i just discovered you and im genuinely like? WOW YOUR MUSIC IS BEAUTIFUL

I'm spilling red wine on my bed
I'm taking photos and hitting send
In the blue light glow
At 11:59
Mmm
And my glass broke at the stem
I'm soaked in cheap merlot again
As the world keeps on spinning
Just outside

At midnight
The comedown is quick and cruel and light
Another year settles heavy over me
Over me
What is 21 good for?
Other than a pass through the front door
To all the shit I've been doing since 18
18
"Good thing you've got a sense of humor"
I say to myself in the mirror
Mmm
Happy birthday to me

In the morning I'll go for a drive
And pretend to know why
I'm throwing punches
At my scrappy self-esteem
Mmm
I say to my mom, "I'm caught in the crossfire,
I'm teetering on the tightwire"
She says,
"It was never meant to work out perfectly"

But in all my dreams
Everything is clear-cut and clean
And when I speak I say exactly what I mean
I mean
What is 21 good for?
Other than sneaking through the backdoor
And blowing out the heavy smoke screen
Smoke screen
"Good thing you've got a sense of humor"
I say to myself in the mirror
Mmm
Happy birthday to me

What have I been doing my whole life?
Idly sitting by
Waiting for something to happen to me
Mmm
I never was a go-getter
But I'm trying to do better
Hold hesitation to the flame
And let it burn entirely
Let the ashes point me north
To what I'm looking for

At midnight
The comedown cuts through me like a knife
One more year settles heavy over me
Over me
I guess 21 is good for
A hard shove out the door
And making me question everything
Mmm
"Good thing you've got a sense of humor"
I say to myself in the mirror
Mmm
Happy birthday to me

alysia write a happy song challenge 

lyrics:
i tricked myself into loving you 
i could see you fell on top and i couldn’t move 
couldn’t bring myself to tell you the truth 
cause i thought that you would give me a bruise 
for feeling something that i cant control
and the saddest thing is you don’t even know 

how i talked myself into playing cards
i gave you my ace but that didn’t get me very far 
its my favorite game i always would say 
and i loved the way that you said my name 
i wish i knew that secrets never last 
but id hate for you to just be in my past 

why’s it so hard to write you love songs 
when it feels like i need you to breathe
dont think that i had played you as my pawn 
 you dug the hole i planted the seed 
only four words that i can say
to get me out of the mess i climbed into
i know its cliche 
its me not you 

i dread texting you cause it hurts to lie 
could pretend its true love but ive already tried 
tied my stomach in permanent knott 
and im stressed that i don’t know what i want 
stringing you along just isnt fair
and i wish that you could see my loves not there 

why’s it so hard to write you love songs 
when it feels like i need you to breathe
dont think that i had played you as my pawn 
 you dug the hole i planted the seed 
only four words that i can say
to get me out of the mess i climbed into
i know its cliche 
its me not you 2x

i tricked myself into loving you 
now i lost my best friend and did the worst that i could do

me not you

i miss LA (demo)

are we flesh and bones,
are we just a dream?
are we lost or found,
or in between?
will we ever get where we wanna be?
did we invent heaven to keep us in line?
like the stars and the moon are the ones telling time,
nothing could stop me from wondering why,
but you’re one less question,
does the sky get tired or holding our prayers,
or do they even make it up there?
even if i could see behind the curtain
maybe the knowledge would be just a burden,
still wouldn’t stop me from feeling uncertain,
but you’re one right answer
that never keeps me guessing
some understanding,
you’re one less question

one less question,
you’re one right answer
you’re one less question
