You keep my bed warm at night
And I lay awake
And think about how our bodies used to melt into one another and how your arms used to hold me tight and how our legs would intertwine and how I was never sure where I stopped and you began
Now it takes time
For the bed
To heat up
For my body heat to accumulate under
blanket layers
I know where I end
Where the bed begin
It is not the same
It's not the same
Maybe I'll just fucking masturbate
Until my skin goes raw
And I bleed out
I'll die alone
But satisfied
For once in my fucking life.
Now it takes time
For my body to heat up
For a stain to form under blanket layers
I don’t know where I end
Where the bed begins
It is not the same
It's not the same
I miss your warmth

I have a secret
Most of my friends already know
Thought I didn’t need to keep it
But now I’m afraid of letting go
I don’t want to be the way I am
Wouldn’t it be easier?
Wouldn’t it be safer?
I don’t want to be the way I am
Wouldn’t you be fine being something else
Think about the consequences
Of lying to yourself like this
Oh God would not approve of it
You have a choice, yeah you have options
Keep that skeleton in the closet
After all no one would want it
It’s what you deserve
You’re a scared little kid
Afraid of getting hurt in the process
Of having your heart torn into pieces
I’m in a panic room
The blood on the walls spells out my doom
I could just look away
But my trembling hands are still bloodstained
I don’t want to be the way I am
Wouldn’t it be easier?
Wouldn’t it be safer?
I don’t want to be the way I am
Wouldn’t you be fine being something else
Think about the consequences
Of lying to yourself like this
Oh God would not approve of it
You have a choice, yeah you have options
Keep that skeleton in the closet
After all no one would want it
It’s what you deserve
You’re a scared little kid
Afraid of getting hurt in the process
Of having your heart torn into pieces
I want to be the way I am
It would be easier
It would be safer
I want to be the way I am
I wouldn’t be fine being anything else
Think about the consequences of telling yourself the truth like this
It doesn’t matter who approves of it
You have a choice, yeah you have options
This skeleton is coming out of the closet
After all, the world wants it
It’s what you deserve
You’re a grown up now
Who can take joy in the process
Of putting a heart together from pieces

There is a blank space
Your smile used to fill
There is a gap between
The cracks in my heart
But I’m crying less
And I like myself more
I’m done answering to anyone
I keep reaching for my phone
At the end of the day
To call you
To tell you all about it
There’s no one to call
I’m alone
We were driving down the inter-state
Running late
You were distracted
There was a glimmer
In your eye
Thought I could see
The rest of my life
I keep reaching for my phone
At the end of the day
To call you
To tell you all about it
There’s no one to call
I’m alone
You missed the exit
And I was so fucking mad
You were happy
I forget why
Looking over at me
In the passenger side
We were holding hands
I keep reaching for my phone
At the end of the day
To call you
To tell you all about it
There’s no one to call
I’m alone
I pay a therapist now
Two hundred dollars an hour
She’s a better listener
Than you ever were
I’m crying less
I like myself more
I’m done answering to anyone
I’m not reaching for the phone
At the end of the day
I don’t need to call you
To tell you all about it
Thank fucking god
I’m alone

Shit Dude!

Who gave you the right to be this goddamn beautiful
I’ve fallen in love with you, you son of a bitch
You’ve somehow won me over with your wily ways
But I can’t say that I mind it
Fuck you for that
You could not just let me mind my own goddamn business
You had to get your greasy fingers all over my heart
I gotta be more careful around folks like you
Cuz now I’m head over heels
And you got me like
Shit dude I love you
What the fuck is up with that
I don’t wanna sound too sappy
But you make me fuckin happy
Shit dude I fell for you
So thanks a lot for that
You’re trying to kiss my lips
So I’ll go for the face
What exactly were you thinking when you shot me that smile
The most romantic 360 no scope that I’ve ever seen
Next time maybe I won’t be so prone to your dazzling eyes
Or maybe I don’t stand a chance
Cuz you got me like
Shit dude I love you
What the fuck is up with that
I don’t wanna sound too sappy
But you make me fuckin happy
Shit dude I fell for you
So thanks a lot for that
You’re trying to kiss my lips
So I’ll go for the face
**Connor rant**
WHAT THE HELL DUDE
Shit dude I love you
And there’s no denying that
Every time I see your face
My fucking heart begins to race
Shit dude, this song’s for you
So you’re welcome for that
Maybe if you stick around
I can play it again
