Shadows settle on the place that you left Our minds are troubled by the emptiness Destroy the middle, it's a waste of time From the perfect start to the finish line And if you're still breathing, you're the lucky ones 'Cause most of us are heaving through corrupted lungs Setting fire to our insides for fun Collecting names of the lovers that went wrong The lovers that went wrong We are the reckless, we are the wild youth Chasing visions of our futures One day, we'll reveal the truth That one will die before he gets there And if you're still bleeding, you're the lucky ones 'Cause most of our feelings, they are dead, and they are gone We're setting fire to our insides for fun Collecting pictures from a flood that wrecked our home It was a flood that wrecked this home And you caused it And you caused it And you caused it Well, I've lost it all, I'm just a silhouette I'm a lifeless face that you'll soon forget And my eyes are damp from the words you left Ringing in my head when you broke my chest Ringing in my head when you broke my chest And if you're in love, then you are the lucky one 'Cause most of us are bitter over someone Setting fire to our insides for fun To distract our hearts from ever missing them But I'm forever missing him And you caused it And you caused it And you caused it
ain't hanging up this time I ain't giving up tonight Even if you walk around as though you think you're right At your worst, I still believe it's worth a fight I could make it go away Tell me what you're thinkin', don't delay We could still be having some sweet memories This heart still beats for you, why can't you see? Shut up, kiss me, hold me tight Shut up, kiss me, hold me tight Stop your crying, it's alright Shut up, kiss me, hold me tight Stop pretending I'm not there When it's clear, I'm not goin' anywhere If I'm out of sight, then take another look around I'm still out there hopin' to be found Shut up, kiss me, hold me tight Shut up, kiss me, hold me tight Stop your crying, it's alright Shut up, kiss me, hold me tight I could make it all disappear You could feed me all of your fears We could end all this pain right here We could rewind all of those tears I could take it down to the floor You don't have to feel it anymore A love so real that it can't be ignored It's all over, baby, but I'm still young Shut up, kiss me, hold me tight Shut up, kiss me, hold me tight Stop your crying, it's alright Shut up, kiss me, hold me tight
14 and I'm thinkin' 'bout God again In the back of our car, everyone is so far from me 17 and I'm feelin' so out of place, I've been movin' too much And lately, I've been runnin' 'round in circles every day And I've turned off a part of me That I can't find anymore I'm sick of always questionin' myself And what I'm doin' wrong And I wish I was somebody else Just to feel like I'm enough for myself And I've been fightin' with who I am inside my head And I don't know me anymore 19 and I'm gettin' too drunk again And I'm fallin' in love with everyone just for a minute, hmm 20 and I'm runnin' away from everythin', I dropped out of school To end up wakin' on another cold park bench And I've turned off a part of me that I can't find anymore I'm sick of always questionin' myself And what I'm doin' wrong And I wish I was somebody else Just to feel like I'm enough for myself And I've been fightin' with who I am inside my head And I don't know me anymore Ooh-ooh-ooh (ooh), ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, from me anymore Ooh-ooh-ooh (oh), ooh-ooh-ooh (whoa) Ooh-ooh-ooh And I wish I was somebody else Just to feel like I'm enough for myself
Bruno, what did you tell that man? He's a clever man, did you know? I bet he works for the government And I know you know I know I can't control thoughts of things I needed I believe everybody needs some encouragement I think it's real unfair that you should put him there All we did is kiss, on my grave, I swear Where did you find his shoes? A lock of my hair? All we did is kiss, on my grave, I swear I think it's real unfair that you should put him there All we did is kiss, on my grave, I swear Where did you find his shoes? A lock of my hair?

I'm sorry, was just fun, and you were laughing We were running towards the street And I wrote my name into the fresh painted yellow line And you wrote your name right there next to mine We had to dodge a truck He almost hit a buck I think we had some luck And for two bucks We bought some bread And fed the grey geese And the ducks Everyone will come, everyone will yell I'd thank you just the same if you didn't tell My mother says that I will surely go to hell Please be a good man, please say you won't tell Everyone will come, everyone will yell I'd thank you just the same if you didn't tell My mother says that I will surely go to hell Please be a good man, please say you won't tell Did you know that that boy is an armed man? Bearing flowers into hands Very able to hold me down (And love me more than anyone) Bruno, what happened to your good sense? I broke down, that man's good I bet he works for the government Did you hear about that, mother? Broke her daughter's legs in two And said, "It's too dangerous out there to walk, so I had to save you" I think it's real unfair that you should put him there All we did is kiss, on my grave, I swear Where did you find his shoes? A lock of my hair? All we did is kiss, on my grave, I swear I think it's real unfair that you should put him there All we did is kiss, on my grave, I swear Where did you find his shoes? A lock of my hair?

No, I know I'm a walking contradiction and it shows Got a history of being in control I'm aware that I could end up here alone [Verse 2] But then we spoke I had a backbone made of glass and then it broke Now I stay up and I wait here by the phone If you're ready, all I mean is we could go Big Boogie 'Bop' (Live Performance) | Genius Open Mic [Pre-Chorus] I've never craved someone's attention As much as yours, thought I should mention that [Chorus] I'd bet all my money that I will Lose to you and hand you my life Here's to hoping you're worth all my time I might barely know you, but still Don't love you yet, but probably will Turn me into something tragic Just for you, I let it happen [Post-Chorus] I let it happen [Verse 3] But it's fine 'Cause I can tell that I'm projecting half the time I lack context so I've made up all these lies It's the only thing that helps me sleep at night (Hmm, mm, mm) [Pre-Chorus] And now I'm looking in the mirror You made me vain, I can't believe I have to be her [Chorus] I'd bet all my money that I will Lose to you and hand you my life Here's to hoping you're worth all my time (Ah, ah) I might barely know you, but still Don't love you yet, but probably will Turn me into something tragic Just for you, I let it happen [Post-Chorus] I let it happen I let it happen I let it happen I let it happen [Bridge] You've turned all my skies to pouring rain Locked me out the house again Is this how you see me?
