you come to see me
to say you're leaving
but i don't care for long goodbyes
i've always known you
to come and go, you
pass like a ghost through all our lives.
so here's to you
and all the walls you're walking through
i bet its all that you can do to get away
and here's to me
when it's all done i still believe
that i was one of too few reasons to remain
(to stay)
i hear you're leaving
every party
before the dinner course is served
(you leave, you leave, you leave)
you give your reasons
and beg your pardons
and they all pine for your return
(for your return)
i'm sure you're restless
and i know your methods
i bet you're taking off tonight
i don't expect to
be taken with you
you only ever travel light
so here's to you
and all the walls you're walking through
i bet its all that you can do to get away
and here's to me
when it's all done i still believe
that i was one of too few reasons to remain
so here's here's here's to you
so here's here's here's to you
so here's to you
and all the walls you're walking through
i bet its all that you can do to get away
and here's to me
when it's all done i still believe
that i was one of too few reasons to remain

miss me

you always had the leverage
you always knew the words to speak
you always knew the right place to touch me
to make me go weak
and i can feel your fingertips clutching at me
all full of need
i wish that i could help you
wish you could help me
don't tell me that you miss me
unless you really miss me
don't tell me that you're with me
you were never with me
with me
you're so transparent
these days i can see right through you
i understand it
goddammit
it aint my job to move ya
cause when the going got tough
then the tough got going
you got on the road
didn't say you were going
but every time i exorcise your ghost
it keeps coming home
don't tell me that you miss me
if you don't really miss me
don't tell me that you're with me
you were never with me
with me
i know it's pathetic
i know it's obsesive
i know i should stop overthinking your messages
there ain't no meaning hidden in the lines
you just pass whatever cross your mind secondhand
but if it's all in my head
tell me what's in my bed
cept the scent of your sex left as residue
don't tell me you miss me
unless it's the truth
the last thing that i want is to pressure you
you miss me
well i hope you fucking miss me
you tell me that you're with me
you were never with me
with me

spend my days on your timeline
spend my nights on your blog
i can tell that you're lonely
i can tell that you're longing
why your words are so cryptic
i'm not sure who's involved
but when you no one wants you
i assure you you're wrong
and i think every picture you take,
you take for me.
and i know every word you say,
you say for me.
it's why i stay awake and wait for calls waiting.
i know it's about me.
baby it's always about me.
now we only touch through glass.
you got me sayin
(ayo) i'm so tired of using technology
emotions runnin strong in me
(ayo) i'm so tired of using technology
just tell me what you want from me
(ayo) i'm so tired of using technology
i hope this isn't wrong of me
(ayo) i'm so tired of using technology
cause we only touch through glass.

mixed messages

when i told you that i loved you
i was sure i meant it
i told you i would always have your back if you were weighted down and drowning feeling breathless
so why the hell am i
the one to pull away this time
i was reaching for your belt and you were moaning but i wasn't
i was breathless.
i'm sending mixed messages.
i had to call you cause i been up tossing and turning
and finding it harder to sleep
i think i'm just haunted by all of the thoughts of the alternate future
we promised to be
i keep on checking my phone but the minutes just keep ticking on and demolishing me
light from the screen getting harsher the rest of the room getting darker and harder to see
never adjusted to see in the dark, no
i never adjusted to see in the dark
i guess that's the problem with me
my pupils get larger and darker and swallow the whites of my eyes when you're talking to me
i keep on waiting and waiting for you to text back and acknowledge to me
that you're sending mixed messages.
tell me this was not an accident
this was not mistaken
this was not for practice
this was real as you could make it
tell me i was not just something on the side for you to play with
i gave all i had to give
i hope you did the same
cause i know this was not an accident
this was not mistaken
this was not for practice
this was real as i could make it
you were not just something on the side for me to play with
i gave all i had to give
i hope you did the same
(mixed messages)
we were sending mixed messages.
