Is Anyone There

Burn Again

Story Never Ends

This song is about an ex you can’t get over, and wonder if you could rekindle. It starts with some resentment, transitions to reminiscing the good times, then goes into a big "maybe we'll burn again" chant

“Unapologetic” is about that badass in your life who is hella cool. Everyone knows that person - you either want to be them, or be with them. In this song, you see what everyone else sees, and start going down that slippery slope ...

Unapologetic

You left me, to fend for myself
Taught me so much but not enough and here I am
I’m on empty, I need some help
Cuz you’re not here anymore, like we planned
 
If I could be just half of you then maybe I’d be whole
And although you’re still here, I miss you more than you could know
I worked so hard to get this far
But everything I’ve done you missed it all
Can I be angry even though it’s not your fault
 
I hold these memories, in picture frames
Inside my head back in better days
Now I’m sitting here, about to break
Watching these old videos on replay
 
If I could be just half of you then maybe I’d be whole
I couldn't see how much you’d mean wish it moved extra slow
And I get pissed cuz I’ll have kids one day
And I know you’ll miss it all
Can I be angry even though it’s not your fault
 
You taught me right from wrong
Brought me from weak to strong
How has it been so long
We laughed we cried we fought
Oh god I wish that we were together
And we were together
 
You left me, to fend for myself
Taught me so much but not enough
And here I am
I’m on empty 
I need some help
Can I be angry even though it’s not your fault 
God I get angry even though it’s not your fault  
Can I be angry even though it’s not your fault

You Wrote These Songs

Not Your Fault

This is that song about your ex that doesn't deserve you. They never realized how good you were to them, and now that you're finally over them, they're calling at 2AM ... of course.

Lyrics:

Built a playlist with your name, all the songs you liked to play
Drove you round town when it rained, so you’d never had to wait
I’d compliment you everyday, loved to see you smile
You took it all the wrong way, never treated me the same

I guess, you think you’re some kind of saint 

Don’t go pick up your phone at 2am
Act like you want to know where I am  
Saying you didn’t want this to end
What the fuck is that, I don’t want you back
I gave you everything I could, 
You took it for granted you would
Now you’re telling me we were so good
What the fuck is that, I don’t want you back

I said please don’t talk to him, you went and did it anyway
All those late nights at the gym, I was naïve to 
Believe your heart was in the right place, I looked the other way
Should have known your love was fake, never treated me the same

I guess, you think you’re some kind of saint 

Don’t go pick up your phone at 2am
Act like you want to know where I am  
Saying you didn’t want this to end
What the fuck is that, I don’t want you back
I, gave you everything I could, 
You took it for granted, you would
Now you’re telling me we were so good
What the fuck is that, I don’t want you back

Don’t go pick up your phone at 2am
Act like you want to know where I am  
Saying you didn’t want this to end
What the fuck is that, I don’t want you back
I remember all the things you said, 
I Took ya back, you hurt me again
Now you’re calling at two, 2 am, 
What the fuck is that, I don’t want you back

Don't Want You Back (wtf)
