Terribly Right

I know I’m a scar in the making

I know I’m the biggest risk you’ve met

But this chance I hope you’re taking

To love me like I have only heard it said

 

I’ve seen love

Go so, so wrong

But I’ve seen you

Be terribly right

If I need love

Which that I don’t know that I do

I still need you

I still need you

 

I know all the times it’s hurt you bad

I know I could be the worst of the blows

But I could be the best thing to happen to yet

I could make you happy, who knows

 

I’ve seen love

Go so, so wrong

But I’ve seen you

Be terribly right

If I need love

Which that I don’t know that I do

I still need you

I still need you

Suit & Tie

Who needs a future

I wanted everything else

Your ties a noose now

Your suit’s a costume

Better fit for a clown

 

There’s only death left

Myself is shamed at its face

I promised independence

And I let them rattle my teeth

My faith is shaken

A god I can’t find

The day I woke up

To put on a suit and tie

 

Who needs any of it

I want everything else

My paycheck’s all gone now

My car’s sitting at the bottom of a lake

 

There’s only death left

Myself is shamed at its face

I promised independence

And I let them rattle my teeth

My faith is shaken

A god I can’t find

The day I woke up

To put on a suit and tie

 

Where is what matter's most

What is this feeling of regret

My path is worn out

Am I the only one who feels this?

 

There’s only death left

Myself is shamed at its face

I promised independence

And I let them rattle my teeth

My faith is shaken

A god I can’t find

The day I woke up

To put on a suit and tie

Someone Like Me

I wanna be in love

Be in love

With someone like me

I bet it’s hard

Bet it’s hard

To be

 

I cling and I push

And I pull and I cry

Sometimes I do it all twice

I cling and I push

And I pull and I cry

I make myself ask why

Anyone, anyone

Falls in love

With someone like me

With someone like me

 

I wanna watch you love

Watch you love

With someone like me

It’s not hard

It’s not hard

To believe

 

I cling and I push

And I pull and I cry

Sometimes I do it all twice

I cling and I push

And I pull and I cry

I make myself ask why

Anyone, anyone

Falls in love

With someone like me

With someone like me

 

I try but I don’t

And I scream and I pray

That someone like you

Will still love

I break and I build

And I hide and I pray

That someone like you’ll

Still love someone like me

Someone like me

 

I cling and I push

And I pull and I cry

Sometimes I do it all twice

I cling and I push

And I pull and I cry

I make myself ask why

Anyone, anyone

Falls in love

With someone like me

With someone like me

Picking Flowers

I’ve seen the danger

Of living life in peace

When they make you swallow

It’s okay to show them gritting teeth

You don’t need anyone

Who doesn’t like what you’ll become

 

Pick flowers for yourself

Because everyone’s will die

When they say it’s love

Just know that' sometimes that’s a lie

I know it’s sad

To be the one alone

Pick flowers for yourself

You can light up your own room

 

Got hands tied up in the attachment

Another messy match made

Somewhere lower than heaven

A town called jailed bait

You don’t need anyone

Who won’t like what you’ve become

 

Pick flowers for yourself

Because everyone’s will die

When they say it’s love

Just know that' sometimes that’s a lie

I know it’s sad

To be the one alone

Pick flowers for yourself

You can light up your own room

 

I’ve seen the danger

Of living life in peace

When they make you swallow
