there's something in the atmosphere
that sends a deep shiver down my spine
an overwhelming sense of fear
as i make my way from the street to the parking lot
had a little much to drink
i'm thinking maybe i should see if you're alone tonight
broken bottles scatter the floor
i'm thinking maybe i should retrace all my steps tonight
you don't seem the same
(don't worry)
that smile
(don't worry)
doesn't suit you
(don't panic)
i can't stand the way
(don't worry)
you hesitate
(don't worry)
to make decisions
(don't panic)
i want to know your secret.
i want to know what keeps you here.
i ripped your painting off the wall
what'd you expect?
you wouldn't even talk
remember the last time i saw you?
probably not, you wouldn't even look at me
swaying sideways, back and forth
i watch you and him walk out the door

so tired
and anxious
and tempted to take this for granted.
you dragged me down,
back and forth.
set fire to a soul that's already been burnt out
you're just finding reasons to make this
harder than it has to be
(for better or for worse)
i know i can't be the only one
sick and tired of talking about the weather
why can't we talk about it?
why can't we talk about the way it all went down?
why can't we talk about it?
why can't we talk about the way it all went south?
step back
take a deep breath
and reevaluate the situation.
realize
you've never known yourself.
you made a mess and left it where it was.
and i can't balance who i am and who i used to be.
this can't be,
this can't be the only way back.
(the only way back)
this can't be,
it can't be the only way back.
and it hurts too much to say
we got lost along the way.
what about us?
what about us?
did you think i was alone last night?
did you believe that i'd always be right?
and did you think that i would always, that i'd always be there for you?

Remember This Bridge
05:05

i just thought that this would weather away after a while,
but i guess i was wrong.
i was hoping we could make amends and leave off right where we were.
and I can't remember how it felt,
can't remember how it felt,
can't remember anymore.
oh, i can't remember how it felt,
can't remember how it felt,
can't remember anymore.
i just thought that this would take some time to subside,
but i guess i was wrong.
you can't just set in stone your plans for all your life,
it's not that simple.
you left me with silent, awkward motions.
your promises broke and left me weak.
you're such a mess, so just go.
i need to clear my head.

Part Two

well i guess i found another reason
that i want you to know.
(please don't worry)
i have a stable state of mind that i can show
when we get home.
(please don't worry)
familiar shattered glass and hand in hand
will be my crutch if i so need one.
(please don't worry)
my skin, it crawls as i invite
your timid smile here to stay.
(please don't worry)
'cause i don't wanna be here without you
i won't hesitate.
i don't have a reason to doubt you
i just want to say,
you have me now.
these walls are so exhausted of the
talks that weigh us down.
(please don't worry)
you and i have earned
the warmest weather of the south.
(please don't worry)
aches and pains and everybody's watching.
i need you to feel better.
(please don't worry)
now i know you're my biggest weakness.
i welcome you to weaken all my bones.
(please don't worry)
too tired to speak,
move a little closer now.
'cause i don't wanna be here without you
i won't hesitate.
(too tired and weak)
i don't have a reason to doubt you
i just want to say,
(too tired to speak)
you have me now.

Holla Atchya Boi
03:51

i drove to your house and
broke through the back door.
i stood there and stared,
had nothing to look for.
i woke up afraid that i'd never find love.
i was frozen in guilt and anxious as fuck.
i laid there in bed with no motivation.
broken inside 'cause i couldn't take it.
you were never that important to me,
until i couldn't have you anymore.
you got up and left
with no explanation.
i covered it up
and said it was nothing.
something about your passive aggressive
comments about being passive aggressive
got the best of me.
you're right.
i can't take it.
with all these false emotions
that i regret to say we had.
it's harder now to think that,
i thought this could change.

Titus (the Waterman)
04:49

i keep looking for reasons
to be mad at you.
it's just that sometimes the truth
is a little less realistic than the lies.
the things we make up in our head
to make us feel alive.
you're so afraid to love
it's the saddest thing i've ever seen.
you're the only one that seems to make me feel complete.
keep convincing yourself that i'm the problem
when i'm the only real thing left to hold onto.
these empty conversations,
we never get to say the things,
things that we want to say.
in a way i feel like you're so out of reach.
come undone, i want you to breathe how you breathe.
how many sips till we finish the bottle?
how many pulls till we're feeling alive?
how many drinks till we sink to the bottom?
how much till we're done, till we can't feel at all?
how many drinks till we sink to the bottom?
how many pulls till we can't feel at all?
how much more, till we're feeling like we're nothing at all?
