i don't know where i've got to go so i'm not stuck here all alone i don't know what i've got to say so someone like me sees my face oh you know, i could hide somewhere in the gutters out back i could sell myself at a pet store, somewhere far safer than here i could try, to find my way out of this place long before, you come back, but i could try to love it again (rights to myself) i could try, to find my way out of this place long before, you come back, but i could try to love it again i could try, to find my way out of this place long before, you come back, but i could try to love it again i could try, to find my way out of this place long before, you come back, but i could try to love it again

i'm worried for when the spell runs out if you'll all forgive me, for being away when the spell runs out i grant you permission to click away if only I could sit there longer while I muster up emotional power to give my words, the voice that they deserve but it's a voice I still have not heard when all the magic's gone i wanna tell you i love you, but you gotta yank my chain, down to earth, say the number of kisses don't make my worth i keep-on making it up as i go cause these old words don't have a home it's a simple idea in my head, but there's nobody else to test with it's all too late, the blame is waterlogged, at the bottom of lakes doing crime before i'm a threat switching sides before it's more than a bit if what i want is just the commitment then why am i so scared to commit? when all the magic's gone i hope i'm saved by people i love i oughta let myself enjoy it all, and there's always a haven in the hospital my ssd at full capacity some words just never meant to be how can i show you how much you mean to me? can i just show you how much you mean to me?

he's just a solo kid out on his own doing just fine playing all alone stuck on a stage to busk for attention he won't ask for me, he just hopes someone listens i've started to fall in love with the way that you say your words every little mutter you make could be poetry, even if it's never heard so what if you and i team up, to make the spotlight last all night but if we storm the stage together, we'll just take our feelings out on eachother i'm a little tongue-tied, i've got a bad case of bedhead i'm afraid to say the first word, cause we'll open up and talk about what we regret all these things i could tell you, my brain's been dying to share but i'm afraid to scare you, cause i know your love's so rare if in the end i could forget about this, i might as well try to now some things in my life i've found are better off forgotten about, now now that i get it i've been so self-absorbed now that i get it i'd hope i'd be yours, just scrap the person that i was before now that i get it i've been so self-absorbed and i don't wanna be a part of me anymore and i don't wanna be a part you whispered in my ear something i can't forget but it wasn't quite clear so i made up the rest and when you repeat it i get the feeling i'll never take you as you are it's just something that i can't stop asking myself am i making the most of my time? so you wanna stop by and visit? cause maybe i could make you mine when you smiled, oh yeah you did, i never let it go once it left your lips well i've got faith, but i don't got you yeah who is it for, i got no clue well i'll be fine, i just need a guide i can't be alone when i step off the ride i put you through this now i'll put you down i need some time, i need some time you said the pressure is something to call our own the pressure is something to call our own you said the pressure is something to call our own the pressure is something to call our own you said the pressure is something to call our own the pressure is something to call our own you said the pressure is something to call our own the pressure is something to call our own

talk to me 09:31
I wanna tell you again, I said I wanna tell you again, if I could but it just hurts...well I thought it was set when I sent, the message that I got to you in the way that I wanted to, after all this time, I've been tryin' way too hard. It's like, I spent my weekend lookin out for who I could've seen for support, but I kept myself cornered in my own realm and expected you to come forward I didn't wanna think about your response, the way you would or even at all, cause how am I supposed to know what to do if I finally tell you "hey I think I like you"? it's only him who understands, , he knows how worked up i've been, it's spillin' out the sides of my head, i finally hit send ... Will my future be happy? Do I get full agency? Why won't you just trust me? You said you'll just have to see But I thought the world was that simple, the universe revolves around winners Nobody told me, my friends are all guilty, who treat their love like a commodity! What's the deal with loves coming out? Like the stars align, and fate decides You better get ready if someone gets hurt, no Second thoughts on how to get out I just wanted to find someone that I could go to every day who'd be sure to follow me, as long as they make use of my body I tried to get my message out, but it hit you in the face like a cinder block Who cares about first impressions, I al-ways make things up in the end ... So you gave me a chance to change I wanted to find a way, to make sure we got arranged to grow together in every situation but you didn't say anything that it was bothering you I just shot around for my dreams I didn't realize, I shot you too ... You told me that I could change myself that I've got good intentions somehow you saw that, behind all the panic and danger I put myself in You said you gave me another chance to do things right as if we never met but what good was all of that when it took so long to get your attention? You gave me a second chance, I tried not to fuck it up - - I didn't want to fall in love I just wanted to find someone Who'd hide my eyes when I didn't like the way my life was turning out I blamed you I hated you - But you wouldn't leave my dreams I put you under the guillotine I demonized you in my own schemes - I wanted to put you at my mercy Cause I was just so angry I didn't know where to turn when all my friends had left and gone, and I didn't feel like starting over again I didn't try to find anyone new I didn't know what to do I thought I knew it would come to a head, if I told you, "I wish we were all dead" Cause who could I have found in this forward-facing town? ...Who would under stand me at my lowest? And Doesn't the context say a whole lot about who I am, and doesn't that absolve me? Of my responsibilities? I guess I only know half my own story. - But maybe I'm not so great. To find someone like you, who is Strong, willing and compassionate To give people another look when they realize they fucked something up So you took my hand And said it wouldn't work out But you told me there's a silver lining cause that's how the best of stories go If I could learn to change myself and not be so obsessed over something like a relationship like it's a possession If I could treat you like a person like I did all those years ago then maybe we could find some equal ground but I'm done with trying to frame anything Burnabyyyyyyyyyyy do you hear that? It's no longer in my ears. It's up to me now. Burnabyyyyyyyyy yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ...Can't you hear the ringing? - Darling? I'm already getting used to this I still want to throw myself away - But not entirely just the parts that I didn't want in the first place Leave behind, all those parts that I was holding onto A dangerous coping mechanism cause I let it fester. I let it accumulate. I didn't talk to anyone, about how I was feeling or how I wanted to feel that way. And I didn't realize that I was in it for the fans not even to serve myself, I regret dragging you into this but now I know what I want cause anger only got me this far ...you bet I'm willing to change ...for you... Burnaby, talk to me, Burnaby, talk to me, Burnaby, I'll do it gratefully I wanna listen to you so long as you'll listen to me Burnaby, talk to me, Burnaby, talk to me, Burnaby, I'll do it gratefully for you I'll always listen, and I wanna be, some, one, to, be-lieve, in
