So i guess it starts again
There's another girl in my life
I was a little scared at first
But you set me right
And if I hurt you again
I hope I do it right
'Cause you can never learn how to love
without loving to learn about
keeping it cool when you're
Dying to try
How have you been?
Have you been okay?
Have you been making sure to give me space
Or are you just another crack in my oxygen tank
I hope you're doing alright
We all know you're not
It takes a thing called presence
And the looks you've got
I hope you know by now
That this is just an excuse
And i love how you say it's all my fault
When i'm the one you use

Good Times

Good Times, they're fast and obscene
Because we can't quite think of anything to do tonight
Good Times, they're short and they're mean
Because you're too afraid to admit you're alone tonight
Good Times, they steal from our senses
And put the here and now in place of our tenses
Good Times, the churches say that they're sin
But they're the only way we get together again
Good Times, we gotta have good times
we need to have good times
in order to lead good lives

The Words
02:43

And I am afraid
Of being afraid
Just keep dipping those words in spices
That you never had to say
Tell me a story where i fall in love with you
And in this story you fall in love too
And we can pretend that if words just don't matter much
We clean our mouths and forget what we've said
When you said that you loved me
You said in a different way
But since love is a feeling and feelings aren't real
This is starting to feel like the hardest thing i could say
And i am afraid of being afraid
Just pretend that the radio silence
were the words we should always say

We're all liars
In the eyes of you and me
Why am I so tired
All i wanted was to sleep
Suicide hurts
But it hurts the same to me
We're all liars
That's what we started off to be

You've got to sell yourself
Before you know yourself
You've got to find yourself
Before you know who you are
You've got to please yourself
In order to be yourself
You've got to fuck yourself
Before you know who you are
And if you claim you don't need help
You're no different than myself
And the reason why you still can't learn
Is because you can only help yourself
Fear and love
I don't know which one hurts more
But I'd rather fear a lover
Than love another girl that treats me like another chore
Give and take
You and I were just one big mistake
I can't figure out what made us this way
Since you never claim fault then I'm to blame
This letter is a signal
How lowly it may seem
That you should start praying
To a God you claim that you have never seen

You've got me talking about love again
But how can you talk about love if you've never been in love in the first place
And it may not seem fair today
But you will see things my way
And you don't speak to my face
You will always find a way
And joking about what scares me
Just further prepares me
For every girl that will ask me if I'm alright
You're alright
And i curse myself to this day
Of all the things that i say
You're a nice girl i just never could force myself to see
And still I can't hold my ground
And no one wants to hear my sound
I'll just add it to everything else that fails me

A Perfect Blue

Silence, oh what a perfect place to retreat
Given the absence of your voice cannot compete
And if you find my mind please give it back to me
I think i lost it somewhere when you said you found a friend in me
Friends
Till the end
This is starting to look like a trend
I never meant to offend
And if you ever thought that i could be a better man
Has the entire universe ever had a better plan
And if you ever thought the truth would be comforting to you
Has the ocean or the sky ever met a perfect blue
And if you ever see me with a smile on my face
Is there nothing perfect in the entire human race
And if you ever feel lonely in the emptiness, the dark
To mend a broken heart
