told to change Not to act that way And here's what to say All I want to do is to paint my nails And Learn more scales So I can jam I'm entirely disinterested in what you want Because I don't care About my hair All of that shit is getting on my nerves I don't know what to do Cuz I'm not good enough for you All I want is to hang with friends Where only sleep marks the end Of the fun that we had So here's to saying "I'm not mad" And putting arguments to bed Most problems are in our head I'm fucking sick and tired of being told to change Not to act that way And here's what to say All I want to do is to paint my nails And Learn more scales So I can jam I'm entirely disinterested in what you want Because I don't care About my hair All of that shit is getting on my nerves I don't know what to do Cuz I'm not good enough for you All I want Is to be myself And records On my shelf I'm fucking sick and tired of being told to change Not to act that way And here's what to say All I want to do is to paint my nails And Learn more scales So I can jam I'm entirely disinterested in what you want Because I don't care About my hair All of that shit is getting on my nerves I don't know what to do Cuz I'm not good enough for you

Sunny Honey 03:09
When I saw you my eyes fell to the floor And I started running for the door Cause I can't handle anymore And I think it's funny That we called each other honey But we only stuck when it was sunny I guess something had to give So someone tell me why im not sad I feel I should be but I'm glad It must have something to do With me being completely over you And I'm sorry if this comes of as mean But I just wanted to see What happiness means to me Cuz I have to think about myself And what it means for my health And to love me before anyone else So someone tell me why im not sad I feel I should be but I'm glad It must have something to do With me being completely over you
4.
Parts of my life are falling apart While parts of my life are just falling place But it seems that all of my life is falling away as I fall from grace Cuz I'm stuck here alone and know none of the songs And All I can think about is where I went wrong And what will my parents think now of me I know that they're anxious but nothing like me My chest is tight and my heart is quick And my brain decides that now's the best time to feel sick So what the fuck is happening, is this just anxiety I guess maybe I'm just starting to see That I'd rather be with you Now or later here or anywhere So give me a time and give me a place Whenever you please, You know I've got time to waste I know that's dramatic but here's what the fact is I'm a romantic and nothing can change that There's no goddamn reason why this would ever work And I know you're afraid that I'm gonna get hurt But laying with you till quarter past 4 On my bedroom floor makes me think it's worth Going through the motions of saying emotions And fucking up everything that we ever had So please don't be mad That I'd rather be with you Now or later here or anywhere

Better 04:08
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 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
6.
Well I'm sorry for what I've done It was never my intention To hurt you at the end I just didn't want to be friends I'm gonna stick To what I said About You and me And being free We both need Time and space To clear our heads And decide on What it means For you and me To go our separate ways Someone tell me what we did wrong So that I can stop writing songs About my mental state The last thing I want is hate from you I don't want to define myself By someone who gives me hell
7.
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?
8.
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
9.
I watched you intently from the corner of my eye As our bodies softly softly collide I wonder what it is that I should do next Is there a right move when there's nothing left I wish that I could understand myself Then maybe I could learn to ask for help I wish someone could tell me what to do Then maybe I could articulate how I feel with you I wonder what's it like to not second guess every move you make And to feel your life is more than than the sum of your mistakes How much of this truly defines me And what's it like to fall asleep before three I wish that I could understand myself Then maybe I could learn to ask for help I wish someone could tell me what to do Then maybe I could articulate how I feel with you We laid in your car and stared at the stars At the point every trouble seemed so far I wish I could love you like I did back then But I guess I need to learn to love myself again I don't wanna have to do that again
10.
The reason I stay clean The only time I don't want to be clean Is when I want to hurt myself I only want to get fucked up to self destruct So fuck me up I guess Fuck myself and smash me to bits I don't have to deal with your shit If I'm unconscious Maybe I'll just sleep outside And Let the rain and cold do it for me Is that was this is Me wanting to die It's all too familiar But I gotta put those thoughts to bed And then put myself to bed Cuz I don't wanna die I wanna live, or at least try

Don't Leave 05:07
And he sat right there when he told me And she stood right there when she told And I laid right here when she told me And I cried right there when they told me Different instances, same result I often wonder, Is this my fault? And why them and not me If this is life, then what the hell could hell ever be? Not seeing you is one thing But losing you would destroy me too Don't leave me Don't leave me here

about

Second LP from Ripoff. Songs written on various occasions over 2 years. Songs recorded in July of 2017. "Good Days & Bad Nights" serves to show the dichotomy of just that, good days and bad nights.. A more concise effort than "Dude. Move On" is assisted by the addition of full-band instrumentation and tighter songwriting.

Thank you to all who have helped me in this process. Thank you to my bandmates in Grapefruit for supporting this endeavor. I honestly would not have been able to produce this final product without everyone being right there with me.

This album is dedicated to the many, many people in my life who deserve an album dedicated to them.
