LYRICS:
loving you was going downstream
running at branches and sticks in between
hiding from teeth of a monster king
i’m not your princess, don’t rescue me
i don’t need saving

i don’t know where i should start
don’t wanna lose you in the dark
and you said that time will heal
but the clock’s run dry, i can’t stand still
tell me how to mend this broken heart

i still have the paintings that we did
the ones we made when we were kids
your sentences stained my lower ribs
they compliment the lies i let you burn into my skin
they’re poisoned pages

i don’t know where i should start
don’t wanna lose it in the dark
and they say to hold my breath
but it’s been three years, my lungs are dead
tell me how to fix this broken heart

one step forward, two jumps back
break the rules and you’re done
i wasn’t the girl that you loved
but i wrote in that i was the one
i’m not the best with words
i know it sounds cliché
but you did wonders with a pen
it’s a shame you threw it away, no

and i don’t know where i should start
don’t wanna get lost in the dark
oh no, and she says to count to ten
but i’ve been to hell and back again
tell me how could she love this broken heart
/
i don’t know where i can go
don’t wanna drive a lonely road
and we all say we’re quick to mend
until darkness falls and we descend

tell me how to fix a heart that broke
don’t let me fall with my demons down below

LYRICS:
take my hand
it’s taken me years to ask for yours
i am fine with where I am
but half of me’s here and half of me’s home

don’t say you’ll fill the space in my heart
cuz I am whole
but sometimes i like how it feels to fall apart
and heal on my own

but i’m so tired
of trying to turn the tide around you
you say we’re fine
but there’s things you say that i know can’t be true
but i’m still choosing you

and take my heart
it’s taken me time to tape it up
i am finding out the hard way
that the ocean i saw in you has dried up

don’t say a thing that could warp my view 
of the man i know
but sometimes i see the poison in you
and i think it’s home

but i’m so tired
of trying to turn the tide around for you
you just say we’re fine
but there’s some things you say that i know can’t be true
but i’m still choosing you

boy it’s true, yeah if i knew
better i’d
turn away and run
but pretty soon, my little moon
will collide
with your Two-Faced sun
so should i run?
hey, should i go?
hey, do you love me?
cuz i still don’t know
it’s unusual

but i’m so tired
yeah, i’m so tired
of trying to make my stars revolve around you
you just say i’m fine
but honey i know me much better than you do
but i’m still choosing you

Choosing You

LYRICS:
i’m the one that’s got you in your head
let me warm up the left side of your bed
i’m a hard one to find, you said
then why does my heart feel dead
/
i can comfort, i can clean
i can make you fall in love with me
i can get your knees to feel so weak
but i feel nothing

i forgot how to feel my heart, oh
we’re not as happy as we say we are
oh baby, i’ll play my part
i’ll be your movie star

i’m so in love
with the thought of
being happy with the body in my bed
i’m so unkind
i’ll make you mine
oh but it’s only in your … head

you’re the one that’s got me in your hand
suffocate all the voices in my head
stop my breathing in your bed
ignore that my heart feels …. dead
/
honey you’re just too naive
you forgot what whiskey does to me
i’ll pretend your body makes me weak
but i feel nothing

and is it odd to think that we’ll be just fine
take precaution when you see bottles of wine
i get lost, i don’t see home in your eyes
pop the cork and wait for the blood to dry

i’m so in love
with the thought of
being happy with the body in my bed
i’m so unkind
i’ll make you mine
oh but it’s only in your head
/
I’m not in love
I’ve said too much
i’m more  happy with nobody in my bed
i’m so unkind
i’ll call you mine
oh, but it’s only in your head
			
is it odd to think that we’ll be just fine
take precaution when you see bottles of wine
i get lost, i don’t see home in your eyes
pop the cork and wait for the love to dry

LYRICS:
wish that I could tell you how
I only wanna heal to make you proud
I fuck up simple sentences
Spilling “sorry” on the carpet
And hot water never gets it out
/
It’s hardest when I’m alone
But I'm used to it, so it feels like home
Play it cool when I’m in front of you
But every night it’s something new
And bad habits, they'll eat me whole
	
And they’ve got me consuming blood
Ice water and chewing gum
But it’s all okay, I feel young
I'm thinner than I ever was

Hey, oh, I’m falling
Oh, I’m cold
Hey, oh, I’m calling
It’s habitual
Hey, oh, I'm falling, oh

wish that I could sober up
Got me thinking that I’m not enough
Every night I’m missing you
But I can’t breathe fire without the fuel
And bad habits, they’ll rip me up
/
The devil is right on time
I’m used to her, I’m feeling fine
Yeah she’s a killer queen
Murder in my magazines
Don’t stop me till you see my spine

And they’ve got me consuming Vogue
Iced out, chewed up, bit my soul
But my body thinks you let me go
I like it when you’re in control

Hey, oh, I’m falling
Oh, i’m cold
Hey, oh, i’m calling
It’s habitual
Ah, no, I'm falling, no

Habitual

LYRICS:

(fuck!)

i don’t wanna see you
oh, i’ve gotta leave you
all you do is leave me second guessing
she’s an evil woman
get out while you still can
pleasing to the eye but leaves you broken

oh i love your figure
on this hand of mine
i try to leave but then i taste your wine
i want your liquor
on these lips of mine
got me drunk on the drugs in your waistline

you’ve got a hold on me
that i can’t control
your ice is in my teeth
so i can taste your soul
oh, it’s all tongue and cheek
so how could i know
now i can’t find the heart that you stole

maybe I should calm down
close my feminine mouth
all it does is get me into trouble
i’m a sullen figure
take you out to dinner
pay the check, but say we’re just casual

oh i love how i
can make you feel divine
you see how i get tipsy off your wine
i want your liquor
on these lips of mine
got me buzzed on the drugs in your bloodline

you’ve got a hold on me
that i can’t control
your ice is in my teeth
so i can taste your soul
oh, it’s all tongue and cheek
so how could i know
now i can’t find the heart that you stole
/
you’ve got a hold on me
that i won’t control
your taste is bittersweet
so i buy what you sold
oh, it’s all tongue and cheek
so how could i go
now I can’t find the heart that you-
can’t find the heart that you-
no, I can’t find the heart that you stole

LYRICS:
I’m stuck inside my room
Tried not to think of you
But you keep coming around
Am I going insane
Oh you’re inside my brain
Like it’s your own hometown
/
You say just one more night
I hear it all the time
It’s just a part of the game
You need someone to hold
You say I’m always cold
I’m freezing in your flame

Oh where’s the medicine to get me outta this one
Another episode I can’t afford to skip on
You call me pretty, then you kill me in your palm
But he’s an angel when the halo is on

Da, da da da da da, must be nice
Da da da da da, faking kind
Da da da da da, you’re so nice
Woah, you’re faking kind

Been with me since the start
A high school sweetheart
Should I apologize
I’m never gonna sleep
Here comes the Reckoning
You’re stepping on my eyes
/
Got secrets in your tongue
I know you’re not the one
You love to turn me blue
Maybe it’s all a game
And I’m just gettin' played
Just another year or two

Oh where’s the medicine to get me outta this one
Another party where I end up on the front lawn
Just call her pretty and she’ll fit inside your palm
Say I’m an angel, but the halo is gone

Da, da da da da da, must be nice
Da da da da da, faking kind
Da da da da da, you’re so nice
Woah, you’re faking kind

Oh where’s the angel that’ll get me outta this one
Another Son of David leaving me before dawn
You call me pretty, say that you’re the lamb of God
Yeah you’re an idol, but the kingdom is gone

Da, da da da da da, must be nice
Da da da da da, faking kind
Da da da da da, you’re so nice
Woah
/
(oh where’s the angel that’ll get me outta this one)
Da, da da da da da, must be nice
(another Son of David leaving me before dawn)
Da da da da da, faking kind
(you call me pretty, say that you’re the lamb of God)
Da da da da da, I’m alright
another Son of David leaving me before dawn)
Woah, I’m faking kind

LYRICS:
so here i stand
a crooked sword, a heavy hand
tryna swing at the skin i see
torn back, stolen spine
stab my chest, see inside
it’s a war with the air i breathe

don’t tell me i’m too young to
hate who i’ve become
don’t tell me i’m too pretty
to feel numb, oh

oh woah, i can feel your eyes
oh, you’re staring slow, thinking i ain’t wise, oh

so, here i am
a broken cheek from pale men
tryna swing at the skin on me
torn cheek, swollen eye
push my chest, i don’t mind
it’s a war if i disagree

don’t tell me i’m too young to
hate the thought of you, mm
don’t tell me i’m too pretty
to get bruised

oh woah, i can feel your eyes
oh, you’re staring slow, thinking i ain’t wise
oh woah, i can feel your eyes
oh, you’re staring slow, thinking i ain’t wise, oh

your kingdom’s falling on you
but you just say that it ain’t true
you built a wall with bad glue
it’s gonna tumble down on you
your kingdom’s falling on you
but you just say that it ain’t true
you built a wall with bad glue
it’s gonna tumble down on you

oh woah, i can feel your eyes
oh, you’re staring slow, thinking i ain’t wise
oh woah, i can feel your eyes
oh, you’re staring slow, thinking i ain’t wise, oh

your kingdom’s falling on you
but you just say that ain’t true
you built a wall with bad glue
it’s gonna tumble down on you.
