the police showed up at her place 'round 9 and asked her about me
she said she ain't seen me in 3 weeks they didn't know she was lyin'
if they had went inside they would've found me in her basement rotting
covered in stab wounds rolled up in her old roommate's carpet

but i'm content like this
her violent side got bad real fast and i knew it would end like this
i loved her way too much to care and guess what i love her still 
yeah you know i love her still

after the police came she just panicked 
she dragged me up to the car and laid me down in the backseat
she didn't know detectives were watchin' because they talked to my friends
and they told 'em about all the problems we had
how she'd taken my phone when they called me to help
and forgot to hang up and heard me beggin' her not to hit me again
i said 'put down the knife' as the phone went dead
they followed her to the beach with some cop cars
she tried to attack on officer and they shot her 
yeah but i'm

but i'm content like this
she's back by my side bleeding out on the pavement 
she knew it would end like this
i loved her way too much to care and guess what i love her still
you know i love her still

her roommate's carpet interlude (p. saint mike)

vintage tee
brand new phone
and high heels on cobblestones 
when you are young they assume you know nothing yeah
sequined smile 
black lipstick
sensual politics yeah 
when you are young they assume you know nothing 

but i knew you
dancin' in your levis
drunk under streetlights i 
i knew you
hand under your sweatshirt
i'll kill it better i 
and when i felt like i was an old cardigan under someone's bed
you put me on and said i was your favorite yeah

a friend to all is friend to none
i chased two girls and i lost the one
when you are young they assume you know nothing

but i knew you
playin' hide-and-seek and
giving me your weekends i
i knew you
heartbeat on the high line 
once in 20 lifetimes i 
when i felt like i was an old cardigan under someone's bed
you put me on and said i was your favorite 

to kiss in cars
and downtown bars
was all we needed
and you drew stars
around my scars
but now i'm bleeding

'cause i knew you
steppin' on the last train
you marked me like a bloodstain i
i knew you
tried to change the ending
peter losing wendy i 
i knew you
leavin' like a father 
runnin' like water i
when you are young they assume you know nothing

but i knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss 
i knew you'd haunt all of my what-if's
the smell of smoke would hang around this long
'cause i knew everything when i was young 
i knew i'd curse you for the longest time
chasing shadows in the grocery line
i knew you'd miss me when the thrill expired
and you'd be standing in my front porch light
and i knew you'd come back to me
you'd come back to me

and when i felt like i was an old cardigan under someone's bed
you put me on 
and said i was your favorite

i just threw another picture in the fire
ain't nobody had it like us
did you have to be so condescending 
this ain't much of a life anymore
drain me out 'til i'm not bleeding 
and i won't leave you alone
i just can't leave 
now now now
i just can't leave

i had to figure this one out on my own
you ain't have direction there was only so many places we could go
you made me hate myself for a long time 'til i figured out i don't
did you have to be so condescending yeah
maybe you had to

i just threw another picture in the fire
nobody had it like us
is it true that everyone dies 
or does our heart just give up

i just threw another picture in the fire
from a box i had of photobooths and polaroids and such
i just drank for the first time in 60 days and i miss the way
make me feel like i'm some sort of fuck up
but the truth is that

i ain't even have to make this song or
put it on this ep but
i just wanted you to know that i'm happier than i ever was with you
lowkey i think you made the worst mistake of all time
when you let me take the fall like that 
i know that guy that used to call you all the time is still on your instagram
i know you used to tell me that he creeped you out then why'd you engage with him
i looked back at his posts during the time that we were together
and you pretty much still liked them all it's okay whatever but
i got a new girl now 
and i'm way better off without you
even if i didn't have her i'd say that shit yeah yeah yeah
shouldn't have led me on
did you have to be so condescending
