Sighs (Acoustic)

Lyrics

My guard is up
But my pulse is racing
In to the night
Deep in my gut
I feel butterflies
They sense I'm terrified
So will you call my bluff
Or will I keep chasing
The thought of love
Self sabotaging
My every hope
Day drunk and terrified
I'm just a waste of time
Can't get you off my mind
I'm still the self depreciating kid
That gets left behind.

I Met A Girl On Tinder And She Called Me A Narcissist

I let your last words sink in
and I’ve had nightmares since.
I’ve had plenty time to recover
but it’s still registering.
I’ll keep an eye on Dad
until he settles down.
I’ll try to make you proud
even though you’re not around.

So we shared a final drink
and I’ve seen no one since.
Left to my own ways.
A stranger in my skin.
So I’m crossing off your list;
I’m making good time with it
but my self-destructive ways
have taken their toll on me.

Could you hear the sighs
of your friends and loved ones by your side?
How they wished that you survived.
There’s a void in time
in which my mind has lived
since you died.
I said I’m okay
but I lied.

And I know you taught me more than that.
I know you’d want me fighting back
and I know you’d want to see me with a home.
But I don’t know where home is now,
I’ve lost my way.
I’ve lost my fight.	    
I’ve lost my keys,
for me that door is closed.

Sighs

I’ve noticed that your concentration is faltering
Are you staring at the ceiling or the curtains?
I’ve felt the days turn in to weeks, you’ve kept your distance
A single word is hard to explain

Tell me where it hurts?
cause I don’t want to make things worse
I know you’re not fine
Nearly most of the time
Tell me where it hurts

Where it hurts
Where It hurts
Where it hurts
Where it hurts

Where It Hurts

Oh, won’t you lay here again
It’s getting late why don’t you spend the night
I don’t understand why you and I
Can’t do this again
I feel you pull the band aid off
Overwhelmed, my panic sets in
And it sets in

“You’re not alone”
That’s what I’m told
By all these books
And tv show
So why’s everyone leaving?   
It’s how it goes
I sit alone
Overthinking every word
I’ve ever spoke
Just trying to find some meaning.

Oh, When will we meet again?
Will we head in to a cul de sac
Knowing there’s no way to go but back, 
To the start, 
Redrawing all the memories to page
From head and heart
Falling apart

slow down
And just say goodnight, ‘cause I’m 
so tired of these long goodbyes
(I’m so tired) 
slow down, just say goodnight
‘cause I-
I’m so fucking tired, But I’m alright

Cul De Sac

Live through your new friends
Drink for the weekends
You black out every night
Just to find a disguise for the truth
The problem is you.

You got in my head
Mixed signals remain
Can’t sleep in my bed
You drive me insane
I trusted you
I trusted you

Say what you’re thinking
There’s a first for everything
I can’t rid from my mind
All those times you denied all the proof 
The truth is the problem is you.

Oh, so loud
Your lips were bound
To be found out
 
You’ve been gone a long time
Now’s just the first time
You’ve been found out
