Mo(u)rning 03:51
The mornings are hard I wake up licking my wounds, surveying my scars Hiding in the quiet Trapped in my head As I'm swimming through the tangle of sheets on the bed I'm drowning quick I'm already pulled into the thick of it A million things to say Not yet hushed by the distractions of the day I look to you I look to you Hours before dawn I stifle screaming thoughts with a silent yawn The cold and distant light Hid by sheets of grey and endless night I'll be alright I'm not ok But I'll survive A million things to say Not yet hushed by the distractions of the day I turn to you I turn to you I turn to you

Tell me something Tell me a story Tell me something I don't know Tell me something Tell me your bad dreams Tell me when you close your eyes, what you see Tell me how we went this long Only hearing half the song Never knowing just how wrong we were before Tell me something Tell me how we got this far Tell me how we let our hearts lose control And tell me something Tell me how I fucked this up Tell me that you've had enough Tell me how I made that call Not to even think at all Tell me how I'm supposed to fall from grace Tell me something Tell me what I'm supposed to do Tell me how to live without you

Wrong 04:23
I look at my phone every ten seconds Been left to my own devices for too long I can't control the thoughts inside my head I wish I were dead Or is that too honest? I'll try to tone it down a little bit Cause I know that you can't handle it I thought telling the truth would bring me closer to you But I was wrong I lie on my kitchen floor, scrolling through pictures Imagine all of the ways it could have played out I wish I could forget the words you said This feeling of dread The shadows of promise I'll try to choke it down a little more 'Cause I know my crumbling heart's become a chore Well I thought I you saw all of me, but in reality You only saw what you wanted So I'll try to push it down a little more Just enough to get my feet out the door I'll smile at strangers on the street, and all the people I meet Will never know, never know You're letting me go So I'll try to tone it down a little bit Cause I know that I can't handle it Well I thought telling the truth would bring me closer to you But I was wrong I was wrong I was wrong

How 03:42
How do you fall out of love? How do you stop thinking 'bout all that you've been thinkin' of? Do you make a deal with down below or promises up above? How do you fall out of love? How do you learn not to care? How can you pretend that what you're hung up on just isn't there? How do you trick your mind into being casually unaware? How do you learn not to care? How should I pass you on the street? How do I look you in the eye when our eyes meet? Do I keep on pushin' straight ahead or stand there in defeat? How do I pass you on the street? How do you fall out of love? How do you stop thinking 'bout all that you've been thinkin' of? Do you make a deal with down below or promises up above? How do you fall out of love?
