what's mine

Whatever you’ve heard is probably true
I know your mama didn’t raise you a fool
Despite everything, I’d do anything for you
Yeah looks can be deceiving
At first, we’re freewheeling, having fun
A bit of histrionics never hurt anyone
Like staring a little too long at the sun
It’s like you’ll never see it
Babe
Did you expect me to behave?
Did you think that I would turn out just fine?
Oh babe,
Would you have me any other way?
I’m only staking claim of what’s mine
Our problems are turtles all the way down
How can I love you when there’s no one around
When you leave for the night, you don’t make a sound
I swear I didn’t mean it
But I’m not sorry either…
Babe
Did you expect me to behave?
Did you think that I would turn out just fine?
Oh babe,
Would you have me any other way?
I’m only staking claim of what’s mine
I think I’m only feelings-adjacent
Better off than the portrait in my basement
Just promise me you’ll never tell the truth
I only do it for you, only for you
Hating me is par for the course
I’ll break any heart as long as it’s yours
I’ll ruin your life just because I’m bored
I can’t even believe it
And you’ll never leave me
Babe
Did you expect me to behave?
Did you think that I would turn out just fine?
No nevermind babe,
Would you have me any other way?
I’m only staking claim of what’s mine

cutting ties

The push and pull of the tide
You’re pushing me aside
To feel the touch of another
Incognito, under covers
You’re good at blurring boundaries
Thought you lost me then you found me
Crushed by the weight of your gaze
Oh, long ing for better days/daze
You’re not even sorry for what you put me through
So no, you don’t deserve the things I felt for you
Yet I feel a spark
I reach for you in the dark
So much for cutting ties
I’ll get out of your way
Before you crush me like a wave
To think I thought you loved me
You just want to get above me
You’re good at mixing signals
Oh I wish it was that simple
To think of all the ways
You could’ve damned me with your praise
You’re not even sorry for what you put me through
So no, you don’t deserve the things I felt for you
Yet I feel a spark
I reach for you in the dark
So much for cutting
Deeper and deeper,
And I’m losing sleep
Every night it’s the same routine
Deeper and deeper
Your one true believer
You’ve got no idea what you do to me
You're not even sorry for what you put me through
So no, you don't deserve the things I felt for you
Yet I feel a spark
We find each other in the dark
So much for cutting, much for cutting, much for cutting ties

the story i deserve

Tell me how’s it feel up there?
Never thought I’d like being down here
Everybody’s looking, pretend that you care
While I make it crystal clear that it’s over
We used to ride side by side
Now I bet off track, with your boot on my neck
I hate waiting, make me taste it
No matter how you try, you can’t tell me what I like
Tell me how’s it feel up there?
Never thought I’d like being down here
Everybody’s looking, pretend that you care
While I make it crystal clear that it’s over
I’ll write the story I deserve
I’ll change the ending, think I’ve earned it
Sometimes I wish I never met you
Sometimes I wish I never met you
I was hardly a lover, and I’m not your fucking mother
Separate the two in your head
I know you led me on because I gave you attention
All along you wanted his instead
You used to make me wish I was dead
Tell me how’s it feel up there?
Never thought I’d like being down here
Everybody’s looking, pretend that you care
While I make it crystal clear
Tell me how’s it feel up there?
Never thought I’d like being down here
Everybody’s looking, pretend that you care
While I make it crystal clear that it’s over
I’ll write the story I deserve
I’ll change the ending, think I’m worth it
Sometimes I wish I never met you
Sometimes I wish I never met you
Sometimes I wish I…

Drop me a line, second of your time
Then we don’t speak for a week
Is that what you want from me?
Is that what you want from me?
Call me ugly, get out of jail free
Stare at you with these blues
Is that all I am to you?
Is that all I am to you?
You’re the razor’s edge, you’re on the ledge
Late for the sophomore slump
Not the first time you thought to jump
Sweet nothings on the phone
You’re so impossible
You’re so impossible
You’re so impossible
Don’t make me laugh
Misdirection breeds aggression
I think you’re being kind
Should I be cutting ties?
Should I be cutting ties?
You’re the razor’s edge, you’re on the ledge
Late for the sophomore slump
Not the first time you thought to jump
Sweet nothings on the phone
You’re so impossible
You’re so impossible
You’re so impossible
Don’t make me laugh
Cuz if you make me laugh,
I’m gonna cry instead
Oh, I’m gonna cry instead
You’re the razor’s edge, you’re on the ledge
Sweet nothings on the phone,
Oh darlin’ please come home
I can’t wait for you all night
You’re so impossible
You’re so impossible
You’re so impossible
I’ll cry instead

decisions

Your hands tangled up in my hair
It’s midnight, you act like you don’t care
But I care
Show you my underbelly
Look me over, there’s more to see there
Yeah I care
Making decisions when I’m half asleep
See that noose round here? It’s tightening
And when you look at me, no, I can’t breathe
So when I don’t come back, you’re wondering
You’re wondering
Taking the long way home
It’s morning, you think I’ll pick up my phone
But I won’t
My anxious mind is tempted
But I know it won’t make a difference, no
So I won’t
Making decisions when I’m half asleep
See that noose round here? It’s tightening
And when you look at me, no, I can’t breathe
So when I don’t come back, you’re wondering
You’re wondering
Had my mind made up by someone else
A year has come and gone, I don’t need any help
Until some time ago, my feelings were on the shelf
I’m fine to take them down, I don’t need any help
Making decisions when I’m half asleep
See that noose round here? It’s tightening
And when you look at me, no, I can’t breathe
So when I don’t come back, you’re wondering
You’re wondering
You’re wondering
You’re wondering
