Paper Hearts 01:21
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
2.
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

Jake Song 04:22
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
8.
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

about

Listen to this when you're alone in your apartment and everything feels far away. Listen to this when you're leaving a party you had a terrible time at. Listen to this when you're in the bathtub thinking about who's really at fault for everything that's gone wrong.

It'll be okay.
