Don't you feel like a mess
Don't you feel like it's all falling
apart, I'm not at my best, you could probably guess
but you seem to be fine, nonethe
less, I guess I wanted a little bit of tears
or an opportunity to tell you I'm
Better without you forever and ever
I hope you say you wanna try again, I don't wanna try again
but it'd make me feel special to hear I'm one of your regrets
Does one of us get to be the winner, I don't wanna be bitter but
You broke my heart
You broke my heart
So let's agree you're
bad for me I
don't want you back
but I can't adapt
I'm a hopeless mess
but I digress
don't call
Don't call
so what do we do now, do we pretend we're comfortable
I don't wanna be the first one to suggest it, but maybe we just need to get a little bit vicious
cus I got so precious, and you got so precious, and we learned how to tiptoe around it
I loved you and I put nothing else above you and now you're so horrid I can't bear to look at you
What did I see in you anyway, say it back, spit it in my face
I'll work on a comeback that kind of depends, you'll argue what I imagine you would in my head
so do me a favour and stick to the script, so I can tell you that you're so full of shit
because of x and y z, Doesn't it feel good say so what a relief
I remember our first date
it was so sweet can you relate
If you get a chance to
cast your mind back
please don't call
don't call
So Let's get together drink a bottle to our hearts
and get to wondering if it was doomed right from the start
I'm a gullible predictable romantic stupid sap
and I guess I jumped at any opportunity to prove that
maybe one day it won't be a burden or a curse
and I'm really looking forward to the time I get that first
and hopefully last, Get out of the past
in the meantime I'll wallow to major key sorrow
was it perfect yesterday
or did I just want you to stay
so I could say, I was loved today
after all
don't call
Don't call

I wanna play those games
Where noone ever wins
And everybody's left
Thinking what could have been
I wanna play those games
that are always rigged
I wanna throw the blame
I wanna be stupid
Cus I don't like the way that we left this
With hung up calls and unseen messages
With every word sounding ambiguous
connecting like broken jigsaw pieces
And I don't wanna be waiting
I don't wanna be the one left on your hook
But in this moment I'm making a break for
Every chance you'll let me take, and every chance I ever took
and I don't think I ever knew
what made me vulnerable was you
and now I'm spinning yeah I'm stuck on this loop
I wanna tear my hair
straight out of my head
I wanna scream so you
don't understand a word I've said
I wanna play those games
where you feel in charge
and I feel undead
I wanna make this worse
I wanna bring up everything
I ever thought you threw away
I wanna be your biggest regret
Your last words on your deathbed babe
I wanna be the one who gets
to shove this right back in your face
I wanna be the one
who's not afraid to say
that I don't like the way that we left this
Split for sure and seal it with a kiss
and now every word's an attempt to impress
or just get a rise please snap me out of this
My medicine is running out
I wish that I could go without
Making such a mess of things
yeah I can't take starting again
I need to think turn my phone off
and in an hour its back on
i'm scrolling through my messages
I really wanna start again

Hate Your Guts

So I know oh I know that I shouldn't
I shouldn't call you tonight
Cus after you hang up I feel so empty
but when you're talking it just feels right
Lately I've been missing you
I guess you're the apple of my eye
Well maybe I'm an imbecile
Who likes wasting all of his time
I tell my friends what you do
And they're no fans of you
But I think they know there's not much
you couldn't get me to do
Give me a time and a place
and I'll pack my bags right now
Or are you just messing me around
Let me tell you something baby
I hate your guts, you drive me crazy
but I can't think of anybody
that I'd rather waste all my time with than you
Give me a break
but will call me later
Because I'm just so willing
to keep this going
You take and you take
but can I blame ya?
because I just keep giving
so you can keep it going
I tell my friends what you do
and they're no fans of you
Cus I got good folk in my corner
and I tell em they just don't see you
when you're at your best
Like I do
Honestly how much of that is true?
When you think of me what goes through your head?
Am I your paramour, lover, or something else instead?
Am I just the almost latest boy to grace your bed?
Or do you love me with a full heart like you always said?
I'm thinking of you almost all the time
But I know I can't tell people that you're mine
Cus I when I do i'll turn around to find
You say one thing but you had something else in mind
that I miss nearly as much as I miss you

I know I know I've been sat
On the bench for too long
And I more or less skipped my turn
Is that how this works
Because I know it's absurd
That I even wrote this song
But I know I need this
Outlet to exist
Even though I always said
I'd never do this again
Get your words stuck in my head
and ponder what they meant
So Baby
Share this drink with me
And maybe we
Could be
More
Than we were before
Or is it too late?
I guess I ought to give up on fate
I know I know these are all things
That I shouldn't be thinking about
Shouldn't be trying to figure you out
But I can't help it
And it makes me feel like shit
That you might be listening
And piecing it together
So Darling
Did I get close to right?
Was this ever something
Or did I just tell myself that at night
When I couldn't fall asleep
Because all my dreams
were full of you
So baby
share this drink with me
if just for today
before we go away
And I do this again
with someone brand new
because that's just what I do
I guess I'm still waiting on fate
