Tell me all about your favorite magazines, tell me girl what's your favorite one. Tell me all your views on modern rock music. Tell me girl, what's your favorite song?
She looks good in a t-shirt. She looks good in a white dress. She looks good with her hair up. She looks good with her hair down. She looks good almost all the time.
She likes all the different 90's grunge bands. She wears denim pants and classic vans. She can spend her nights just doing nothing. Or she can play the night just like a game.
She looks good in a t-shirt. She looks good in a white dress. She looks good with her hair up. She looks good with her hair down. She looks good almost all the time.

You question what you wanted
The summer left me haunted
You always take advYou question what you wanted
The summer left me haunted
You always take advantage
Now I'm taking you for granted
I'm sick of this
I'm sick, I'm sore of all these misimpressions
And I don't know what to hold on for
You've broken apart all the nights and the stars
I keep being brought down for all the work I put in
Felt for once like I belong
Safe within my own skin
And the last nights that we shared
Were the last nights that I cared
What is the worth in this at all?
False hope, a tightrope
I chose to take the risk
Faith lost, fingers crossed
I took the shot and missed
So I dried up every vein on this map
To find where you left what we had
If only I could turn back time
The way you turned your back on me
All the lights burned out on the walls I used to know
I've left home
Where do I go?
I've lost you once
And then over and over again in my head
And I pray you don't ever have to feel that kind of pain
I pray you never have to feel that kind of fucking pain
Keep me in the dark
And then you feed me to the sharks
And then you run off like the coward that you are
Occupy my head
Make me question all you said
Because I don't know who the hell you are
(I used to be your everything)
(I used to be your everything)
(I used to be your everything)
(I used to, I used to)

I'm so sick of being broken
Beaten and feeling down
Please come help I need you here
I really need you now
I get this high of nostalgia
Every time I look at you
I want you here
Don't disappear
I feel your presence in the room
I'm so tired of this place
It haunts me every night
I just want to leave
Walk out the door
And think of you forever more
I'm never going home
I'll just walk down these roads alone
There's no one here
I have no fears
And I know I'll die alone
Die alone
You were always something to me
Something no one else could be
I love you dear
Over all these years
It's too bad these words go in one
and right out the other ear
Now I lay here wishing on a star
I hope one day you see what you really are
I'm so tired of this place
It haunts me every night
I just want to leave
Walk out the door
And think of you forever more
I'm never going home
I'll just walk down these roads alone
There's no one here
I have no fears
And I know I'll die alone
Die Alone
I'm so tired of this place
It haunts me every night
I just want to leave
Walk out the door
And think of you forever more
I'm never going home
I'll just walk down these roads alone
There's no one here
I have no fears
And I know I'll die alone
Die alone
I'll die alone
Die alone

She's got a little bit of something in her smile that says she's bittersweet
With all the aim to drive you wild with such sincerity
She's got the touch that screams a one night stand
When all I wanted was to hold your hand
So goodbye and goodnight
So long and sleep tight
Until you've got me coming back for more
So goodbye and goodnight
So long and sleep tight
Until you've got me coming back for more
Coming back for more
She's got the devil in her eyes
She always keeps me up at night
Now I'm on my own
I'm lost
You'll see
She's got the best of me
So goodbye and goodnight
So long and sleep tight
Until you've got me coming back for more
So goodbye and goodnight
So long and sleep tight
Until you've got me coming back for more
Coming back for more
Like an avalanche you're crushing me
Buried beneath the cold
And all you'll have at the end of the day is my frozen heart to hold
And I'm wasting time on you
Wasting time on you
I'm wasting time
I'm wasting time
I'm wasting time on you
So goodbye and goodnight
So long and sleep tight
Until you've got me coming back for more
So goodbye and goodnight
So long and sleep tight
Until you've got me coming back for more
Coming back for more

Put my head against my hands
and hope nobody sees.
Gotta get away.
Disappear into those around me.
Feel free to take my focus and my energy.
Blend in with my surroundings.
I tend to prefer life in a mob.
I know I'm no good at this.
I've tried my whole life but never won.
I know I'm no good at this.
I cried at the time I was surprised it was just for fun.
I'm jumping from these rooftops,
praying something catches me.
I'm jumping from these rooftops
and I doubt that help'll be there for me.
Put my head against my hands
and hope nobody sees.
Gotta get away.
Disappear into those around me.
Feel free to take my focus and energy.

Are you sure
that you’ve completely cleared your mind?
cause the way you look at me
makes it seem otherwise
I don’t mean
to put you on the spot
I just wanted to make sure
that the feelings that you left
are in the past for good
Maybe it’s just in my head
And I just wanted to go back
to the way we were 2 years ago
Maybe it’s just in my head
and nothing’s changed
since you got bored of me
I think it’s time that I let go
of the simple things that have
kept me from growing
And maybe tomorrow
when I wake up with a clear head
I can finally think about
all the things I want to say
to you
Sometimes I think I’ll be alone forever
As I walk down taft street
my mind, it starts racing
with all the memories
of how it used to be

Picking myself up again
Rising each and every day with the morning sun
The constant regret, the mourning
Healing the wounds beneath my skin.
I'll recover.
Living this life a day to day
The constant repeating
Pulling myself apart again
Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
Cut the ties, from the lines
That attach me to the anchors
down around my feet.
Who was I before? Who was I before?
Detach: break free (x4)
Listen, just this once, it's all I need
May my words be the guidance that you seek
For the first time I'm finding meaning in the words I speak.
May my words be the light that guides you through the darkness in the night.
For the first time, I have found my true purpose

You said it wouldn't hurt this bad
but I can't remember how to put myself back together again
I was taught how to act when I was just a boy
and I know the heart is not a toy
do you get off by playing god?
by condemning me for every flaw.
I bet you'll think of me in the future alone
kicking the shit out of me while I was broken and prone
shattered pieces of what we called love on the floor
I'll never know what it's like to feel you anymore
you're a knife in my stomach, a knot in my back
and my compassion has once again failed me
I want to know what it's like to to take a breath and the air fill my lungs
cuz I've been out here for far too long
I bet you'll think of me in the future alone
kicking the shit out of me while I was broken and prone
shattered pieces of what we called love on the floor
I'll never know what it's like to feel you anymore
hold back the anger is what they said
I guess they never knew you
the smell of whisky on your breath and night
just seems to forever suit you
another trophy on your shelf
another victim to put under your belt
and yet I'll be on top in the end
I need an hour to grieve
and then my heart belongs to me

I never thought that I would feel this way.
I'd feel my heart wear thin at eighteen
and watch my skin and bones fade grey.
Cause' I promised myself last year,
I'd make the effort and try my best
to keep my head up all this winter.
All I need is forward progress.
I spent the summer feeling angry
about a couple things.
About everything you said
and how it meant the world to me.
Well, I found strength inside heartbreak
so I won't waste my breath.
You were merely holding me back.
So, I found myself deep within these streets.
I never thought it'd take you absence
to pull me through.
But, I mean it when I say that I'm trying
to keep my head up.
But, I'm still the same old kid,
I just need to shake this weight.
All this winter I've felt bitter.
Yeah, I've seen some better days.
I'm so sick of feeling like this.
I miss the way it used to be.
This year has took it's toll
but, it won't get what's left of me.
We only have what we remember
and I just want to be remembered.
For the hope I hope to give
and all the words I put together.
I swear I pour my heart out into every word I sing.
So, I hope to god you're listening.
So, I found myself deep within these streets.
I never thought it'd take you absence
to pull me through.
But, I mean it when I say that I'm trying
to keep my head up.
I think I finally found some steady footing in my life.
A place where I can rest my head
and keep me warm at night.
Yeah, I think i'll be just fine.
So, I found myself deep within these streets.
I never thought it'd take you absence
to pull me through.
But, I mean it when I say that I'm trying
to keep my head up. (x2)
I just need to keep my head up.
