I don't think you're happy
I'm blind but we're tangled up
In everything but my bed sheets
It's colder in Cincinnati
These mornings are what I need
My mind's consumed
With all of these fake memories
And everything we wouldn't every try to be
Something to accommodate your mood
You're scaring off my common sense
And guess what, not every things about you
This love, I give up
Well my conscience can't stop finding
All these reasons to keep trying

All I wanted was your attention
You always had the final word
I never met someone like you
To open up these iron doors
But are you even listening
My friends say I'm all alone
But I'll stay for far too long
For far too long
And I'll say
You're just an obstacle
And I can't let you go
It makes me sick
I fucking hate it
That I'm so bad at passing judgement
I never could have made you happy
I hate the sleepless nights
And I'm sick of feeling guilty
For another face, a waste of time
I hate that you're still in my head
I guess you could say
You never belonged here
But i'll just keep biting my tongue
To make you smile
Having you is like not having
Anyone at all
This all seems so pointless
But I'll stay for far too long
For far too long
And I'll say
You're just an obstacle
And I can't let you go
I can't let you go
I can't let you go
I can't let you go
I can't let you go

This time I'm
Out on my own
Sitting alone
Over exposure
Without closure
The water's building
I'll drown on my own
Living proof of
No place like home
And I don't regret it
No hope in my head
I'm dreading tomorrow
(I'm dreading tomorrow)
My mind keeps changing
Quicker than the seasons
And it's tough to find a reason
To keep on
Going with things
The way they are
I'm not living
I'm just an idle mind
Posing threats to my own surface
These ghosts are haunting me
Holding on tight until my mid 30's
I'm not healthy yet
Most days I stay in bed
I feel like I'm part of the scenery
The world's so big and I'm just sleeping
All Day
(Sleeping all day)
I feel locked into all of this and
I think every day about
How I could be
Investing my time somewhere else
I'm not living
I'm just an idle mind
Posing threats to my own surface
These ghosts are haunting me
Holding on tight until my mid 30's
I'm not healthy yet
Most days I stay in bed
I feel like I'm part of the scenery
The world's so big and I'm just sleeping
All Day
Sometimes I feel like
I don't know what I'm doing
Like I'm investing all of this time
In to something I don't want to be
And somewhere I don't want to live
And like nothing matters
But it's like my friend Ian said
It's hard to get up when you're on the floor
I don't want to be here anymore
I'm not living
I'm just an idle mind
Posing threats to my own surface
These ghosts are haunting me
Holding on tight until my mid 30's
I'm not healthy yet
Most days I stay in bed
I feel like I'm part of the scenery
The world's so big and I'm just sleeping
All Day

You just love to talk
So you can get your way
People like you for
The things you share with them
People love to hear those lies
And sure, you win for now
But I'm the better man
Your selfish intentions are sickening me
But not this time
I'm standing up
You are nothing, nothing
We're nothing, nothing
And you just love to talk
So you can get your way
People like you for
The things you share with them
And I'm not ready yet
To lose a friend
But talk is cheap
Your words cut deep
For once, see things like I do
The rumors they are true
So wash your face
Just find the strength
Believe me now, you're more to me
The lies you tried
Can I ask why?
Apologize
Say something, something
And you just love to talk
So you can get your way
People like you for
The things you share with them
And I'm not ready yet
To lose a friend
But talk is cheap
Your words cut deep
For once, see things like I do
This isn't over
This isn't over
This isn't over (this isn't it, this isn't it)
Time to get sober

The past is all I have
These thoughts kept in the back of my head
Are holding on, so tightly
But now I know
Things are better off this way
But still these days, they haunt me
It means nothing to you
Why are you here just wasting time?
Cold and all alone, drunk dialing on your phone
Shouldn't you be searching for something more?
Than just another whore, found on the bathroom floor
(Nothing to you)
I thought, Yeah I thought
That you were better than this
I guess not, I was wrong
(Nothing at all)
So drink away another day
Forget the memories, you'll forget them anyways
Don't I ever cross your mind from time to time?
You're just another lost
Grown apart, we're better off
Shouldn't you be searching for something more?

e had something that made me wonder
If I'd ever need another
I was happier than most guys
You'res was disguised over second guesses
The feeling of being free and off to college
Was common knowledge
You're so pretty that any guy would want you
Just to own and flaunt you
And sometimes I get worried
That I'm not good enough
And some dude will come and
Sweep you off your feet
And be what I won't be
A prick, that won't respect you
He'll only get to know your body
And not what films you like
Or that faith annoys you
And every night before bed
When you're lonely you'll complain to me
And I'll shake my head
You mean so much to me, so just know I'll
Always be here, making your mistakes clear
No matter how much I thought you cared
You keep me here on my own, alone in the friend zone
You mean so much to me, so just know I'll
Always be here, making your mistakes clear
No matter how much I fucking cared
You keep me here on my own, alone in the friend zone
Eighteen months since
You have a conscience
My shaky hands just
Can't hold on anymore
Tell me you want this
No I don't want this
Maybe I'll smile, show my teeth
Knowing that you're alone
