there's nothing funny about it
avoiding how i feel
but i'm cracking jokes just to fill in the silence
like it's not even real
if i was boring you
you didn't have to stay
if you wanna talk over my favorite album
don't turn it on in the first place
it's getting harder to pretend
if not now then i don't know when
you're looking at me so sweet like i'm christmas morning
am i the only one around who knows a star that's burning out when i see it?
i keep decorating the house
so you think i'd never make a break for it
and the way you smile makes me furious
pretending we both don't just wanna quit
oh, it's getting harder to pretend
if not now then i don't know when
you're looking at me so sweet like i'm christmas morning
am i the only one around who knows a star that's burning out when i see it?
and i see it
i keep decorating the house

i will try to take this slow
but i can't help my mind
and i know what they say about communication
but i've always kept my keys too close
will i say too much again?
will i fuck it up again?
i'm gonna fuck it up again
again
and i can see the end
before it even begins
cause i'm gonna fuck it up again
again
sometimes i think my heart's too big
and everyone else has just enough
so i have far too much to give
and i am out of luck
too close
will i say too much again?
will i fuck it up again?
i'm gonna fuck it up again
again
and i can see the end
before it even begins
but you can hold me for now
but i promise i'll have my doubts
cause i'm gonna fuck it up again
cause i'm gonna fuck it up again
i'm gonna fuck it up again
again

howl

these trees sway so lonely
the wind howls in my ears
do you hear us dear?
we feel you here
my mind plays tricks on me
always tells me i'm alone- all alone
don't reach out, stay at home
just look how you've grown
please take care of me
i swear that i'm trying
but i am tired
i need to go to sleep
but how can this be?
i've been walking all these years
like a wolf without its pack
i'm just howling at the moon
i am lost in my head
oh, what can i do?
you are what i lack
a rebel without a clue
"i hate everything
everything but you"
please take care of me
i swear that i'm dying
but i am tired
i need to go to sleep
can you carry me?
cause i've been walking all these years
these trees sway so lonely
the wind howls in my ears

not feeling any better

i'm so tired of missing who you used to be
looking for trouble in likely places
and staring at my feet
i never really wanted to see you as a threat
and i hate playing the victim
but i learned from the best
you are my favorite regret
but lately, i've been into....
[chorus]
taking numbers, making lists
missing people who don't exist
and telling my friends that i'll be okay eventually
fighting thoughts and plugging leaks
pacing til i fall asleep
and not feeling any better
you know i can't let go of anything
like your bracelet that i lost
and the one that replaced it with the black beads
i wish that i could show you my pain
like how 47 haunts me
slow dancing and my key chain
you are my favorite regret
but lately, i've been into....
[chorus]
