I loved the pleasure of your company Everything was okay when your hands were there to comfort me And I know that after all I put you through The pleasure of my absence was the least that I could give to you I got swept away in your oceans You told stinging truths, and woah, they left me swollen And I know you never meant to injure me So I reached for your hands but your fingers were too slippery So can we take it from the top Before I take the blame I wasn't what you thought I was Oh, what a shame I put my trust in you, in you So can we take it from the top Before I take the blame I wasn't what you thought I was Oh, what a shame I put my trust in you And you let me down You let me down I know I gave you a fair warning It never stopped you all those we stayed up 'til six in the morning And at first you hesitated, fingers hovering But of course, I let you in when you wanted to discover me Before I take the blame I wasn't what you thought I was Oh, what a shame I put my trust in you And you let me down You let me down

I wanna write a song that hurts you like you hurt me I wanna write a song that makes you feel ugly and unworthy I wanna write a song that fills you with anxiety And if you never sleep another night, well, that's alright with me I could be anything that you want (x6) I wanna write a song about the way you left me I wanna write a song that's inconsolable and messy And I wanna write a song about the way you looked at me The first time I woke up on you shoulder, I was so happy I could be anything that you want (x6) When you said you had to leave me 'Cause you would never need me Like I need you Like I need everyone I felt my emotions Overwhelm the moment Have you ever felt everything, everything, everything all at once? I felt everything all at once I could be anything that you want (x3)

Repetitive 03:45
He says he lives for words Words will be the death of me They take me down with their accuracy and pierce me like a bullet I wanna hear Oh, Oh, Oh I don’t wanna learn new things I just wanna forget all the things I already know with that Oh, Oh, Oh I don’t wanna feel real things I just wanna forget who I am, forget that I’m hollow I like soft things, I like sweet things But I’m a bite your nails down the skin and let ‘em bleed thing I like nice things, I like clean things But I’m a hold your breath until your lungs begin to scream thing Cliches soothe me, Bass lines move me Empty words are wonderfully coma inducing Don’t wanna hear my heart beat, turn up the drum machine Don’t wanna hear myself think, I wanna hear ‘em sing Oh, Oh,Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, I wanna sing with the chorus forget that I’m alone (x2) I used to live for words When I was in love with poetry But now the lull of simplicity is just the way I like it My edges are so rough Rougher than I ever thought they’d be But synthetic sounds can soften me Like a force of erosion, void of emotion I like soft things, I like sweet things But I’m a bite your nails down the skin and let ‘em bleed thing I like nice things, I like clean things But I’m a hold your breath until your lungs begin to scream thing Cliches soothe me, Bass lines move me Empty words are wonderfully coma inducing Don’t wanna hear my heart beat, turn up the drum machine Don’t wanna hear myself think, I wanna hear ‘em sing Oh, Oh,Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, I wanna sing with the chorus It’s better if it’s repetitive, it’s repetitive, it’s repeti-teti-tetive (x3)

Lullaby 02:47
You're such a sweetheart But you're still your father's daughter You're always drowning Even in the calmest waters I know it keeps you up at night So I wrote you a lullaby 'Cause if you can't sleep I can't sleep You're a romantic But the way you love is reckless You wear emotion the way some girls wear a necklace You're tired from those lows and highs So I wrote you a lullaby 'Cause if you can't sleep I can't sleep The doctors said your head is full of dirty rotten chemicals That keep you up all through the night No lullaby could set this right But I'm gonna try You're just a dreamer And I know you only mean well You lost your way and Put everybody through hell So now it's time to close your eyes And sing yourself a lullaby 'Cause if you can't sleep I can't sleep

It's hard to keep a straight face 'Cause god we're such a cliché We can't seem to find our way home If we called the doctors Would they put us back together Or would they say we're better off alone I'm not alright 'Cause I don't know who's good and who's got Good intentions But I'll be fine So won't you tell me it's okay and give up your pretentious I'm not broken, I'm not broken, you can't fix me, I'm not broken I'm not broken, I'm not broken, you can't fix me, I'm not broken I don't know what you've been told, but I've got style and I've got soul I don't know what you've been told, but I've got style and I've got soul The girls out on the street, they've got ground beneath their feet It doesn't mean their heads aren't in the clouds Please don't tell me that I'm strange And that no one acts this way Don't you see, you're shouting all my fears out loud Don't forget when we first met and I was something so brand new And don't ignore no matter how I fall apart I pick myself up for you I'm not broken, I'm not broken, you can't fix me, I'm not broken I'm not broken, I'm not broken, you can't fix me, I'm not broken I don't know what you've been told, but I've got style and I've got soul I don't know what you've been told, but I've got style and I've got soul Don't make me feel like a pre-teen Falling for some middle school dream Don't make me feel like a head case All I did was make a mistake (x2) I'm not broken, I'm not broken, you can't fix me, I'm not broken I'm not broken, I'm not broken, you can't fix me, I'm not broken I don't know what you've been told, but I've got style and I've got soul I don't know what you've been told, but I've got style and I've got soul

When I Sing 02:29
Dear God, the universe and everything I have always been the girl who does not believe in anything And no one taught me how to pray So I hope that you can hear me when I sing Dear God, the universe and everything I need to believe that somebody is listening 'Cause I have never been so lonely I’m tired of this winter, bring me spring Bring me spring, bring me spring Or bring me something I can use to mend my broken little wings Bring me spring, bring me spring Or bring me something I can use to mend my broken little wings Dear God, the universe and everything I can feel my bones crack under the weight that I’ve been carrying so I am holding my hands up and I hope that you can hear me when I sing When I sing, when I sing I can feel everyone who's ever prayed for anything When I sing, when I sing I can feel everyone who's ever prayed for anything When I sing (x4)

This Time 03:02
I make myself sick, I can’t help it I’ve always had this darkness, who am I without it? My thoughts have run wild for 22 years And I’d have thought that by now I’d have swallowed my fears But every time I break down hysterically I say it’s the very last time, I swear it will be I try to change, I try to cope I always climb back from the edge of my rope This time, this time is different (x2) I’m gonna try a new medication Eastern religion or form of meditation I’ll change how I eat and change how I speak and I’ll repeat my mantra before I go to sleep But suddenly it sinks in, there’s no time to fight it I say it’s the very last time, I can’t keep going like this I’m gonna change, and I’m gonna cope I’m gonna hold on to what’s left of my hope This time, this time is different (x2) (Instrumental solo) I like his eyes, and I like his brain He makes me laugh and I make him do the same but He doesn’t know I can’t keep it together I know I can love him as soon as I get better But what if I break down hysterically? I say it’s the very last time, Oh god I hope it will be I’m gonna change and take control From now on I swear I’m normal This time, this time I’m different (x2) Can you see my face? Does it look like I’m lying? I’m gonna be okay or I’m gonna die trying (x2) This time, this time I’m different (what if I’m not, what if I’m not) (x2) This time, this time I’m different

When I get better you’ll be mine And we’ll go dancing all the time And I’ll be beautiful and thin My dress will show a little skin And I will never think of dying Or call you up at midnight crying No I will only laugh and smile And you’ll feel careless like a child And you’ll say that you can't live without me And you'll write all your songs about me When I get better, if I get better When I get better I swear it’s true I will be taking care of you My cool hands will soothe your aches I’ll only give and never take And I will always take my pills And I will always pay my bills And you will have nothing to fear You’ll be so happy when I’m near And you’ll say you love me Say you need me And I’ll say it right back believe me When I get better, if I get better
