Better Off Without You

I’ve bit my tongue for so long
That I’m used to the taste of blood
But I know if I speak up
That my words will cause a flood
Do you see me like you used to
Or am I just a memory?
A photograph stuck in your head
While you drown in apathy?
Let me go
You’re on your own
(Chorus)
Can’t you see
That I’m better off without you
After all
Of the shit you put me through
I grew accustomed to abuse
Was okay with being used
But now I see
That I’m better off without you
I’ve been awake all fucking night
Thinking “where do I go from here?
Do I try to be the better man
Or should I just disappear?”
I wrote something for you
But it got to the wrong address
And now I’ll never find my closure
Yeah, it’s not worth the stress
We grew apart
You’re so close, yet so far

Never Out of Reach

Do you ever wanna be someone else
Or think you’re a face in the crowd?
Cause I feel like that, too
Have you ever felt so overwhelmed
Like the voices in your head seem so loud?
I’ve got something to tell you
(Chorus)
Don’t you cry, just hang on for the ride
I promise you it gets better with time
When you get knocked down, and all you wanna do is scream
Just know, I’m never out of reach
Do you ever feel bummed on a summer’s day
Cause nothing’s going quite right
Does it chill to the bone?
Does the melancholy typically stay
Even on a good night
You’re not alone
(Chorus)
Don’t you cry, just hang on for the ride
I promise you it gets better with time
When you get knocked down, and all you wanna do is scream
Just know, I’m never out of reach
(Chorus)
Don’t you cry, just hang on for the ride
I promise you it gets better with time
When you get knocked down, and all you wanna do is scream
Just know, I’m never out of reach

I said I wanted space
But you won’t leave me alone
And now you’re saving face
My heart has turned to stone
Everything’s changing
(And I can’t control it)
Old feelings are fading
(You’re just not worth it)
(Chorus)
While you sit at home
Thinking that you want no one else,
I’ll be sitting here by myself
Wondering why I’m so alone
When you’re all I’ve ever known
I’ll drink myself to sleep while you roam
Another bottle
Another night wasted
Wishing it was your lips I tasted
And not the burn of Absolut
You smoke me up
And I start to cough
I just need something to
Take the edge off
I only want to seclude
I’m going off the deep end
I never wanted to be just friends
But now it’s over and done
and you’re holding the gun
Do me a favor
And pull the fucking trigger

Can't Sleep at Night
03:34
|

I'll light up my night
With my Bic and some grasses
Before i start sinking
From me from overthinking
About how we use to be
How you're still everything to me
But i know, i need to sit back
And watch this river flow
(Chorus)
You're the first thought in my mind
When it gets too late at night
And I begin to dive on in to
The lonely thoughts within
I try to fall asleep
Without you next me
But you're not here to hold me tight,
So I can't sleep at night
With my knife in my hand
I'll carve your name in the sand
While the night goes to die
I’ll keep my head held high
You know I'm trying not to cry
When i watch you walk away
I'll try to hide
This river in my eyes
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
My heart hit the floor
As you walked out the door
The memories all came rushing back
Like I had a heart attack
Now at night it all repeats
With me crying myself to sleep
Over the love that we once shared
Its now a pain i'll always bear
Cause you're the first thought in my mind
When it gets too late at night
And I begin to dive on in to
The lonely thoughts within
I try to fall asleep
Without you next me
But you're not here to hold me tight,
So I can't sleep at night

Alone Tonight
02:51

Lay your head
On my shoulder
We can talk about the years that lie ahead
Hold my hand
As we grow older
You’re on your own, you could just be with me instead
I’m hopeless without you
Please be honest with me
Won’t call your bluff but
Give me the best you can be
(Chorus)
Are you alone tonight
Staring up at the moonlight?
Why don’t you swing by
And be mine
We got our whole lives
To be you and I
Your head’s in the clouds
But your feet are still grounded
I wanna be the reason you always smile
I’ve always been torn down
But with your love, I’m surrounded
By happiness, oh will you stay for a while?
I’m hopeless without you
Please be honest with me
Won’t call your bluff but
Give me the best you can be
(Chorus)
