Yellow overalls in a portrait hanging up on your wall
Things were easy for us then
Back when we were best friends
When the hell did that end
But somehow all good things have to change
You always taught me that nothing can stay the same
Why’s it always gotta be
That you’re always reviling
Would you take a second look to see
That everything was never really up to me
Just put me in a time machine
And I’ll go back and make it clean
Would you take a second to tell me
If that would make you proud of me?
I’m not sure what I can do
To fix the pieces between me and you
All my words fail like stale glue
And I’m not getting anything from you
It’ll always take two
But somehow all good things have to change
You always taught me that nothing can stay the same
You brought me down time and time again
To break me in and shape me
You wear me out, the torture never ends
Did you really think that you could break me down and change me?
Why’s it always gotta be
That you’re always reviling
Would you take a second look to see
That everything was never up to me
Why’s it always gotta be (why’s it gotta be)
That you’re always reviling
Would you take a second look to see
That everything was never really up to me
Just put me in a time machine (let me go back)
And I’ll go back and make it clean
Would you take a second to tell me
If that would make you proud of me?
Why’s it always gotta be (why’s it gotta be)
That you’re always reviling
Would you take a second look to see
That everything was never up to me
Just put me in a time machine (let me go back)
And I’ll go back and make it clean
Would you take a second to tell me
If that would make you proud?

concussed.

Just because I punched you in the face
Doesn't mean you had to push me down the sidewalk
You never had much nice to say
So replace my body with white lines of chalk
Passive aggression, manic depression
Thoughts were too loud to hear me knock
I could never Keep Your Secrets
'Cause you know that we could never talk
Just because you didn't mean it
Doesn't mean it won't hurt at all
Your old habits are repeating
Please don't drag me as you fall
I know we went our separate ways
Because you left me bruised and scarred
I always knew you were just a phase
I'm sure you're happy with who you are
It's like you left me concussed
And I cannot see the light now
But I'm winning the fight
And you won't bring me down now
Just know I never meant to hurt you
I always thought that you knew I wasn't bulletproof
Friends said that you were saving face
But you were never meant to be my saving grace
So throw me in a body bag, forget about what we once had
Can you hear me singing from the grave?
Do you ever think that I could feel this brave?
'Cause I'm not writing you a love song
I'm writing you off the page
I used to want to end it all (used to want to end it all)
But now I've learned to brace the fall (learned to brace the fall)
I'm crashing from the end
No matter how I break or bend
I doubt I'll be there when you call (when you call)
It’s like you left me concussed
(It's like you left me concussed)
It's like you left me concussed
And I cannot see the light now
But I'm winning the fight
And you won't bring me down now
(Left me concussed)
Just because you didn't mean it
(Left me concussed)
Doesn't mean that it won't hurt me at all
(Left me concussed)
Whoah-oh-oh

(Bruh, they don’t even give a shit about you, for real. What the fuck?)
(Dude, no. For real. I- I can’t even fucking believe that you’re saying this)
(You know- you know what, honestly, I’m reclaiming my time. I’m done)
(Yo Mal, get off the phone)
All these hours spent with these fake ass friends
Don’t know where this began, but I want it to end
I'd rather have nothing than have to pretend
While you smile through your teeth and condescend
I’ll keep my composure, just stop getting closer
I just can't handle you when I'm sober
I'm sick of your bullshit, so stop coming over
I'm cutting you off, I don't need any closure
(You know what? Just fucking delete my number, man. I don’t- I don’t even care anymore. Fuck you. Bye)
I can feel it crashing down
Don’t wanna waste your precious time
Now that we’re at the end of the line
I had trust and I had faith
But I guess that was my mistake
I couldn’t see that you were faking all along
I want conversations bigger than this
Because for me ignorance ain’t bliss
What we do, what we are, and the places we fit
How to leave this world better than we found it
I’m alone, I’m alone, not too sure about that
‘Cause I’m scrolling through nothing, don’t ask me my @
I couldn’t care less about your fucking group chat
I’m done with being your doormat
Just leave me alone (just leave me alone)
I can feel it crashing down
Don’t wanna waste your precious time
Now that we’re at the end of the line
I had trust and I had faith
But I guess that was my mistake
I couldn’t see that you were faking all along
I'll pretend that it never even happened
And now I know that all you'll be is a has-been
All your shit has got my patience wearing thin
You're under my skin, under my skin
Now you've got me with my back against the wall
And I know you'll never catch me when I fall
But I'm always going to keep my composure despite it all
Just leave me alone
I can feel it crashing down
Don’t wanna waste your precious time
Now that we’re at the end of the line
I had trust and I had faith
But I guess that was my mistake
I couldn’t see that you were faking all along
Go, just leave me alone
Go, just leave me alone
Go, just leave me alone
Go

lobotomy.

If you prescribe me a lobotomy
Then maybe everything in front of me
Will start to make some sense one of these days
Everything that I see is black and gray
I’m thinking about how times are changing, rearranging
Giving a girl like me a pathway in
You’d think that it’d make it easier for me to make it
Even with the complexion of my skin
I’m close to giving up on any possibility
That things will be alright
It seems like I don’t have it in me
It’s not in me
To keep on moving forward through eternity
I’m stranded in this fire burning all around me
All around me
All these worries of the future
Are mixing with the shames, ghosts of my past
I’m reopening my sutures, I need to ask
Why everything I see is gray and black
The air inside my lungs is burning, I am learning
To keep myself from having too much faith
The ground beneath my feet is crumbling, I am struggling
To keep a bright expression on my face
I’m close to giving up on any possibility
That things will be alright
It seems like I don’t have it in me
It’s not in me
To keep on moving forward through eternity
I’m stranded in this fire burning all around me
All around me
Every day my cheeks get more hollow
And in the mirror, my eyes are sunken in
I’m resisting one more bottle
I can’t believe the world crawled under my skin
I’ll take the memories
And I’ll turn them all to ash
To forget about the possibilities
I’ll never seem to get back
Fuck!
Won’t let myself give up (I won’t let myself)
The slightest possibility
That things will be alright (things will be alright)
I’ve gotta somehow find it in me
Somewhere in me
To keep on moving forward through this stormy sea
In spite of all the oceans rising all around me
All around me

It’s so odd how the world can just
Keep moving forward like you were never there
Suddenly you don’t know what you’re doing
And there’s nobody out there waiting on you
Give me time and my space
While I’m picking up the pieces as I figure out which road to go down
Hopeless romantics and youthful vanity
I’m not sure if I deserve this, but somehow it came to me
I am finally picking up the pieces and fixing them together again
This time I’ll keep them safe and sound
I’m not gonna let myself convince me that I could never find love again
This time we’re taking off the ground
Ten thousand miles high
I found God, and she told me that
Letting someone else into your life is going to be just fine
Changes scare me, but I know I’ll be just fine
‘Cause the sky still rains, ‘cause the grass has to grow, oh-oh-oh
I am finally picking up the pieces and fixing them together again
This time I’ll keep them safe and sound
I’m not gonna let myself convince me that I could never find love again
This time we’re taking off the ground
Ten thousand miles high
Bet you never thought that I’d change
And you always thought that I’d fall
Yielding to gravity that I can’t escape
Ten thousand miles high above the sky
Don’t dare try to reach me, I’m much too high
And I like the view of you turning blue
I am finally picking up the pieces and fixing them together again
This time I’ll keep them safe and sound
I’m not gonna let myself convince me that I could never find love again
This time we’re taking off the ground
Ten thousand miles high
Ten thousand miles high

I should have gotten the fuck out of this town
Never thought it’d hurt to see you around
You never had to try hard anyway
You left without a single thing to say
Sometimes things have to go wrong
Just forget about the times where I just couldn’t seem to find
My way around this fucked up world without you
When things go wrong and things go bad
Know I’m the best you’ll ever have
And I’ll never waste another second on you
I’ll make it on my own
I can’t believe it’s been one whole year since I last stayed at your place
And since then I’ve kind of turned into a basket case
I’ve found it so hard to erase who we are
And all those feckless nights in the back of my car
Holidays feel wrong without your face
But still, you left a bitter taste
Yet part of me still wants
Another firework, another shooting star
Another wasted New Year’s Eve at the Friday’s bar
But I’ll forget about the times when I just couldn’t seem to hide
The way I couldn’t walk this path without you
I’m moving on, I won’t look back
Let nothing steer me off my tracks
And I’ve got nothing but good wishes for you
I’ll make it on my own
I’ll make it on my own
Just go
You always had to say, “I told you so”
Just go
You always had to say, “I told you so”
Now I’ll forget about the times where I just couldn’t seem to find
My way around this fucked up world without you
When things go wrong and things go bad
Know I’m the best you’ve ever had
And I’ll never waste another second on you
I’ll make it on my own
My own
