I'm losing friends and it scares me to death Losing my voice telling myself that it's all in my head I'm losing friends I'm losing sleep And I'm not sure what it means, the bags under my eyes seem to be getting darker every morning I'm losing sleep I see what the devil sees, I listen when the devil speaks, I think we might all be demons when we want to be I can't afford to love I'm afraid if I give too much you'll leave Everyone does I'm losing friends and it scares me to death Losing hope and motivation I quit holding my breath Cause I'm losing friends I'm losing days, and telling myself it's okay I'm dreaming of crushed knees and what if my feet leave the pavement but I can't do it I'm losing days I see what the devil sees, I listen when the devil speaks, I think we might all be demons when we want to be I can't afford to love I'm afraid if I give too much you'll leave Everyone does I'm losing friends and it scares me to death I'm losing friends and it scares me to death I'm losing friends

Wait 02:56
Don't waste your time on someone unwilling to love you the way you deserve Don't bend over backwards as they walk away, when you miss them remember the hurt And when the right one comes along don't miss your chance over someone that's already gone Someday some lover will show you How beautiful being loved can be So stop looking for someone to complete you And wait for the one that makes you feel complete Don't waste your time on someone unwilling to take you the way that you are Don't you dare believe that you're less than enough, don't try to hide your scars When the right one comes along, you'll mean more than you know and they'll love you for all of your flaws

I've got 14 marks from the good old days My brother's blood running through my veins Forgive me, I wish I could've held the weight I've got 14 sparks from that good old flame And a stronger back, but I still have my days Forgive me, I haven't been in a good place I've been missing the days when I was missing home I'm not sure what home is I've been hoping solace finds me somewhere along the road God knows I need it You've got two hearts guarded at 17 And your brother's lost in a fit of rage Forgive me, I wish I could take your pain Spent too many days looking out for me I'm getting better now, but I still feel the rain Forgive me, I haven't been in a good place

Daisies 03:35
You remind me of daisies and baby's breath, cocaine and cigarette smoke You remind me of black marks on a pillowcase, whiskey and the pills it chased down You created a man that couldn't want you and gave him my name You imagined a tragedy that killed you and I took the blame I'm afraid I might relapse We've all got our vices that keep us crawling back Sometimes I still miss what I wish could be The man that you hate is a stranger to me You remind me of accents and pillow talk, cold-shouldered, dead-eyed, “don't touch me" You remind me of rooftops and love songs, and wasted second chances, I did no such thing You created a man that couldn't want you and gave him my name You imagined a tragedy that killed you and I took the blame

Almost 03:27
I am weak now, I am found out let my guard down again I'm equal parts let down and ashamed I let you in You're not a mystery, I figured out what I didn't know before Whatever's locked behind your eyes, I don't want it anymore “Almost" is such a heavy title to own In the arms of someone that doesn't want you, you still feel alone. You never felt like home Hold your silver tongue, I bought every line you've sold so far When January comes, I'd rather not be where you are How quickly we fall to being strangers again The ones close enough to touch are the most painful to miss “Almost" is such a heavy title to own In the arms of someone that doesn't want you, you still feel alone. I think it's in my nature to blame myself when things go wrong You never felt like home

Never Meant 03:52
I'm afraid you were right, I've always been self-involved I never meant to hurt anyone But every word I say feels wrong I'm afraid they were wrong, hell is not a place at all It's realizing that I'm truly alone At some point "I'm sorry" isn't enough But I never meant to hurt anyone I never meant to hurt anyone It's getting bad again, I don't know the person I've become I never meant to hurt anyone Treading water with my stomach in knots It's getting bad again, God, I'm starting to lose my head Biting my nails to the skin At some point, you've got to stop letting me in I always end up hurting everyone I never meant to hurt anyone
