Rain

Dawn breaks the day
My life is set to replay
The fog’s so thick
That I can see my pain
A scarlet home
For a worn out soul
Take me away
Or don’t take me at all
You’ve got me feeling like the past won’t fade away
Cause it’s a memory that strangles me
I’m calling your name just to feel okay
Cause you’re the one that buried me
I’m losing myself in this crowded room
As the floor breathes beneath you
It pulls you in closer
It’s right where I need you
It was the past that bound my wrists
As I sank softly in my sleep
And woke to find myself
Beneath the surface where I keep
All my secrets locked away
And my heart, my heart pounds
And tries to convince me to stay,
“How the fuck do you throw that away?”
“You asked for heartbreak and down came the rain.”
I’m losing myself in this crowded room
As the floor breathes beneath you
It pulls you in closer
It’s right where I need you

There’s a light that flickered aimlessly
But never fell inside a spectrum catered loosely
To the misery you’d find
And somewhere in between loving me
And wanting me to leave
You turned into the person that you never thought you’d be
Did you ever make it home
Cause you never let me know
If you're out there in the cold
Or you’re happy on your own
The years have been a blur
A lifetime spent in gray
So rock me to sleep
And let me fade away
You pulled me from the waters
Where I took myself to drown
You pulled me from the waters
Where I took myself to drown
I’ll brave the cold for hours
Till my world comes to a halt
And now I'm seeing clearly
This could never be your fault
Did you ever make it home
Cause you never let me know
If you're out there in the cold
Or you’re happy on your own
The years have been a blur
A lifetime spent in gray
So rock me to sleep
And let me fade away
You put me six feet deep
And buried me in agony
And I swear I saw you smile
Everytime that dirt hit my chest
And after all of this I’ll still wish you the best
I’ll always wish you the best
Did you ever make it home
Cause you never let me know
Maybe you're out there in the cold
Or you’re happy on your own own
And the words you said in time
Now a hazy lullaby
So rock me to sleep
And leave me to die

Alone

If you want me to I’ll leave you alone
And you can tell me it was all my fault
I’ll keep telling you that I was wrong
Cause I love you
You’re all that I always needed
When I look back on your sadness it nearly kills me
I was lost and I needed your help
You were always there for me
But I was blind and I could not see
But I can see it clearly now
Cause I loved you
You’re all that I always needed
When I look back on your sadness I can’t believe it
So just hold me in your arms tonight
You know that I need it
I’ll just you in my arms tonight
And won’t let you go
I won’t let you go

Half Smile

You chased a love across the country
For the sake of saving face
And though I miss you dearly
I tread your wake in the same place
From the moment I arrived
My world began to change
This love became my home
And I’ve never been the same
I know you’re hurting
I feel you burning
You threw your heart away
For a place that’s not the same
You’re hiding everything
But you’re not the one to blame
And even though it’s not ideal for you
Or the option you’d prefer
The story writes itself
When you go back to her
You set the spark to flame
The embers knew my name
When they make their way to me
You’ll be far too blind to see
Through the windows in my room
I watched your flowers bloom
And I burned beneath your sun
I burned beneath your sun
You threw your heart away
For a place that’s not the same
You’re hiding everything
But you’re not the one to blame
And even though it’s not ideal for you
Or the option you’d prefer
The story writes itself
When you go back to her

Treehouse

I saw us in the treehouse
That your father built when you were young
You know it’s hard to see
Cause tomorrow came to take me away
And that day I lost a part of me
That I’m never getting back
We were just kids then
But I shattered and let it win
I found sadness and let it in
If it takes too long
To come back home
Then I might as well leave this alone
If it’s too much to ask
Just hold me back
We’ll be alright
We’ll be just fine
I keep the memories saved
With pictures in their frames
I can’t, I can’t complain
I can’t, I can’t complain
Two state lines away
Still nothing has changed
Nothing, nothing has changed
Nothing, nothing will change
Do you remember
That song we tried to write when we were young
And oh, my god
I can’t even remember what we wrote about
But it, it was ours
We made it together
I’ll hold onto that
I’ll hold on forever
Forever
I keep the memories saved
With pictures in their frames
I can’t, I can’t complain
I can’t, I can’t complain
Two state lines away
Still nothing has changed
Nothing, nothing has changed
Nothing, nothing will change
