You'll die. Waiting by the phone. You'll die. Waiting by the phone. There's nothing left in your apartment but teary eyes and bullshit, and I don't know why I still drive by here. From what you came to show me (there's nothing left in your apartment) you don't even know me (but cigarettes and bullshit!) or care enough to show me you care. And I won't be petty, but I think I'm ready for something more steady than you. It's just too much effort for someone to put forth to get you to tell me the truth. And I won't be petty, but I think I'm ready for something more steady than all of your bullshit, and I won't be petty, but I think I'm ready for something more steady than you. (I WON'T, I WON'T CALL!)

I guess it’s time we take this thing outside and kill it before it hurts someone And I guess it’s time we reconcile our differences if we ever want to get anything done And I keep my friends close like my bedroom window when I’m at home alone on winter break ‘Cause I’ll freeze to death if I hear your name This partnership is sinking faster than I was ever ready for I know what we’re headed for It’s the end of the line And i’m doing fine Don’t kiss me goodbye Your lies written in your lipstick Your body was his bare witness So let’s just be friends and forget the past I knew this was never meant to last Your lies written on your lips And if I wanna tie you down Commitment’s not enough I don’t wanna call you But I’m calling your bluff So don’t pick up the phone I’d rather be alone Your lies written on your lipstick Your body was his bare witness So let’s just be friends and forget the past I knew this was never meant to last Your lies written on your lips And I need this like I need a gun to my head I wrote you off and wrote you onto his bed We fashion weapons from fashion statements And come full circle invested in fool’s gold We fashion weapons from fashion statements And come full circle invested in fool’s gold We fashion weapons from (I wish that we had never come) fashion statements and come full circle invested in fool’s gold Your lies written on your lipstick Your body was his bare witness So let’s just be friends and forget the past I knew this was never meant to last Your lies written on your kiss

I can't forgive you But I can't-can't-can't forget you You're the scent in my clothes You're the aching in my bones We never talked about it Just fucking danced around it Now that I'm finally home, I never felt so alone I hate the way you twist my words around, New plots will fill the holes we split in this town The way we thought that we that we were in love The way we thought that we would die young Just come home Say that you're sorry, say that I'm right Do the right thing for once in your life (For once in your life) The worst mistake I ever made: Was choosing "nice" over "honest," I'm sorry I'm hard to live with She's The Summer, and I'm Late August And I'd tear this town apart, if I could piece us back together Just come home Say that you're sorry, say that I'm right Do the right thing for once in your life Take them all back, your vicious attacks Put your hand on my heart and swear it was All Your Fault The wind howls through a fire that lights up the fall It hit me like a ton of bricks when we hit the wall I can't forgive you, but I can't just let you Go Just come home I'll say that I'm sorry, I'll say that you're right I'll do the right thing for once in my life I'll take them all back, my vicious attacks Put my hand on your heart and pretend it was All my fault

Six degrees of separation anxiety I don't know if she's right for me But she can spend tonight with me You're insecure, so hold on to me so tight (so tight) I'm so unsure, but I'm sure it's gonna be a long night, Bright eyes And if you'll let me, I promise you'll regret me I'm not the kinda boy who gets too deep But if you make your move I promise I can be the kinda boy that makes an exception for you! [Mike Hayden of Count To Four] I'm all alone, but you're with me right now (right now) You're on the phone tryin' to talk him down And if you solve his problems, you'll become one of mine And I'll just stay here with you, and pretend I'm alright Pretend I'm just fine Turn the other cheek and turn a blind eye And if you let me go, Please let me know! And if you'll let me, I promise you'll regret me I'm not the kinda boy who gets too deep But if you make your move I promise I can be the kinda boy that makes an exception for you [Mike Hayden] Don't waste another day, Don't burn your time away I don't care if this love could kill me or not Pull the trigger on us just take the shot Pull the trigger on us just take the shot!

Do you ever regret letting us go? Do you lie awake at night and wish that you could take my hand and know? Do you want to feel the rush of blood to your head again? Do you want to feel the wind in your pretty heir to the throne? Make sure you come alone, and don't tell anyone I'm gonna sing you every ransom note of this song: It was always you, Anna Marie This is my insanity plea, here with you standing with me Do you ever miss the taste of my kiss? Made you a mixtape and heard you dubbed your demo over it I need a fix, cash my reality check I don't want lies, want you to lie down And I'll break the news to your neck Make sure you come alone, and don't tell anyone I'm gonna sing you every suicide note of this song: It was always you, Anna Marie This is my insanity plea, here with you standing with me You can knock me down and out, like I need something to frown about But you'll always be the girl I'll tell this town about [Eric Taft] I spent the last four years trying to let you go Trying to keep these wounds And my friends close This is where you take my hand, we both get on stage and break the world's smallest violin (I spent the last four years trying to let you go Trying to keep these wounds And my friends close) This is where you take my hand, we both get on stage and break the world's smallest violin It was always you, Anna Marie This is my insanity plea, here with you standing with me You can knock me down and out, like I need something to frown about But you'll always be the girl I'll tell this Lie about
