Your oceans 
And their sunrises
Make me feel no need for surprises
And you know that your nothing is my everything 
Everything

I know your heart's from the east coast
Baby, believe me when I tell you everything I say is true
Yeah I got some things to say to you

Please don't ever let me go
Please don't ever tell me 
Everything I did for you 
It doesn't really matter anymore I know
And that's the darkest price that I pay

Yeah.

We both know 
Everything was done out of pain
We didn't mean to make each other sad again

But when I know that you're in his arms
Away from all my selfish harm
I feel like it's ok to breathe
Yeah you can finally be

Can finally be happy 
That you're never coming back 
And everything I did for you 
It doesn't really matter anymore I know
And that's the darkest price that I pay

Yeah.
Yeah.

Please don't ever let me go 
And if you do 
Please forget my name real slow 
'Cos everything I did for you 
Doesn't matter anymore 
And it happens
And it happens
And it happens
And it happens 

Please don't ever let me go
Please don't ever tell me that it's over and 
Know that it happens 
Know that it happens
Please don't ever let me go
Please don't ever tell me that it's over and 
Know that it happens 
Know that it happens
​Please don't ever let me go
Don't ever tell me that it's over and 
Know that it happens 
Know that it happens
​Please don't ever let me go
Don't ever tell me that it's over and 
Know that it happens 
Know that it happens

McGUFFIN

I'll write a million songs today
In Hopes you're listening to every word I say
I'll make you crawl back in your bed
And pray to God that soon I'll wake up dead
I'll wake up dead

I'll make your summers feel like hell
Let's start it off with a game of kiss and tell
I know you don't even like me 
Of this I swear
I know that I will always be the one
To shatter all your dreams

FUCK ME UP PLEASE
I'M DOWN ON MY KNEES
I loved the way you made me feel
But I'd kill to know it wasn't real

So now I'm lying awake
​And now I'm counting mistakes 
Because you tell me that you're not coming home
By now I hope you hate me in the most beautiful ways
I'll tell you whats it like to be on the outside looking in

FUCK ME UP PLEASE
I'M DOWN ON MY KNEES
I loved the way you made me feel
But I'd kill to know it wasn't real

And maybe you don't ever want to see me
And maybe you don't ever want to be with me 
​And maybe you don't ever want to hold me
But maybe you'll want to drink on the side of the freeway 
like we did before 
like we did before

I loved the way you made me feel
But I'd kill to know it wasn't real
I loved the way it wasn't real 
​But I'd kill to feel

ELATED

I never thought I'd be the one to believe
When you told me that one day you're gonna' leave
But now I have to be the one to ignore
All those memories from before

I never thought that all those photographs on my wall
Can bring me down to tears
And now I see what my friends meant when they told me
That Love can tear to shreds after years

I know you're miserable without me
And sometimes that's enough for me to finally be
Happy

And now it reads SOLD in bold red print
The house we painted in our dreams and built in our minds Is now sold
But not to you but not to me
But to a smile fabricated by our demons
Of our mistakes

So tell me when will this pain end?
Because these wounds don't seem to mend
I know you're miserable without me
And sometimes that's enough for me to finally be
​Happy
HENDERSON

I'm never ok.
You're just fine
You say your sorry
Wrote on the same line 
Right next to your good-byes 
Cross your heart
Hope I die.

When you get lost in the city of sin
I hope you have his five fingers to wrap yours safely around
'Cos you broke mine
Trying to break free

And I hope somebody asked you 
Who was the one that broke your heart this bad
I hope you choke
Throwing my name 
past those lips 

And I swear 
You're never coming back
And I know
That there is no second chance

​When you get lost in the city of sin
I hope you have his five fingers to wrap yours safely around
'Cos you broke mine
Trying to break free

You are the corner in my room that I'll never face at night 
You are the nerve under my skin that makes me feel alive 
You are the corner of my eye thats having trouble staying dry 
You are the breeze that runs through the door that I am too damn scared to close
Picture
THE LAST TIME YOU'LL LOVE ME

Sometimes I drink so much wine
That I go so blind
That I can't even see
The situations around me
Situations around me

Sometimes I smoke so much 
That I can't inhale 
The winter air 
That's lingering outside

And I know you're never coming back
Unless you're someone else so I rather be blind
And I know you'll never be right there 
So I rather not breathe
Rather not breathe

Sometimes I burn winter candles in mid-summers day
To remind myself of the last time you leaned over and kissed me
When I was cold outside

Sometimes I sit in my broken down truck 
Just to remind myself of the last time you told me you loved me 
The last time you'll love me 

But I know you're never coming back
I should fix that truck and drive away
I know you'll never be right there when I come home
I should let our house burn down 
​I should let our house burn down 

'Cos I know I mistreated you in every single way 
That's why I write this song of you today
going away

'Cos I know 
I know 
I know

'Cos I know 
I know 
I know

The last time you'll love me 
The last time you'll love me 
The last time you'll love me 
The last time you'll love me

5-6-7-8

5-6
5-6-7-8


I woke up at 3 am wish you were here
And then I realized that you are never coming near anymore
It's true after everything I did to you
But then I scroll through my phone trying to look for the picture of the day
You told me you love me and you'd never go away
But I know people say things they don't mean
When they're in love


Now I don't know
What your face looks like anymore
It's been three years
And I don't want to hold your hand
I just want to see you smile once again
'Cos if I can't be the one that makes you happy
I hope someone else can


So what do we do
With all these broken bones inside
And no air in my lungs
Do I suffocate for you?
And it hurts
Tell me I was the one that declared this love dead
I rise
I fall
But if I could I'd change it all


You're the reason you're alone
And I'm the reason that it hurts
I pushed one foot in front of the other now
But I stepped on my own shoelace
And I feel my own two front teeth
Smash against the concrete ground
And I know that I'd let you watch me do it again
Just to have you hang around


So what do we do
With all these broken bones inside
And no air in my lungs
Do I suffocate for you?
And it hurts
Tell me I was the one that declared this love dead
I rise
I fall
But if I could I'd change it all


Why can't my mind ever shut up?
I can do this on my own
Why can't my mind ever shut up?
I can do this on my own
Why can't my mind ever shut up?
I can do this on my own


So what do we do
With all these broken bones inside
And no air in my lungs
Do I suffocate for you?
And it hurts
Tell me I was the one that declared this love dead
I rise
I fall
But if I could I'd change it all




To change it all.
