manners

you want to put my manners to a test
take me on a date
take me to a show
stay out with me real late
manners? you think i’ve got manners?
maybe i’d enjoy a show
yea i like to stay out late
but why in fucking hell would you want to take me on a date?
manners? you think i’ve got manners?
now we’re at the top of the stairs
the last trains coming soon
time for a weird goodbye
or should i kiss you?
courage you think i’ve got courage?
to trust your good intentions
to think i mean something to you
to hope that you won’t hurt me
to see you again real soon?
forgiveness? you think i can forgive myself?
for falling way to quickly
for thinking your words were true
for letting you hurt and use me
for falling in love with you
manners? you think i've got manners?

broken mirror

my thoughts reflect off you
like light on a broken mirror
most of it gets lost in the cracks
i feel like I’m gonna disappear
feeling broken and empty
at the lowly age of 22
all i can think about is you
and the cracks you engraved in my heart
cause every time i want something
it’s fleeting it slips away
how can i find a way
to feel much better than i do everyday
now you’re just a memory
and i'm forgotten by you
it’s been more than a year
since that faithful day you told me we were through
and I hate being ignored
i'm feeling worthless and shitty
pathetically sitting in the dark
reminiscing on all my bad luck
feeling broken and empty
at the lowly age of 22
all i can think about is you
and the cracks you engraved in my heart
cause every time i want something
it’s fleeting it slips away
how can i find a way
to feel much better than i do everyday
feeling broken and empty
at the lonely age of 22
all i can think about is you
and the cracks you engraved in my heart
i’m just trying not to fall apart

curtains

i’m trying to wait it out
i’m trying to wait it out
but i don’t have the confidence
and i don’t want to regret
being honest is such a burden
it’s like drawing up the curtains
so my body is drenched in light
and i’m visible, a crystal clear sight
but I’m trying to do it
my instincts are piercing through the words i don’t say
i guess i should try
i guess i should go on the path that i know i should take
just give me a break
just give me a break

don't expect better

remember that night when we kissed and you left on the train
you told me not to worry but i knew something was about to change
i could feel it in the chill of the winter air as it brushed across my face
that nothing this good could ever last for me
and my mind began to race
the days got longer and i remember the day
that you told me you needed space
i guess the 100 miles that separated us
they weren’t good enough for u
it wasn’t good enough for u
and it’s pretty fucking clear i wasn't good enough for you
and there was no hope in us
and if there was
it was ripped away by you
it was ripped away by you
and as the nights got colder, i felt myself slipping away
i'm telling you nothing good lasts for more than a single second
i'm starting to think that those rare moments of happiness were pretend
i'm sitting outside at 3am chain smoking cigarettes
this last year has been as fucked up as ever
the saddest part is that i don't expect better

vodka is lame

no i can't tell you
when i see you
i turn away
try and act cool
put on a front
that i'm tough
take a puff
of my cigarette
i'm insecure
hope you can't tell
i kind of like you
i don't want to know
if you like me too
i'm such a liar
yes, i do
i see you walking on campus
pretend i don't see you
you smile and say hi
i try not to act like a fool
smile awkwardly back at you
am i too weird for you
cause i can't tell
i can't tell you you're hot
what if you think i'm not
i'm just lame and shy
don't ask why
but i hate falling for guys
i need to grow a pair
now i'm twirling my hair
take a swig of my flask
vodka is lame
i have no game
i think i really dig you
hope i see you again soon
so i can turn my head to the ground
and pretend i'm cool
i want to know if you like me too
