I hope you're doing alright
I'd say this in person
but I know that we'd just fight
you'd tell me a lie
and you'd do another line
well I refuse to believe
that you're doing fine
It's not okay
when I have to pray
for you to see another day
just because you hate being sober
take the razor out of your hand
and tell me that it's over
Because I want you
to have a chance
in this messed up place
we call our homes
I just want you to know
that you're not alone
because I could never let you go
it's not okay
when I have to pray
for you to see another day
just because you hate being sober
take the razor out of your hand
and tell me that it's over
This isn't you
at least the girl I knew
just because we're done
doesn't mean that you have to run
away from everything good in your life
please stop crushing those pills with his knife
it's not okay
when I have to pray
for you to see another day
just because you hate being sober
take the razor out of your hand
and tell me that it's over

Letting go
Of someone who did a long time ago
Is the hardest part
You're like a zombie who ate my heart
But I'm out of touch with reality
Wishing you were here next to me
Is how I spent tonight
In my head it's not a fair fight
I never got the chance to say
That if I die on this plane
Think of me while your in his bed
It feels like home inside your head
But I'm out of touch with reality
Wishing you were here next to me
Is how I spent tonight
In my head it's not a fair fight
And these flashbacks don't help
When I'm going through hell
Because all I wanted was your heart
But baby you knew that from the start
And I'm out of touch with reality
Wishing you were here next to me
Is how I spent tonight
In my head it's not a fair fight

You act if all my stories
are all but boring
I'm sorry doll, you've done it all
in these short lives
that we live on this planet
if only for one moment
I'm forced to think the truth
that I will never be with you
You act if all my stories
are all but boring
I'm sorry doll, you've done it all
in these short lives
that we live on this planet
if only for one moment
I'm forced to think the truth
that I will never be with you
I drove to your house
in the pouring rain
just because you say
you like the way that I sing
I play all of these
as a way to trick myself
into thinking, that I'm too busy for you
You act if all my stories
are all but boring
I'm sorry doll, you've done it all
in these short lives
that we live on this planet
if only for one moment
I'm forced to think the truth
that I will never be with you
I can't take this anymore
my hearts washed upon the shore
i'm suffocating without
I can't breathe since you closed the door
You left without a warning
you're still alive but i'm mourning
weekdays are the worst for me
because you're gone but it's too hard to believe

I thought you were just a safe bet
you turned out to be my biggest regret
when I was laying in that hospital bed
I wrote you letters I was too afraid to send
So I went to an old friend
trying to make amends
I would've wrote this faster but I couldn't find pen
thought you were just a safe bet
you turned out to be my biggest regret
when I was laying in that hospital bed
I wrote you letters I was too afraid to send
I couldn't have asked for a better way for this to end
Than you being with my friend
when those tires blew
I was hoping to be dead
I'm not yours to pray for x3
thought you were just a safe bet
you turned out to be my biggest regret
when I was laying in that hospital bed
I wrote you letters I was too afraid to send
I ran for miles and never looked back
thinking now common sense is what I lack
Because it was so obvious
when he was taking off your dress
thought you were just a safe bet
you turned out to be my biggest regret
when I was laying in that hospital bed
I wrote you letters I was too afraid to send

Sleeping in abandon parking lots
stealing food from the local truck stop
driving on this open
just a few more shows until I get back home
I miss my family and they miss me
but I can't even stand this city
it's going to eat us alive
that's why I get in my van and drive and drive and drive
Maybe one day we can work this out
and we can find a happy medium
but I'll keep playing shows until then
Sleeping in abandon parking lots
stealing food from the local truck stop
driving on this open
just a few more shows until I get back home
Sometimes I ask myself why am I doing this
sometimes I want to quit
but why I get back home
I know I need to be....
Sleeping in abandon parking lots
stealing food from the local truck stop
driving on this open
just a few more shows until I get back home

I should probably go to bed
but there is so much left unsaid
when you're with me I feel fine
but when you're not my brain is dead
Maybe one day you'll realize
how much I awkwardly look in your eyes
because you're the prettiest girl in this world
I can't stand that you're leaving
but I know you can't stand it here
I wish there was a way, you could stay my dear
but I got to let you go
because you and I both know
your body isn't made for the Ohio snow
I hope I can see you again
before you leave, please know
to me you were so much more than a friend
I can't stand that you're leaving
but I know you can't stand it here
I wish there was a way, you could stay my dear
but I got to let you go
because you and I both know
your body isn't made for the Ohio snow

I'm sorry
and I'm broken
and I'm sore
I know I can't be what you're looking for
You need someone that will be there
and not an anti-social boy
who's afraid of his own shadow
i'm afraid of my own shadow
I've been wanting you forever
but its not the right time
it's not the right song
and it's not the right line
You've been wanting a real man
I've been wasting my whole life
waiting for you
but I didn't have anything better to do
I've been wanting you forever
but its not the right time
it's not the right song
and it's not the right line
My timing isn't of value
even though I swear I love you
You could find someone better than me
I've been wanting you forever
but its not the right time
(you're searching for them answers that I cannot find)
it's not the right song
and it's not the right line

I haven't seen my friends in a while
most were enemies that could really fake a smile
it scares me for the real ones
who believed in my when I didn't
who am I kidding, I still don't believe in myself
But I can talk a big game
missing the people who came
and walked right out of my life
i'm scared i'll die before I find a wife
I'm so alone
and I'm no good at faking a smile
just come with me to denny's
so I can see you for a while
It scares me that we're dying everyday
and I can't even put these grudges at bay
I haven't started living yet
i'm still trying to get my life in set
But I can talk a big game
missing the people who came
and walked right out of my life
i'm scared i'll die before I find a wife
But I can talk a big game
missing the people who came
and walked right out of my life
i'm scared i'll die before I find a wife
But I can talk a big game
missing the people who came
and walked right out of my life
i'm scared i'll die before I find a wife
Scared I'll die before I find a x5
(scared I'll die before I find a) x5
But I can talk a big game
missing the people who came
and walked right out of my life
i'm scared i'll die before I find a wife
