There's no honesty in your eyes when you twist your tongue How can you be so pathological yet still so young Every lies a trigger pulled, on a loaded gun I'd sooner leave you behind than have these songs unsung I hope you wake up one of these days all on your own Because you never really knew how it felt to be alone I thought my best days were behind me, thought they were long gone Convinced myself they’d left with you Now I'm stuck to live with empty bottles and a bitter heart. You’re the one thing I’ll never miss (I am done with this) I guess you were right, when you said I only loved you Because I needed you, but I felt it nonetheless But I know for sure, it’s no coincidence That I fell for you rather than anybody else. I'm a waste of your time, you wasted mine too All the hours spent just decaying with you. You made me question things I love And everything I've come to trust And I can see, you're twenty three and still stuck in that high school mentality And I may be cutting you off, you gave me the scissors to make this mark without the scar Invalidated promises won’t get you far I guess you were right, when you said I only loved you Because I needed you, but I felt it nonetheless But I know for sure, it’s no coincidence That I fell for you rather than anybody else. I listen to the songs I played on your bed Does my voice run through your head?

Looking Back 03:36
I've never worn my heart on my sleeve It's always hidden away and left to bleed Out on these pages, that no-one ever sees Was I nothing more to you than a backup plan? You were no different from the rest another memory to repress of times i detest I got sick of looking back So that I couldn't see the path that was in front of me I'd always bend over backwards Just for you to never raise a finger It only made things harder through this arduous winter Where you left me bereft of any confidence If theres one thing I'll maintain It's that you'll never see my face again I spent night thinking back on what could have been And all these things we could have seen But like clockwork, you walked away And I'm glad that you did anyway. And I can't help that we're not friends anymore And truth be told, I don't miss you at all. I got sick of looking back So that I couldn't see the path that was in front of me I'd always bend over backwards Just for you to never raise a finger It only made things harder through this arduous winter Where you left me bereft of any confidence If there's one thing I'll maintain It's that you'll never see my face again

This whole past year's felt like I'm dragging my feet Moving painfully slow along this dead-end path To the same beat I'm tired and sore as these dreams become burdens As weeks roll on there's only one thing that's for certain Every time I find my feet the floors collapse below me And I'll keep my head in the clouds even if I'm falling I'll walk away and you can stay on your throne While I live the life that you'll never know And you can say what you want to say But know that you'll choke on your words One of these days I've watched friends pack up their hopes and dreams And leave this all behind I'm taking back the year you wasted one day at a time I'm not holding back and no I won't just hold the line You've faded out like background noise and I won't let you hold me down! I'll walk away and you can stay on your throne While I live the life that you'll never know And you can say what you want to say But know that you'll choke on your words One of these days Check check! Left us behind, only care 'bout yourself You're so scared of hard work so it's clear how you felt About the time that we spent, the music we played But we know you ain't shit at the end of the day. I'll walk away and you can stay on your throne While I live the life that you'll never know And you can say what you want to say But know that you'll choke on your words One of these days

Reflection 01:51
I can't find the right words to say I try to keep myself together I watched her mouth form the words "I can't do this" And who could blame her? What's to do when even my shadow won't stay by my side? I try to capture these emotions that run through my head at night Fighting off the demons inside my head And this desperation I'm knee deep in What I see in my reflection, is just a boy lacking direction Laced with imperfections, at least in my perception Ingesting sugar padded poisons to get my through My heart drops to my stomach with just the thought of you

Last June 03:02
I was barely 18 and felt like I had nothing And that's exactly what you made me think I was Pushed aside and left to rust on the shelf Along with the other things that keep you up at night What I thought was gold soon rusted and moulded And who you really were quickly unfolded I did my best not to think of you But I can't escape the memory of what you did last June In my own home you put this to an end At least you had the decency to stay out of my bed. I spent months at a time lost Searching for a sense of purpose 'Cause I was left feeling nothing short of worthless You left a mess inside my head that took me years to clean up And I still have it swept under the rug I did my best not to think of you But I can't escape the memory of what you did last June In my own home you put this to an end At least you had the decency to stay out of my bed. Strung me along because you liked the attention Compliments and unrivaled affection I didn't need you and why would I want to? Strung me along because you liked the attention (It's not my intention) Compliments and unrivaled affection (For resentment) I didn't need you and why would I want to? (You only care about yourself_
