Sorry to break it to you but I've started smoking again. It's just so hard to keep myself out of my own head (Without a cigarette) And you know you were the one that helped me when I quit So what the hell was I supposed to do when you just up and left? I just know I won't make it through another winter here (not without you) Because the snow just won't stop falling and this jacket hasn't fit me in years Look past all of my shortcomings Ignore my insecurites Cuz I just cant stop my dry skin from itching And I'll blame the cold but we'll both know that it's cuz of my anxiety and how I refuse to take my pills Cuz I'd rather just smoke weed I used to say hate the city but it always looked so pretty in your eyes. So let me take you out again. Just one more time. We can talk about the bands we wanna see we can talk about the people we wanna be talk about anything and everything just please dont leave Cuz even if it wasnt meant to be I still need you here with me if I had the courage to really let you go do you think Id still be here? Writing you these songs. I'll ask Mark to pass the bong and inhale as deep as I can Cuz if I cant think straight, I cant think of you (at least thats the plan) So call me back when you get the chance Im leaving my life in your hands Maybe im being a bit dramatic but thats how it feels again Cuz its only been a month since you left but it feels like its been years Cuz you skipped town but not my head and im sorry for calling you at 4am again

Im sorry am I in your way? I'll be moving shortly I just wanted to be a small part of your beautiful day I'm sorry was it something I said? I swear I would take it back if I could and just keep my words in my head I would morph into any form or shape I would change my legs, my arms, my face I'm just waiting for your word. I'm just waiting for your say. 'Cause I could do that for you I could do that for you I could do that for you (you know it's true) I could do that for you (you know it's true)

Please sweetheart, drive a little slower, Make this long drive just a little longer I Don't wanna go to bed in my apartment. Cuz it Creeps up on me when you're not here, That longing nameless unshakeable fear I don't wanna go to bed in my apartment. Turn off the lights in the car, Put on Put on another quiet song I'm sorry I'm just so tired. Take me back to your place instead, my building has too many stairs, I'm sorry I'm just so tired. So what's the point of trying if it's not getting better I don't see the point of another sunrise I'd rather live on this drive, pass out in the back of your car cuz I dont' wanna go to bed in my apartment Staring at the ceiling isn't sleeping Flushing down my pills isn't healing I don't wanna go to bed in my apartment Take me back to your place instead my building has too many stairs I don't wanna, I'm just so tired I wanna get better I swear but I'm Just so scared of how it will end and I don't wanna go to bed, don't wanna go to bed So please sweetheart drive a littler slower, make this long drive just a little longer I don't wanna see where the road ends.

I'm so sick of my friends, I'm so sick of this town So sick of my family, so sick of myself I'm a singer without a voice, I'm a writer without a pen I am all these contradictions simply because I say I am and if I ever claim to be anything more Could you call me out before I get any worse? Before I get any worse You say, "are you drunk? I say, "I think so" "Do you need help? Do you need a ride home" I'm so sick of my friends, I'm so sick of this town So sick of my family, so sick of myself Why does leaving always feel so easy? I've been counting down the minutes til this party ends Telling you I'm tipsy so you could hold my hand Why does faking always feel so easy? You're sick of hearing it, but I don't know what you want me to say. I'm sick of feeling it, maybe you're the one to make me stay because you were the best part of my falling apart because you were the best part of my falling apart. "Can I come over?" You say, "I think so." "Is anyone home?" You say, "I don't know" I'm so sick of my friends, I'm so sick of this town So sick of my family, so sick of myself Why does leaving always feel so easy? I've been counting down the minutes til this party ends Telling you I'm tipsy so you hold my hand Why does faking always feel so easy? I'm so sick of my friends, I'm so sick of this town So sick of my family, so sick of myself If I'm leaving I'll be taking you with me I'm so sick of my friends, I'm so sick of this town So sick of my family, so sick of myself I just wish you'd come back home And cut me open, crawl inside Say I'm yours just for tonight so I can learn to breathe again
