I'm sorry if I let you down
I'm finally finding out the worst parts of myself
And I can be hard to be around
And I give excuses but maybe I need some help

But I hate it when you look at me like that
Slamming doors and making out that I've come crawling back

I could be better
I could be strong enough for you
I could be happy
I could be laughing when you do
I could take these words right off the page
And claim it all as my mistake
Yeah I could be better
But you could too

You told me nothing's bad enough
That I will always be the one thing that you love
All the fighting, all the crying, all the trying to be us
Well you'll never give it up

But I hate it when you look at me like that
I give you everything I have and everything I lack

But I could be better
I could be strong enough for you
I could be happy
I could be laughing when you do
I could take these words right off the page
And claim it all as my mistake
Yeah I could be better
But you could too

We've been told before
Not to make a scene
Did so much shouting out
When I was seventeen

But I hated when you looked at me like that
I'm sorry for the things I said, I wish I took them back

And I hope that I'm better
I hope that I'm strong enough for you
I think that I'm happy
Now that I'm laughing when you do
I could erase these words if they make you hurt
But maybe that's not how this works
Cause I could be better
And you could too
Yeah I could be better
And you could too
Yeah I could be better
And you could too

I Could Be Better

Lyrics:

I couldn't be what you wanted
But you weren't there when I promised
That I'd never leave someone honest
But I did it, I did it, I did it again

I hate the mistakes that I'm making
Been sick to my stomach all day, yeah
And nobody knows that I'm faking
But I did it, I did it, I did it again

And it's four in the morning
And I'm wide awake again
Cause we're not talking
Don't wanna know how this one ends

The chemicals in my head are starting to mess up again
The fabric of my thoughts unravelling just like I said
But you wouldn't believe it
If I told you I'm different
And this one is gonna hurt

I've given myself a new limit
If this ain't the one then I'm finished
Cause getting out is harder than being in it
And if I do it, then I'll do it, I'll do it again

And it's four in the morning
I'm thinking of needing some help
Cause you're not talking
And I'm over hating here myself

The chemicals in my head are starting to mess up again
The fabric of my thoughts unravelling just like I said
But you wouldn't believe it
If I told you I'm different
And this one is gonna hurt
Yeah this one is gonna hurt

And I swear it's not you
It's always me
I swear it's not you
It's always me
Yeah I swear it's not you
It's always me
I swear it's not you
It's always me

The chemicals in my head are starting to mess up again
The fabric of my thoughts unravelling just like I said
But you wouldn't believe it
If I told you I'm different
And this one
Yeah this one
This one is gonna hurt

This one
Yeah this one
This one is gonna hurt

Chemicals

You're taking off my dirty shoes
There's something 'bout the way you're trying
Something new
You left your anger in the car
We never thought we'd get this far
Trying to break through

And even though I'm always on your side
I'm thinking of the mess we made tonight

But every time you think of leaving
Can I give you one more reason?
Even if it's make believing
I'll say it again
When you can't stop the bleeding
You know it takes time for healing
Gotta get a hold of your feelings
So I'll say it again
Don't let this be the end
Don't let this be the end

I never wanted more than this
You gave me everything I'd die for
Now what I lie for
Picking apart the way you move
I've seen it all but is this you
Losing your hold on?

And even though I'm always on your mind
There's something in the way you fall behind

So every time you think of leaving
Can I give you one more reason?
Even if it's make believing
I'll say it again
When you can't stop the bleeding
You know it takes time for healing
Gotta get a hold of your feelings
So I'll say it again
Don't let this be the end
Don't let this be the end

Swear I'll be yours for always
And always means forever
And if you go away you'll take the half of me that's better
I know you're like the seasons
Changing with the weather
And sometimes I get scared of all the things you won't remember
So I'll say it (Again)

But every time you think of leaving
Can I give you one more reason?
Even if it's make believing
I'll say it again
When you can't stop the bleeding
You know it takes time for healing
Gotta get a hold of your feelings
So I'll say it again
Don't let this be the end
Don't let this be the end
Don't let this be the end

Say It Again - Denney X Pop Spirit

I don't like when you call me up at night
Just to tell me that you're fine
You've been healing up your mind
And I don't like when you crawl into my bed
Cause you're feeling so much better
And you need me now instead

Somehow you and I got twisted up in this together
And I'd be lying if I said I didn't like it ever

But what am I supposed to do
With everything that we've been through
And all the second chances
I won't miss your answers
Cause every time you bring me up
I know that nothing's built to last
And I don't think you'll blame me
But I can't be your maybe

Your words fall like a burden on my back
And I'm tired of the weight
And all the things that you don't say
You don't see how you change in front of me
You're the hardest one to read
Why'd you always let me leave?

Somehow I got caught up in this game of imitation
I don't doubt your issues, I just wish you overcame them

But what am I supposed to do
With everything that we've been through
And all the second chances
I won't miss your answers
Cause every time you bring me up
I know that nothing's built to last
And I don't think you'll blame me
But I can't be your maybe

I'm the one who gave a damn
And stuck around when things got bad
I took it all for what we had
But I knew, I knew you'd break it
I tried to give you all of me
And some might say that's all on me
I don't know what came over me
Cause I knew, I knew you'd break it

What am I supposed to do
With everything that we've been through
And all the second chances
I won't miss your answers
Cause every time you bring me up
I know that nothing's built to last
And I don't think you'll blame me
But I can't be your

I Can't Be Your Maybe

I'll be on your doorstep
Breathing in for ten
Staring at the floor like
You said I do sometimes
I don't wanna see you
Just wanna be near you
While I'm getting over
This thing we're calling closure

I've had too much time to think about why
We couldn't survive, it's just you and I
The measures we take, the moments we fake
The lies that we make, stolen from pages
I read once got in the way
I know life don't work that way

So I'll be on your doorstep
Try my best to forget
Biting my nails like
You said I do all the time
I don't wanna see you
Don't wanna think about you either
Just trying to get over
This thing we're calling closure

Remember that night when both of us cried?
I'll always live by that look in your eyes
The secrets we'd keep, the hours we'd sleep
And all that we'd need was all the between
And I thought love would keep us safe
But I know life don't work that way

So I'll be on your doorstep (so I'll be on your doorstep)
Holding onto what's left (holding onto what's left)
Hoping that you're in there
Like a force field keeping us together
(keeping us together)
I don't wanna see you (I don't wanna see you)
Just wanna know if you're finding it hard too
(finding it hard)
Is this really over? (is this really over)
Just because we're calling closure?
(Just because we're calling closure)
Is this really over? (is this really over)
Just because we're calling closure?
(Just because we're calling it)
Is this really over? (is this really over)
Just because we're calling closure?

I'll be on your doorstep
Breathing in for ten
Staring at the floor like
You said I do sometimes
I don't wanna see you
Just wanna be near you
While I'm getting over
This thing we're calling closure

Closure

I know you said not to ask you anymore
How you’re feeling
And if you mean it
I know you said not to come knocking at your door
In the evening
But I’m not sleeping

Now and then I think that I’m doing fine enough without you
And then it hits me
It sits inside my chest planning my demise until I see you
And then it frees me

I hope to god that I forget who you are
‘Cause if I don’t then I’ll probably go insane
I’ll stand outside your bedroom window in the dark
Trying to recreate the feelings that we made
And if I listen really closely
I might just hear you only
And no one else who’s climbed into your heart
And that’s a start

I know you told me not to call you anymore
So I deleted your number from my phone 
But I’m sorry if it’s etched into my brain
I can’t remove it
I know it’s stupid 

And it’s impossible to tell you how I feel
‘Cause you don’t answer
You ignore it
I think you’re tired of all the trouble that I’ve caused
I think you’re done
I can sense it

So I hope to god that I forget who you are
‘Cause if I don’t then I’ll probably go insane
I’ll stand outside your bedroom window in the dark
Trying to recreate the feelings that we made

And I know that it’s unfair
When I ask you if she’s there
And it’s not that I don’t like her by the way
I just think she’s over friendly
You could let her down gently
Or tell her that you’re on a different page

I hope to god that I forget who you are
‘Cause if I don’t then I’ll probably go insane
I’ll stand outside your bedroom window in the dark
Trying to recreate the feelings that we made
And if I listen really closely
I might just hear you only
And no one else who’s climbed into your heart
And that’s a start

That's A Start

On the floor
Surrounded by all of your words
Ripped up and edges burned
Taped up and folded back together 
Honestly
I couldn’t fault you back then
Maybe we should’ve stayed friends
But how could I wish you away

And I’m starting to think there was something that you could’ve done
But you paper the cracks and you kiss me like that 'til you’ve won

So why are my eyes still closed?
Why is my heart still broke?
What do I do to get this feeling off my chest?
I’m watching the walls fall in
Can’t get this off my skin
It burns and it bleeds, I need to be without you babe
But you promised me that everything would start making sense
Yeah you promised me that I would never be left with less

Tidal wave
You hit like a tidal wave
And I always get swept away
But I can breathe underwater
Who are you
To love me the way you do
You play in this game
And you don’t feel ashamed
But you chose to play for two

And I’m starting to think there was something that you could’ve done
But you paper the cracks and you kiss me like that 'til you’ve won

So why are my eyes still closed?
Why is my heart still broke?
What do I do to get this feeling off my chest?
I’m watching the walls fall in
Can’t get this off my skin
It burns and it bleeds, I need to be without you babe

Oh and I hit the ground running
I should have seen all of this coming
Based on your past
But I don’t think that fast
And I couldn’t change anything
No I wouldn’t change anything

So why are my eyes still closed?
Why is my heart still broke?
What do I do to get this feeling off my chest?
I’m watching the walls fall in
Can’t get this off my skin
It burns and it bleeds, I need to be without you babe
But you promised me that everything would start making sense
Yeah you promised me that I would never be left with less

Less

Denney - Who We Are - Lyrics

In another life
I think you and I
Could be perfect together
For the hell of it
Why don’t we admit?
Cause it’s not like forever

And we’ll keep it friendly
But not overwhelming
And someday I think it won’t hurt
You’ll be an artist
And I’ll find it hardest
To wake up and know my own worth

And I guess life goes on
Even if you’re long gone
I know you’re not what I want
I just miss the way you loved me

All the little things
That you gave to me
A paper necklace on string
I’ll keep you in a box
With other things I lost
You were so good to me

And I’ll think about you
Whenever I want to
Except on the days that it stings
One day I might get
Myself in a nice dress
And bump into you on the street

But I guess life goes on
They said it so can’t be wrong
I know you’re not what I want
I just miss the way you loved

I know I let you down
But in three years from now
When I call you to see how you are
Cause I’m lonely as hell
And you might be as well
Will you tell me it’s just who we are?

And I guess life goes on
Even if you’re long gone
I know you’re not what I want
I just miss the way you loved
Me
Me

Who We Are

✨ I make music of the soft and mellow variety

Denney
