'Make Myself Suffer' is a song about the pain of realizing a relationship is doomed to fail.

Lyrics:

Misguided, undecided
I guess it’s time to admit and walk the line
No oh, no oh, no oh
I point the finger now wherever I choose
In the end it will be me that will lose
That I know, yeah that I know

Why do I make myself suffer?
Why do I make it so hard?

Forgive and forget it’s always easy
I’ve heard sorry so many times now don’t speak
Bite your tongue, oh look what you’ve done
Why is it got to be so reckless and beautiful?
Stay in this relationship and we will fall
That ain’t good enough, oh we’re more than that

Why do I make myself suffer?
Why do I make it so hard?

Why do I make myself suffer?
Why do you make it so hard?
Why do I make myself suffer?
Why do you make it so hard?

LYRICS: 

I got a call from a friend last night
That I haven't heard from in years
But he's doing alright
Well he's in town and it's not very far
So I hung up the phone and I jumped in the car

I'll be there soon
In your hotel room
Let's hit the streets and forget
What time put us through
Call up the old crew
The group from our youth
They thought we'd all be gone
But we still carry on

We'll start a fire in the middle of the graveyard
To let the world know we ain't moving on
Drive by the diner that we never thought would close
Break in and turn it to a sold-out rock show

Long brown hair blowing in the wind
Radio playing Here I Go Again
Just some kids driving wild in the night
Doing ninety-five across that county line

And if you search beneath these streets
I'll bet you'll find some piece of me
Encapsulated in a melody
Trying to recapture what it used to be, well

We'll start a fire in the middle of the graveyard
To let the world know we ain't moving on
Drive by the diner that we never thought would close
Break in and turn it to a sold-out rock show
Look at the dead boys, back again
We never say die, don't forget my friend
And it could never slip away from me
With your photograph tucked in my jeans

We'll start a fire in the middle of the graveyard
To let the world know we ain't moving on
Drive by the diner that we never thought would close
Break in and turn it to a sold-out rock show
Look at the dead boys, back again
We never say die, don't forget my friend
And it could never slip away from me
With your photograph tucked in my jeans

Emotional, soaring synth melodies

Lyrics:

Wipe away the black beneath my eyes
Open up the crack in the wall into another time
Walking naked past the window
Tell me where did all that shame go?
Who cares who’s looking in
Cause everyone has skin

And I was so naive to think
Your twin was roaming free
So I could leave you alone
Because it took so long to hear that you were done with me

But then I heard you
The language of your eyes

I could feel you shake before you said a single word to me
Oh, it’s alright

Oh, you were looking back, oh
Ah, I found what I need
Back, oh
Back, oh
Back, ah
Back, turn back now
Back, oh,
Back, you were looking back

You were looking back

Lyrics:

One moment, and you're gone.
But I'll find you before too long.

Can you feel me coming,
like a heart beating time,
keep on moving, hunting until you're mine.

Temptation says to stray,
but I won't let you get away.

Can you feel me coming,
like a heart beating time,
keep on moving, hunting until you're mine.

Fueled by the chase I'll win.
You know I'll never give in.

Can you feel me coming,
like a heart beating time,
keep on moving, hunting until you're mine.

Can you feel me coming,
like a heart beating time,
keep on moving, hunting until you're mine.
