The sun is rising and the birds are telling me
That I should go back to bed, go back to sleep
But you said that we could grab coffee
Now I’m trying to figure out why you are twenty minutes late
‘Cause traffic ain’t that bad, yeah it is seven on a sunday
And you were always there when my alarm wouldn’t wake me up
But it's been three years since then
And now I’m always the one who’s running late
And how I wish that you could see me now
Oh how I know you would be so fucking proud
That you were the one I built my life around
Never becoming but that’s all come crashing down
You stunted me like caffeine
Now my heart skips a beat
Whenever I try to get clean
This whitener can’t get the coffee stains off my teeth
My friends are outside getting fucked up on the porch
And I’m not trying to be mean but I’m kind of bored
I could fix that with a drink or a puff
But my sleeping habits are self-destructive enough
You’re always saying I should try and get some rest
After five hours I’m at my best
And when I close my eyes I see you in my dreams
So I don’t want to sleep because I’m scared of what that means
Stunted me like caffeine
Now my heart skips a beat
Whenever I try to get clean
This whitener can’t get the coffee stains off my teeth
Well
My chest is flatter than an ironing board
And you can only see my abs if you squint really hard
Don’t even get me started on these twigs I call arms
And my curves aren’t even hot enough to keep you warm
I can safely say that you weren’t as ambitious
To try and keep me oh so nutritious
As you seemed
Whatever that means
And you don’t need to wake me anymore
I’ll just wake up by myself
And you don’t worry about my health, about my sleep, about my skin
About who’s in my head when I finally go to bed
Not that you did anyways

I’m no good at beginnings
So why should anything inbetween be any different?
I pick up speed
Let me start over
Back when I didn’t need to repent for hellos that made you wish that I
Would go away
Back where I came from
I’m only home when I’m alone
You should know better than anyone
I’d be done with everybody if not for you
Make an exception to your rule
Or run it to its end
I know there’s places that you’d never go
Without a friend
When you held me in the dark
And put your hand against my heart
It’s never quite what it seems
Your eyes scream I hate you
But your words say
I swear to god that isn’t what I mean
I guess
It doesn’t matter
That I’d rather hear you say
I want nothing to do with you
I’d be done with everybody if not for you
Make an exception to your rule
Or run it to its end
I know there’s places that you’d never go
Without a friend
When you held me
x5
I’d be done with everybody if not for you
Make an exception to your rule
Or run it to its end
I know there’s places that you’d never go
Without a friend
(Yeah)
x2
When you held me in the dark and put your hand against my heart
You pushed away

Young and weak
New to the taste of someone’s lips
You looked at me
Said that I was all you need
And I, I believed
But out you went
To hang around with other girls
And pics you sent
But still you claimed I was the one
And I, I believed
You say that I broke your heart but
Maybe you should keep in mind the way that you broke mine
Not right
They Said
You deserve so much more
But they
Weren’t there
Your eyes showed how much you cared
But now
I see
I was blind
‘Cause
Loyal guys don’t keep secrets
And don’t get drunk with other girls
They don’t take their clothes off at parties
And then make unfaithful jokes
Yet I’m not supposed to be hurt
I gave you everything
Your words don’t mean anything
Actions speak louder than words
And five months is all it took
For me to figure out what you truly meant
You say that I broke your heart
You say that I broke your heart but
You broke mine

I wanna leave here, drive away in in my car
But not that far, we never got that far
I miss the friends that would judge me
For ever thinking it was you, and not me
All those fears I cried about to you
Well they came true, yeah they came true
I wrote a list of what I had to lose
And at the top of it was you
You are
My Rose
But I’ve got
Covered windows
Sunlight
Is missing you
But you prick me every time I try to move you
You said keep trying
But I can’t find
The will to move on
Guess I’ll keep lying to myself saying that
That I’ve finally let go
Your bags are packed up, they’re waiting at the door
Why do I have to leave, I’ll help you pack yours
You’ve got all these problems
Maybe one more Palm Bay’ll solve them
At least it makes her a little more pretty but
It doesn’t make things any less shitty when
You miss Malibu but the only thing I miss is holding you
We can go together like we’re meant to
Like I always see all of my friends do
But I can’t carry my own weight
So why would you ever trust me with yours cause
You are
My Rose
But I’ve got
Covered windows
Sunlight
Is missing you
But you prick me every time I try to move you
You said keep trying
But I can’t find
The will to move on
Guess I’ll keep lying to myself saying that
That I’ve finally let go
Go on, go on, go on
Get going, get lost, get gone
Because it’s hard to forget you with all your empties on my lawn
You say you don’t mean any harm
But when you put your hand on her arm
It burns, it burns
Talking doesn’t get us anywhere
It’s hard not to feel like you don’t care
About me, guess we’re the same
You are
My Rose
But I’ve got
Covered windows
Sunlight
Is missing you
But you prick me every time I try to move you
You said keep trying
But I can’t find
The will to move on
Guess I’ll keep lying to myself saying that
That I’ve finally let go
x3
That I've finally moved on

This is my new start
And this is my new life
Take it how you will
Or take it how you like
I don’t want no trouble
I just want to fight
So put me in the ring
Throw me the first punch
And show we what you got
I will be all bite
And you can be all talk
Only pride I have
Is knowing that I fought
For me to just be me
I’ve broke from the grasp
And I am feeling free
I’m singing my own song
And marching to my beat
I am living large
All of you will see
I am Queen of the ring
Throw me the first punch
And show we what you got
I will be all bite
And you can be all talk
Only pride I have
Is knowing that I fought
For me to just be me
I put up a hard front
What if I can't be what I want?
I’m trying to be strong
What if I’m getting this all wrong?
But I can feel it inside of me
This is who I’m supposed to be
WOO!
