i’ll take back myself

we were gonna get tattoos together in the summer
now we’re just matching mistakes
can you feel how i still miss her?
can still see your cold breath lingering in the air right in front of me
blowing out smoke, rolling laughing on the grass
for all to see
i hold onto your last words
and i’ll just wait until mine are heard
guess i could just fuck off
finally do you some good
believe me, right now
i would if i could
lipstick teeth, we fly down the highway in your car
now that you’ve left me here, you finally know who you are
i watch on the screen as her smile cuts its way into your cheeks
just stood by and watched as years disappeared by the end of the week
i hold onto your last words
and i’ll just wait until mine are heard
guess i could just fuck off
finally do you some good
believe me, right now
i would if i could
i hold onto your last words
and i’ll just wait until mine are heard
guess i could just fuck off
finally do you some good
believe me, right now
i would if i could

you’re my only 11:11 wish
you’re the taste on my lips that i wish that you could kiss right now
you’re the salt in my wounds and the void in this room
but i think you’ll be the one smelling her perfume
you’re the sweat of my brow
you’re the weight that’s pressing me down
and now you’re out out out of this town
if i could be anywhere else but here
this would be the voice that’s whispering in your ear
you’re the voice in my mind when i’m trying to go to sleep
when the thing i should be doing is counting sheep
tangled in sheets
you’re the call i pick up from miles away
how could i be so naïve to think that you could stay?
for just another day
you’re the weight that’s pressing me down
and now you’re out out out of this town
if i could be anywhere else but here
this would be the voice that’s whispering in your ear
i’m sick of conversations i can just have in the mirror
i’m sick and tired of waiting for just one more year
you’re the weight that’s pressing me down
and now you’re out out out of this town
if i could be anywhere else but here
this would be the voice that’s whispering in your ear
in your ear
in your ear

it’s too early to cry myself to sleep
but i can’t let you steal more time from me
you locked yourself away and can’t break down the walls
you lost yourself, something’s better than nothing at all
take the time you need
i'll tear you out
i’ll show you how
(dug your own grave, this mess we made)
don’t make a sound
you’re a ghost now
(dug your own grave, this mess we made)
you hid your skeletons and shut the closet door
but when you cut me open, which of us did you search for?
haunting houses, you’re not the same
always searching for someone else to blame
lay down the pictures frames, but your spirit still remains
i’ll tear you out
i’ll show you how
(dug your own grave, this mess we made)
don’t make a sound
you’re a ghost now
(dug your own grave, this mess we made)
take off the cloak, spirit
and show your true face
you can’t haunt what’s left of me

i grabbed my skateboard and left
this is the last you’ll see me walk away
don’t need back my things you kept
they were just holding me back anyway
like all of your fake friends
and every last weekend wasted over you
but it’s always friday night when you show up again
i still taste your cheap perfume
bet you this shit won’t wash out easily
caught myself drinking over you
it’s better than keeping myself busy
every day i
start losing myself
in a way i’m finally seeing clearly
‘cause i’ve got some good friends
and some peace of mind
and i don’t mind
it happens every night
every day i
start losing myself
in a way i’m finally seeing clearly
‘cause i’ve got some good friends i can call mine
and just enough peace of mind to be fine
come next friday night
every day i
start losing myself
in a way i’m finally seeing clearly
every day i
start losing myself
in a way i’m finally seeing clearly
‘cause I’ve got some good friends i can call mine
and just enough peace of mind to be fine
come next friday night
tt’s friday night
it’s friday night
i grabbed my skateboard and left
this is the last you’ll see me walk away
what’s the point of getting over it
when you’ll find your way back to me anyway?

i just want to be your change of pace
just be someone who can show you everything is okay
but i can’t even be that for myself
and i can’t see you here with someone else
honestly i could never be quite what you needed me to be
and it’s killing me but it’s okay
‘cause i’ll get over you one day
swear i’ll get over you one of these days
tell me what’s on your mind
don’t blame me for wasting time
now this is my time
can’t let you see me like this
a different girl
feet planted as i feel you drift
out of my world
i know you need your space
and i'd gladly give you galaxies
but when our minds are wearing thin
can only think to give apologies
and i’m done telling you i’m sorry
and i'm done thinking this will haunt me
tell me what’s on your mind
don’t blame me for wasting time
waste some more of my time
give another chance instead of giving up
“cause it’s not dead yet
not yet
can’t let you see me like this
a different girl
feet planted as i feel you drift
out of my world
i can’t see you here
somewhere else
so i let you drift away
can’t let you see me like this
a different girl
feet planted as i feel you drift
out of my world
can’t let you see me like this
a different girl
feet planted as i feel you drift
out of my world
(i know you need your space
and i’d gladly give you galaxies
but when our minds are wearing thin
can only think to give apologies
i know you needed space
and i gladly gave you galaxies)
out of my world

well sometimes i go out by myself
and i look across the water
and i think of all the things, what you're doing
and in my head i paint a picture
'cause since I've come on home,
well my body's been a mess
and i've missed your ginger hair
and the way you like to dress
won't you come on over
stop making a fool out of me
why don't you come on over, valerie?
did you have to go to jail,
put your house up on for sale
did you get a good lawyer?
i hope you didn't catch a tan,
i hope you'll find the right man who'll fix it for ya
and are you shoppin' anywhere,
changed the colour of you hair, are you busy?
and did you have to pay the fine
you were dodging all the time, are you still dizzy?
'cause since ince i've come on home,
well my body's been a mess
and i've missed your ginger hair
and the way you like to dress
won't you come on over
stop making a fool out of me
why don't you come on over valerie?
well sometimes i go out by myself
and i look across the water
and i think of all the things, what you're doing
and in my head i paint a picture
'cause since i've come on home,
well my body's been a mess
and i've missed your ginger hair
and the way you like to dress
won't you come on over
stop making a fool out of me
why don't you come on over valerie?
why don't you come on over valerie?

frozen, shaking, shaky hands
recollection through pillowcases
eyes cold, you’re close to me now, how?
a few blocks down
bruised knuckles and bloodied thighs
invitations, inspirations
smoke out the window
smoldering my lungs as i struggle to hold words
and blow them through my teeth
i wish i could take that image from your brain
i would wish this on my worst enemy
you
you owe me this one last favor, he will scream with handprints in the walls
screaming and someone’s crying
no time for New Years, and a missed call
twisted metal necklace
broken handcuffs, free, finally
the walls fall down around us, we’ll build them back up
don’t build them back up
smoke out the window
smoldering my lungs as i struggle to hold words
and blow them through my teeth
i wish i could take that image from your brain
i would wish this on my worst enemy
you
smoke out the window
smoldering my lungs as i struggle to hold words
and blow them through my teeth
am i the mouse to your serpent, eyes staring through the glass, bewildered?
i would wish this on my worst enemy
you

I Hope You See This

i can’t persist
i can’t feel this
into abyss
i reminisce
you go out, we start to sway
ain’t it funny how time just drifts away?
pick up the phone, repeat the cliché
how did i become your stowaway?
let it burn to let it die
god knows i’ll try to survive
i know i’ll take back what is mine
back when it was you and i
swallowing soap to scrub you out
of everything i’ve thought about
i’ll rinse my mouth and spit you out
i’ll take back myself
i go out, it’s not the same
ain’t it funny how you said it’ll be okay?
put down the phone, leave it alone
i hope you’ll see this someday
let it go to let it die
it’s time to say all of our goodbyes
run away, take your time
you’ve managed to leave us all behind
swallowing soap to scrub you out
of everything i’ve thought about
i’ll rinse my mouth and spit you out
i’ll take back myself
bite my tongue, guard up, high-strung
you’re a hit-and-run, you’re my come undone
take a step back, see what you’ve done
i’ll take back myself
if i could take back what i’ve done
maybe i’d never succumb
if i could take back what i’ve done
i might see what you’ve become
swallowing soap to scrub you out
of everything i’ve thought about
i’ll rinse my mouth and spit you out
i’ll take back myself
bite my tongue, guard up, high-strung
you’re a hit-and-run, you’re my come undone
take a step back, see what you’ve done
I’ll take back myself

sneak your way out of my room by midnight
‘cause i’ll do alright on my own
yeah, i’ve been thinking way too much since the 4th of july
when you stopped picking up the phone
it’s been way too goddamn long
since i’ve been over
sober
i’ve been sleeping just as fine without you
rather stay up at night instead
‘cause i’ve missed being alone
my house just ain’t your home
and it’s hard to admit i can’t kick this habit
it’s been way too goddamn long
since i’ve been closer
to feeling anything at all like myself
you’re tearing me apart
and it’s so hard to remember
why i sang along
to all of your sad songs
and i don’t mind
that you’re long gone
now maybe i’ll stop hanging on
i'm hoping you’ll need this one day
still hoping you’ll see this someday
why sing along
to all of your sad songs?
why sing along
to all of your sad songs?
and i don’t mind
‘cause you’re long gone
maybe i’ll stop hanging on
hanging on
