Paper Hearts

Convince me that you have changed
I can't go on like this
Missing all those broken hearts
We traded back in kindergarten
Tell me your spooky stories
That once kept me awake
Tell me that you're not the same
But you told me you'd never change
I remember all of your excuses
How it's not your fault that she controlled your heart
She cheated you away, and now you want to stay
But I don't think that I could forgive you anyway

Part of the Problem
02:27

I can't watch you fuck up for the hundredth time this year
I'll stop writing you poems that you don't want to hear
And it's fine if we take our time
To go over what we want because I don't think it's the same
You think that you're in love with me but know I'm just a name
To call when your drunk, or just bored at home
So have a couple drinks and you can yell at me
Bout nothing in particular, you just want to scream
Because nothing's felt quite right since you were seventeen
And I'm just part of the problem, or at least that's how it seems
Because I'm talking way too much, or I'm not talking enough
And I'm laughing over nothing, and my jokes they just all suck
And I know we're not exclusive but I don't know what that means
When you're mad at all my friends cause you think that they're in love with me

It's six a.m. on the California coast
I'm laughing and I'm crying at your call from Ohio
And I've been questioning if I can make it through the year
You say it's fine no need to fear every dead end
You and I have grown into one soul
And you can't see the places you will go
So why should I?
You give your love without a trace of shame
You are beautiful and fragile, oh my love you're not to blame
For those dressed up leeches who will drain your poems dry
Trading rings for debts, goodbyes, and leaving scars
If I could I'd take back everything they stole
Put it back together, cracked but whole
I still might try
Cause you are so much more
Than enough for me
And you are made of stars
You host galaxies
I know you fear that ghost is still your muse
But you are hurt and this is healing, it takes time to shake abuse
My love, I'll pull you closer, give my heart up as a shield
I'll never run, I'll never yield until your safe
Cause you are so much more
Than enough for me
And you have all my life
And my love, endlessly

Sorry.
03:35
|

I'm sorry, I'm sorry I couldn't do better
I'm sorry, I'm sorry I failed you again
And I know you don't mean it, I swear you can't mean it
Cause what would I do without my best friend
And I know that you've said it a million times
But I know you don't really think that it's fine
And want you to see it, please just believe it
Maybe if I stay here I can just die
And I know it's not your fault, maybe it's just mine
And I know it's not my fault, maybe it's just time
These things they just happen, how'd I let this happen?
Everything is just replaying in my mind
But you must've said something, didn't you?
All those things that meant nothing, what did they to you?
But I can't turn back time and you don't want me to
This life that we live, I guess you outgrew
You're hurting, you're hurting but you won't tell no one
You're hurting, you're hurting it's eating you up
These pills that you found you just choke them down
But won't take the ones that just help you out
There's bottles in drawers next to your bed
Those thoughts that you have won't get out of you head
You're making the call, prepare for the fall
Delegate time to pray for it all
Just to end, end, end for a while
Just to end, end, end for a while
Can't you see, see we're here for you now
Can't you see see it's too late for us now
But you must've said something, didn't you?
All those things that meant nothing, what did they to you?
But I can't turn back time and you don't want me to
This life that we live, I guess you outgrew
Funerals, they weren't your scene
Far too sad, far too sad
And black was never your color
Far too bright, you're far too bright
But you must've said something, didn't you?
All those things that meant nothing, what did they to you?
But I can't turn back time and you don't want me to
This life that we live, I guess you
You must've said something, didn't you?
All those things that meant nothing, what did they to you?
But I can't turn back time and you don't want me to
This life that we live, I guess you outgrew

You can make the bed when we get up this morning
I'll give you a call when I get out of work
We'll plan on dinner, the same as we always get
A bottle of wine since you know that I like it
And letting someone in, I know that it's scary
But nothing feels scary when I'm lying with you
So put on a record, that one that we've worn out
We'll whip up some pancakes at 12:45
And waltz through the kitchen, off time to the music
Then head off the dreamland with a mess on the floor
And letting someone in, I know that it's scary
But nothing feels scary when I'm lying with you
It's cute how you eat cheerios drowned in orange juice
I like how your laundry's all over our floor
It's weird I don't remember how it felt before you met me
Isn't it funny how we're still growing into ourselves
And letting someone in, I know that it's scary
But nothing feels scary when I'm lying with you

Pity Party
04:42
|
|||
I am so average
I'm anxious, but who isn't?
And I don't feel healthy
But who am I to complain?
I'm so forgetful
But that's not excuse for all my mistakes
Maybe if I stop this pity party
I might be worth something, I might be worth something
I'm losing sight of all that I thought that I was
We make a mess of the hearts across the world
It's conditional, it's breakable, it's old
We never learned how forgiveness really looks
It's irrational saying it's bearable letting it go
I feel so guilty trying to be good
I'll know I'm lying when I start to earn your love
I'm playing hearts, passing off cards I don't want to keep
You'll take the loss with a simple smile cause this might be worth something, this might be worth something
You're losing sight of all that you thought that you want
We make a mess of the hearts across the world
It's conditional, it's breakable, it's old
We never learned how forgiveness really looks
It's irrational saying it's bearable letting it go
(Letting it go)

Take Me
02:27
|

When I told you I was leaving before morning
I thought you knew, I thought you knew
When I told you I was intoxicated by your breath
I thought you knew, I thought you knew
I was so scared of being alone
I let you in my bed, I let you in my head
But you can take me anyway you want to
You can take me anyways you want
You can take me anyway you want to
Well you'll just take me anyway you want
When I told you I was missing someone else
I thought you knew, I thought you knew
When I told you, this makes me hate myself
I thought you knew, I thought you knew
I was so scared of being alone
I let you in my bed, I let you in my head
But you can take me anyway you want to
You can take me anyways you want
You can take me anyway you want to
Well you'll just take me anyway you want

I'm Okay//I'll Be Okay
04:18
|

I've written songs about hating myself
I've written songs about being quiet
I've written songs about girls and boys
Well I hope I've grown out of that
Maybe I'll make the best of this, maybe I'll make the best of this
But it's not looking good is it?
Maybe I'll find some confidence, maybe I'll build up a nerve
Well we'll see, we will see
But i'm okay like this
I'm okay like this
I swear
I've gotten used to spending nights alone
I've gotten used to kind of liking it
I got back into all my favorite comic books
I got back into all the best video games
So I'm okay like this
I'm okay like this
I swear
Maybe I'll be brave
Maybe I'll be brave
Someday
Maybe I'll be brave
Maybe I'll be brave
Someday
I'm okay like this
I'm okay like this
I swear
I'm okay like this
I'm okay like this
I swear
I'm okay like this
I'm okay like this
I swear

Not Real
05:20
|
|||
You're in my head again
I wish you would leave
You're setting unrealistic
Expectations for everyone I meet
I know that you're not real
But sometimes it feels like you are
In my head
In my head
But I bet you smell like
Daisies and summer nights
And I bet you feel like
Blankets and pillow cases
I bet you taste like
Honey sticks and final bites
And I bet you sound like
Major chords and vinyl record
You gotta get out of my head
I gotta grow up
Sometimes I like to believe
That you are really walking among us
And maybe I'll meet you someday
In a coffee shop or something
We can hang out and we an make out
Nobody else would me a thing
But I bet you smell like
Daisies and summer nights
And I bet you feel like
Blankets and pillow cases
I bet you taste like
Honey sticks and final bites
And I bet you sound like
Major chords and vinyl record
