i want you to want me so bad that it stings
like the hickey he left last night
antarctica was creepin on my neck as i lay sleepin
and somehow that's alright
if i've had too much to drink, if i'm way too gone to think, do you mind?
cause the winter wind's a blowin and the elements won't be kind
we've been here before, you don't have to hide from me anymore
show me your scars
the weight of his words hit me ten times worse
and i'm the one who sees you as you are
i need you to need me so bad that it aches
like my knees on your bathroom tiles
and maybe, just maybe, i want you to hate me
i don't think i'm worth your while
if you tell me what you think as my guts rush down your sink, i won't mind
just be honest, don't worry about being kind
we've been here before, you don't have to hide from me anymore
show me your scars
the weight of your words hit me ten times worse
and i'm the one who sees you as you are
from below
was i worth the pain? was i worth the shame?
and even so, would you do again?
we've been here before, you don't have to hide from me anymore
show me your scars
the weight of his words hit me ten times worse
i'm the one who sees you as you are
show me your scars
the weight of your words hit me ten times worse
i don't want to see you as you are
ooooooh

the prettiest machine

if there were guidelines to your love, i wish i’d known
if there’s a user’s manual, why didn’t you say so?
remember all those times i let you down before
don’t look at me like that, all tired and unsure
i know this all came out of the blue, i’m sorry for that
i’m a broken record too, play your favorite track
there’s no metaphor to capture how i really feel
you’re drunk and overwrought, i wish i wasn’t real
there’s something in the way you smile that makes me fall apart
ever since you turned around, i knew you had my heart
the older i become, the less i feel i’m smart
please don’t start, please don’t start, please don’t...
although there’s so much more to say, i’ll bite my tongue
instead i’m looking toward the past - what did we become?
strip me of my empathy and bypass any sympathy
you’re the proud new owner of the prettiest machine
there’s something in the way you smile that makes me fall apart
ever since you turned around, i knew you had my heart
the older i become, the less i feel i’m smart
please don’t start, please don’t start
please don’t be so sure
baby i should tell you i’m a bore
gave you all i have and there’s no more
i can’t even tell you what’s in store
the kind of girl you’ll grow to hate
i’ve missed the deadline, i’m too late
there’s something in the way you smile that makes me fall apart
ever since you turned around, i knew you’d wreck my heart
the older i become, the less i feel i’m smart
please don’t start, please don’t start, please don’t start

figure it out

you say you saw me yesterday, turned and walked the other way back home
and now i'm lying on my bed, wishing i had just ignored my phone
cuz i don't feel things half as deep as you, no
and i can't say i care what you've been through, so
i'll call you when i figure it out
i never heard you so resigned the way you were when we hung up last night, oh
and even though you can't let go, i can't help thinking you're a little right
cause every word you spit at me is true, oh
but isn't knowing that enough for you?
so just call me when you figure it -
everything we said and what we felt is second hand
everything i do from this day on is not for you
i'll lie to myself
i've figured it out
i've figured it out
i've figured it out

smoked up, your crystal’s clear
i like the way it burns
hard as turning backward
i like it when you hurt
quiet minds, noisy cities
i think i’ll walk instead
shift the lens, your sweetness
the void that’s in your head
he looks for ways to occupy his hands
people float like dreams above his bed
i kiss his face and watch him walk away
i beg him like a child just to stay
i burned down your glass house
my heart was in your hands
finish lines, no next time
i thought i could i can’t
i thought i could i can’t
i thought i could i
i thought i could i can’t
he looks for ways to occupy his hands
people float like dreams above his bed
i kiss his face and watch him walk away
i beg him like a child just to stay
i thought i could i can’t
i thought i could i can’t
i thought i could i
i thought i could i
i thought i could
