Wish 03:08
You're disappointed in me. Oh yeah? Well you turn me on. And what about the things that you've done? What pisses me off is that I could tear you apart. But I don't and I won't 'cause I have too much feeling inside this vessel in my chest. It beats harder and faster the closer you get. And I don't think you understand that your words are the fatal cutting edge when you have me in your bed. So what if I get high? I can't wait 'til the day you turn around and see no one's there for you 'cause you pushed them all away and I can't wait 'til you're miserable and I can't wait until the day you finally fall. Oh, you're not that far away. And it's times likes these that I question the authenticity of your promises. I swear to god, I'll never trust another actor for this reason: You change like seasons. Well, maybe this all was a role you so eloquently played. The world is your stage and it's all fun and games until I find out that you don't feel the same. So what if I get high? I can't wait 'til the day you turn around and see no one's there for you 'cause you pushed them all away and I can't wait 'til you're miserable and I can't wait until the day you finally fall.

The Liar 02:50
It's been a few months since we spoke last and I can honestly say I have kept you in the past where you belong. Well there's no more trips to East Centre, no more driving to the city at 3 AM, but I'd rather not play pretend when I have 10 times better friends. You were a phase I went through I think. It went downhill every time we would smoke and drink. Oh! Remember those shooting stars? I think they were a warning to tell me I should get out. But I didn't listen. It caused me so much pain. But it in the end I guess I learned from my mistakes. And you will never get a call from me unless if I'm on fire. And see that'll never happen. 'Cause I'd rather burn to the ground then get saved by a liar's hand, get saved by a liar's hand. So keep the earrings, I don't need them. Maybe give 'em to your girlfriend 'cause what she don't know won't hurt her, yeah. Oh, what she don't know won't hurt. I only thing that I want now is for you to come back and say: "I need you and I miss you and I'm sorry" I think I'd either weakly smile, maybe chuckle to myself because I know my skin has grown thicker. And so I'll open my mouth and say: "You had your chance but now it's just too late. You screwed up and I'm not the one to blame" And I would pay good money to see your facial expression of disbelief maybe mixed with depression but then again these are just selfish daydreams. And you will never get a call from me unless if I'm on fire. And see that'll never happen. 'Cause I'd rather burn to the ground then get saved by a liar's hand, get saved by a liar's hand. So keep the earrings, I don't need them. Maybe give 'em to your girlfriend 'cause what she don't know won't hurt her, yeah. Oh, what she don't know won't hurt.

Truth Lies 04:01
Baby girl knows what it's like to be loved. Knows what it's like to be touched. Knows what it's like to be taken care of. But he, he brings you down, love. He brought me down too. Well, I hope you understand what I'm trying to tell you. 'Cause he acts like you're not even there and then suddenly cares and then suddenly disappears again. 'Cause he, he's using you, dear. Though the reason isn't clear, you gotta get away while you're still young. Well, he shines like gold on a winter morning and makes your heart light in the summertime. He cooks for you and calls you sweetheart, but morning glory, what's the full story? Morning glory, what's the full story? Ask him about honesty. Ask him about faithfulness. Ask him about him and me. Yeah and maybe all of the things that he failed to mention and days and nights he was holding hands with someone new. Somebody who wasn't you. Oh baby girl, can't you see what I'm insinuating? Can't you see what I'm relating? Well, I hope I got you contemplating. 'Cause now, now's the time to realize he's dragged you along for the longest ride and now you gotta let go. And yeah. It's gonna hurt real bad. But no girl deserves that. You poor, poor dear. Look at what he's done to you. Well he promised you the world, 'cause he says he loves you but the words that come out of his mouth are lies. He calls you up and says he's thinking of you, but in the end at night he's in his bed to be satisfied. Ask him about honesty. Ask him about faithfulness. Ask him about him and me. Yeah and maybe all of the things that he failed to mention and days and nights he was holding hands with someone new. Somebody who wasn't you. Is your happiness worth this strife? You're holding on to a feeling that's fading. You will have other loves in your life. So cut the cord. It's just like being born! Ask him about honesty. Ask him about faithfulness. Ask him about him and me. Yeah and maybe all of the things that he failed to mention and days and nights he was holding hands with someone new. Somebody who wasn't you.

The weather reflects my mood. Thunder is the anger booming, lightning is the fear consuming, and raindrops are my tears that roll down my face. Makes me bleed mascara onto your collared shirt. Life just really hurts and I can't take it no more! Well, I wanna be a star - a beaming ball of light, burning bright. Looking down at the world will be my delight and I will shine at the most beautiful time of night! I felt the wind, saw the sea and outlines of the clouds through lightning storms. My heart is torn as to who I wanna be, and what I see in me. And I realize that you had it wrong - my words, my hopes, and my thoughts. Thought I lived a year for something and found out it meant nothing 'cause I knew you. This house is a dungeon. And I'm being controlled, I'm getting so old and lately I have been so afraid. Well what if I can't escape? Well I don't wanna be saved! And just like any captain, I'll go down with this ship. Watch me as I hold my breath, watch me as I tense up my chest. Well I'd rather be a martyr than die like all the rest! I felt the wind, saw the sea and outlines of the clouds through lightning storms. My heart is torn as to who I wanna be, and what I see in me. And I realize that you had it wrong - my words, my hopes, and my thoughts. Thought I lived a year for something and found out it meant nothing 'cause I knew you. I wanna live, I wanna die! And sometimes I don't even wanna try to do anything. I get so apathetic as to who I wanna be, and what I see in me And I realize that you had it wrong - my words, my hopes, and my thoughts. Thought I lived a year for something and found out it meant nothing 'cause I knew you. Because I knew you, my life's been changed...for good.

Oh summer, don't go! I've been meaning to do so much more, but it slipped through my fingers. Oh summer, I feel so low. And using apostrophe is the only way I have to show how much you mean to me. Oh summer, I am weak. My knees are shaking at the thought of my future catastrophes. Oh summer, I am beat. How could you expect me to go on? I simply will not move my feet. But autumn pushes you away. And the wind and the leaves make me walk forward to the rhythm of my unsure heart, 'til it stops. And what happened yesterday is a sweet awkwardness that comes with adolescence. And no matter what I say, I can't seem to shake - Oh summer, reconsider. Imagine how I'll be in winter with a coldness you could never possibly know. Oh summer, was it I? I'm sorry. I know it's your time, but maybe you could persuade Mother Nature to linger on in my heart. But autumn pushes you away. And the wind and the leaves make me walk forward to the rhythm of my unsure heart, 'til it stops. And what happened yesterday is a sweet awkwardness that comes with adolescence. And no matter what I say, I can't seem to shake - And what happened yesterday is a sweet awkwardness that comes with adolescence. And no matter what I say, I can't seem to shake - I can't seem to shake - what you do to me.
