Can’t give a fuck and I don’t give a fuck
While I try and I try I just can’t show her love
Every start of a feeling falls off and then dies
It’s so simple a secret
I try and I try to show her that I truly care
I can’t give what she deserves
She knows it
I know it’s not fair I wish that I could change things
Counting down minutes she’s right in my sight
It’s just so disconcerting to know that she’s mine
Lose all the feeling in both of my hands
I throw up in my mouth it spills on my pants
We cover the bed and our sheets in the love that we bleed
Another way to see you all later
Cigarettes burn right down

You can take it from me
Take it from me
I want to live right by the sea
Buried with my queen
I want to be right by you
(I want to tear down the walls)
I want to watch it burn
(Oh, you’re so beautiful)
How do I say what I feel for you still?
Think of you often but I couldn’t tell
Anyone else would have acted the same
Maybe it’s better we turned out this way
She says “It’s me not you”
Do what you do
Just know I can’t come through
And be there for you
I can see right past all the bullshit lies
And all the things you do to get sympathy
I’m getting older my nights are less sober
And yes I think of you still
It took me too long to finally get the punchline
That breaking my heart was the best gift you gave me
We’ll do this dance forever and ever and ever
Oh I want to dance forever and ever and ever
I want to tear down the walls
I want to give it away
What was that promise you made when you said you would change?
I’m such a simple fool
For falling over you
I don’t regret our love
I just regret that I stayed

Seeing you like this has got my hands tied
But maybe one night could put us right
From the disheveled look on her face
I could see nothing but the shame
You’re afraid to say it’s over
But that’s just part of getting older I guess
She’s so merciless
Shoulders bent over hips
Unnecessary
So unnecessary
She’s clambering for a grip
Tongue twister underlip
Apothecary takes more than they can carry
Back home
Seeing you dancing through echoes of black
Hold your breath and don’t shiver like that
I know it’s not my place but i’ll apologize
For every word I threw from my defense
And I still love you through all of your indescretions
And that’ll never end
She’s so merciless
Shoulders bent over hips
Unnecessary
So unnecessary
She’s clambering for a grip
Tongue twister underlip
Apothecary takes more than they can carry
Back home
So merciless
Shoulders bent over hips
Unnecessary
So unnecessary
She’s clambering for a grip
For a grip

Does it take that much to say you care about me?
Dreams of summer days
My lips caught in your orbit
Don’t understand what it is about you
That makes you
So intoxicating to me
I think you’re poisonous
But I’ll stay right by your side
I feel alive this time
Tonight
I’m alive
And I want only you
Oh I want only you
When I’m looking at your face
I can see a thousand mistakes
But each is a part of you
When you’re looking back at me
I feel like my dear old man
Clenched fists aimed towards the sky
Tonight
I feel alive this time
Tonight
I’m alive
And I want only you
Oh I want only you
Did it take your all not to talk to me
God, I know
God, it must be sweet
Living with the one that you love rent free
I’m not involved that how it ought to be
Eating up
The scraps you drop
Like I’m a dog
I’m your dog
Wont be full
Until I’m yours
My fixture glued
Waiting for you
No phone could keep me from
Pulling up outside your home
Throwing up
You show up
Ask “What the fuck?”
I think I’m just
Regretting and accepting
I need to know that you won’t be forgetting me
Please know it’s not my fault
I’m still your dog
Throw me a bone

Who’s wrong or right this time?
I want to know
I said who built this cross for me?
Holding me down beneath the surface
“You’re the loudest, least deserving of that throne!” they exclaim
This ghost of my own
I’ve known it long
I think it’s all I know
And in the end
I know that seperate isn’t better
If I can put the pieces together
I’m sure I’ll get back home
Red star
Come down upon me
Let me drown in your light
For so long
I had my head in the clouds
But now I know
I know
You are just someone that I once knew
A memory
What others may say, I dont care
I’m partial to picking sides
But this time I won’t
I’ll wait to fall off the earth
This ghost of my own
I’ve known it long
I think it’s all I know
And in the end
I know that seperate isn’t better
If I can put the pieces together
I’m sure I’ll get back home
Remembering the weight of your hand
In a folding bed
With terminal on the frame
And everyone looking through
When I pulled away you weren’t there
Are you with me when I’m fucking up?
Are you with me when I’m skipping meals through the day?
Are you with me for my broke nights, for my cut ties?
Are you with me when I drink too much?
Were you with me for each cigarette pack I drained?
Are you with me for the good times and the goodbyes?
Im asking “Will it ever be enough?”
You smile and you lie
But it keeps me sane
You tell me that you don’t know, but when the day’s done
I know you’re with because I feel your touch
I know you’re here because I see you inside my brain
I know you’re with me when the night’s long
Saying “Don’t go”
I think I have an empty touch
You hug me as I hold your picture frame
It helped me last this long
That’s all
