                am
I see you seething
           f
for the one who let their lips fool you
and you are steeping
in the feelings that you thought were true

               g             am
and they blew you away
             g                             fm
but you knew they couldn’t stay

you wake each morning
getting ready for an hourly wage
there’s no forewarning
when it’s time for you to take the stage

and it plagues you to wait
on somebody who lives so far away

                   c                 g
but you can take all the time you need
                 am                     f
to find the words to ask for apologies
I hope you find the closure that you seek
‘cuz you mean so very much to me

        f
and i know what you’re feeling 
              g
I felt this before
             f
when a friend comes in
                        g
and locks your doors
and I wish I could shield you
from all of this pain
but they’ll take and they’ll take and they’ll take
and they’ll take your heart away

but you can take all the time you need
to find the words to ask for apologies
I hope you find the closure that you seek
‘cuz you mean so very much to me
I hope you find the closure that you seek
‘cuz you are so very lovely and dear to me

"I Hate Getting Dumped!" OUT JULLY 25

Lyrics:
I should be going out and kissing lots of pretty strangers
But I’m not
Should be celebrating independence from monogamous relations
But I don’t wanna
Should be working out getting my revenge body
Should be working on my taxes making lots of money
Doing anything but wondering who you’ve moved on with
Who have you moved on with?
I don’t wanna so I

I’m rotting in the corner of my room
Recalling how you held my shoulders tight
Said it can take a long time but now you
Think you’ve finally found the one who fits your life
And I feel stupid
I feel stupid and ugly
I feel stupid
I feel stupid and ugly

I should be travelling the world and connecting with nature
But I’m not
Should be revelling in being hot and single in my stupid twenties
But I don’t feel hot
Should be calling up my friends pretend that life’s a movie
Should be starting up a fire for the stuff you gave me
Doing anything but wondering why you don’t want me
Why don’t you want me?
Why don’t you want me I

I’m rotting in the corner of my room
Recalling how you held my shoulders tight
Said it can take a long time but now you
Think you’ve finally found the one who fits your life
And I feel stupid
I feel stupid and ugly
I feel stupid
I feel stupid and ugly

And I can picture it now
You two are saying your vows
The logic doesn’t work out
But it worked out for you
Maybe by then I’ll be fine
Right now I’m stuck in a spiral like
Why did you lift me up so high just to slide me back down

I’m rotting in the corner of my room
Recalling how you held my shoulders tight
Said it can take a long time but now you
Think you’ve finally found the one who fits your life
And I’m rotting in the corner of my room
Romanticizing our dysregulated highs
Said it can take a long time but now you
Think you finally found your holy blessed wife
And I feel stupid
I feel stupid and ugly
I feel stupid
I feel stupid and ugly

(I feel stupid and ugly)
(stupid and ugly)

hear the morning break / feel the calm of day, it's okay / remember what you said / before i let you drift away? / cuz i stayed up all night / you left me questioning your nature / well i'd like to know, cuz you threatened me, are you gonna leave? or shall i let it go? // torture, power through the pain / pleasure, this is just the game we play // will you let me learn? / haven't i earned your faith? / well something's got to give / i cannot live with the heartache / well i'd like to know, who'd you go to see, are you feeling free? // torture, power through the pain / pleasure, this is just the game we play // torture, relish in the pain / power, take pleasure in the games we play
