And I'm sorry that I said I would never let go I never got the chance for it, I hope you know Please don't take it the wrong way It was just a mistake I know I messed it up this time Won't bore you with the story or the messy details Cause you know how it went How it got derailed Now I know I'm being selfish when I ask you this But can we at least still be friends? A 21st century romance with a cliche ending Met up in a Discord It was so impending After it happened I wasn't even the same gender I wish we could have at least stayed until December Remember how it all used to be simple back then On a call, hearing the same song again and again I hope I'm not the only one who missed it all I hope you're also missing me You got me talking all about it And I’ve got no doubt about it I gotta be honest with you That one Smiths song you loved I hate it Pintsized little drops of love Then likewise And it’s not enough Go clockwise Taking different sides At least I got the debt paid off Just work it out, please? We can make it through, please? And a million different words that didn’t make you stay I gotta move on I gotta find a way out Maybe in my next life, I’ll know better Just enjoy it You’re along for the ride Can’t help it This is who we are inside Lately I’ve been trying to stay sane in my head And I’m singing this instead I never could’ve wondered - why oh why Should’ve never promised such a simple lie When you were gone, I had to figure out for myself Why “I love you” is so insidious And I'm sorry that I said I would never let go I better never talk about it Just keep my mouth shut about it And all these memories in me It’s just gone like that Yeah, it’s gone Pintsized little drops of love Then likewise And it’s not enough Go clockwise Taking different sides At least I got the debt paid off Just work it out, please? We can make it through, please? And a million different words that didn’t make you say I gotta move on I gotta find a way out Maybe in my next life, I’ll know better I'm sorry that I said I would never let go

So the year went by And nothing has even changed The world is messed up in a way that's not funny And I'm still missing you and still lonely Isn't it getting hot out there? I wouldn't know I'm always inside I don't wanna watch the world burn down Will you please light up the setting Cause it's getting cold in here Please hold me I don't know if I can keep living like this endlessly And it's eighty miles above you You're still out of line Oh, please don't let me go um, i walked down the streets of manhattan looking for you it was late and i felt unsafe i would have left this as a message but i dont know your number so im just hoping to see you in the crowd so i can say Please hold me I don't know if I can keep living like this endlessly And it's eighty miles above you You're still out of line Oh, please don't let me go Letting go is the part that's the hardest Winter's here and I'm almost done So I'll play a Beach Boys song and enjoy the show Just never let me go

The Tide 02:53
I saw you slipping past through the door I followed but I fell on the floor But you aren't the type to run away I still have much to say But every time I try to talk, you never stay (Let go) I see you everyday I see you everyday I'm never coming back I'm leaving my things for you to pack And I'm not the type to run away But things keep going array And every time I miss you It never stays Cause you're still in my way (Let go) So stay out of my way I see you every day

The Scene 03:01
I saw you standing in the crowd I couldn't remember your name But I couldn't forget your face You said you'd never turn around Never And I will never let you go this time Not this time Holding onto everything Memories are such a fickle thing I don't know where it went I swear I used to know it so clearly Now I can't forget these echos The stains of what I used to know better I don't wanna miss you But in the end you're a relic from my past It was the end of the world as we know it We were two scared little girls Clinging onto each other for warmth And now it's 2020 Or twenty-twenty-something The world is crumbling in real time, in front of us And we're a lifetime separated from each other So how is it that we met again Holding onto everything Memories are such a fickle thing I don't know where it went I swear I used to know it so clearly And the scene is set in motion We're passing by each other just like that Without a glance It's like you didn't even recognize me in the slightest

The Show 04:00
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle Life is a maze and love is a riddle I don't know where to go, can't do it alone, I've tried And I don't know why Slow it down, make it stop Or else my heart is going to pop 'Cause it's too much, yeah, it's a lot To be something I'm not I'm a fool out of love 'Cause I just can't get enough I'm just a little bit caught in the middle Life is a maze and love is a riddle I don't know where to go, can't do it alone, I've tried And I don't know why I am just a little girl lost in the moment I'm so scared, but I don't show it I can't figure it out It's bringing me down, I know I've got to let it go And just enjoy the show The sun is hot in the sky Just like a giant spotlight The people follow the sign And synchronize in time It's a joke nobody knows They've got a ticket to that show Yeah, I'm just a little bit caught in the middle Life is a maze and love is a riddle I don't know where to go, can't do it alone, I've tried And I don't know why I am just a little girl lost in the moment I'm so scared, but I don't show it I can't figure it out It's bringing me down, I know I've got to let it go And just enjoy the show Just enjoy the show I'm just a little bit caught in the middle Life is a maze and love is a riddle I don't know where to go; can't do it alone, I've tried And I don't know why I am just a little girl lost in the moment I'm so scared, but I don't show it I can't figure it out It's bringing me down, I know I've got to let it go And just enjoy the show Just enjoy the show Just enjoy the show I want my money back I want my money back I want my money back Just enjoy the show I want my money back I want my money back I want my money back Just enjoy the show

Body Fell 03:33
Fell out of my body And you put me back I’m not gonna ask how it got here so quickly My mind is being detached My body’s all out of match You’re just the one that I needed Fell down into love That I didn’t want Baby, baby I’m a natural addict Maybe I was just never meant for you Save me Would you hand me the verdict Can I ever be good enough to you? We’re spending hours It’s like we were born to talk I could hear you going on for hours But sometimes I don’t really get what you mean You say you love me Trust me, you tell me But I have never learned to trust when someone gives me love They never come true That includes you too Baby, baby I’m a natural addict Maybe I was just never meant for you Save me Would you hand me the verdict Can I ever be good enough to you? You fell asleep while we were calling I listened as your voice went silent I couldn’t wake you up So I just closed my eyes I know I’ll get used to this Pretending that I kissed your cheeks And it will always be a dream I started to cry I’m thinking of the ways it could end Cause it will always be a dream I never wanna hurt you! I never wanna hurt you! Please let it only be a dream Will you ever wanna hurt me? Will you ever wanna hurt me? Baby, baby I’m a natural addict Maybe I was just never meant for you Save me Would you hand me the verdict Am I ever good enough? (Good enough) Can I ever be good enough to you? I never wanna hurt you

I thought you knew me That you understood me That we were the same And you were the one for me But it's a lie Not by you, but me No one can ever truly know How anyone feels How anyone thinks That's why you have to speak up and tell them Th at I don't know what you mean Please stop using these words I know it's not what you meant (Light it up, baby, there's the whole night to spend) You know that's not the truth I know, I've seen it That wasn't what I meant Yeah, and I mean it I've said it then and now Just get the point now Please, just get the point now What else can I even say Art is not a valid way to live At best, reminds you of what you did And it’s seeping in the floors now (Please get the point now) They can never tell you what you meant So don’t be afraid to vent And open up your floors now (Please get the point now) You know that's not the truth I know, I've seen it That wasn't what I meant Yeah, and I mean it I've said it then and now Just get the point now Please, just get the point now What else can I even say

Don't wanna say I love you Won't admit that I have biases I wanna claim to hate you Find myself with words all gone, priceless Don't wanna say I love you Wanna steal your soul in a single kiss Must be another way to Disappear and not have to deal with this Was there ever any doubt on the matter? Doubt on calming matter Was there ever any doubt in your soft heart Fall apart! Were you always fucking lying inside? All of my dreams prey for you to kill for a thrill ride?

Narcoleptic 02:35
Baby I’m so sorry It’s not even funny Got me thinking God, there must be something better than this Put up a fight with me, please Why don’t you just go up and leave I was fucking stupid Might be narcoleptic I’ve been losing sleep And I’ve been hearing things in the dark Will you come save me, oh please Or are you just gonna leave Darling, I’m fine Don’t ask me twice You don’t have to worry I’ll be alright Get through the night And live through the cloudy skies So I’ll be okay, it’s alright Dear, I’ll be fine Sorry for the sight If I can sleep it off, I’ll be fine I close my eyes It’s another sleepless night And in the dark I hear your voice I get angry sometimes I’m sorry I yell at you You know I don’t mean it Maybe I’m just fucked in the head I think we make each other worse But I hope you will leave me first I know I’m abusive Really, I’m just bad for you Even I admit it There is something better for you I told you it’s ok to go So why do you ask if I’m sure Darling, I’m fine Don’t ask me twice You don’t have to worry I’ll be alright Get through the night And live through the cloudy skies So I’ll be ok, it’s alright Dear, I’ll be fine Sorry for the sight If I can sleep it off, I’ll be fine I close my eyes It’s another sleepless night And I’ll be ok without you

Another day of wishing that I could sing like you do I know I shouldn't say that I know that you can talk to anybody that you want It still fucks me up inside (Oh darling, I know that it’s alright) But please don't let me go Just let me say I love you so Please don't go home I couldn't help you Just said I love you I could've held you Instead I yelled at you I know I hurt you And you hurt me too Is it so hard to call me your girlfriend? And when I leave and die in shame Will you be there to sing my name I want you to write my story Then maybe we won’t have to fucking argue all the time And we’ll survive past all this (Oh darling, I know that we’ll be fine) But please don't let me go Just let me say I love you so Please don't go home I couldn't help you Just said I love you I could've held you Instead I yelled at you I know I hurt you And you hurt me too Is it so hard to call me your girlfriend?

The Dream 03:39
I wanna hold you by the hand I wanna hold you tight and never let go Surely then All the scary things will go away And we'll be fine Dear god, we're freezing in this weather Let's curl up naked in our bed together I wanna learn to not be scared of you or me or this world So Baby, let's get inside and never be afraid of this I can make you a hot drink and we can snuggle in bliss We can watch stupid videos and laugh away the night Don't be sad, we'll be alright This world is fucked and we may not survive the coming days But darling, what's that got to do with us and your sweet gaze? Let's sing a song I'll play the chords and you can sing the lines "Two girls and three chords" It's fine We never asked for this But this is what we got Let's make the best of what we got in our lives All I know for sure is That you are by my side And nothing else will ever matter to us Let's get inside the blankets, darling I think it's -12 degrees out there It's like the world is freezing up And all your warmth is all there is It's been a bad year - a worse winter I am so absolutely terrified I know I don't admit that often But with you, it's always fine So Baby, let's get inside and never be afraid of this I can make you a hot drink and we can snuggle in bliss We can watch stupid videos and laugh away the night Don't be sad, we'll be alright This world is fucked and we may not survive the coming days But darling, what's that got to do with us and your sweet gaze? Let's sing a song I'll play the chords and you can sing the lines "Two girls and three chords" It's fine We never asked for this But this is what we got Let's make the best of what we got in our lives All I know for sure is That you are by my side And nothing else will ever matter to us
