Stop waiting for the good things Stop accepting what you cannot change Stop blaming everything on fate Start doubting yourself doubt Start by opening up your mouth Start believing what comes out Don’t know what you’re waiting for I’m not waiting anymore Stay strong because you need to Stay awake instead of sleeping through Stay mad because they cheated you Stand still and maybe they won’t see us Stand down and then they will mistreat us Stand up and they can not defeat us

It must take up so much time To make sure everybody knows The things you like and things that you don’t Brave of you to just assume That anybody cares, Never had much self awareness You’re busy talking so much shit I should plant a little garden in your mouth If you managed not to choke on it It’d be prettier than what’s coming out I can see you in the dark Sitting all alone Sending messages to people you don’t know Your energy won’t slow me down I can only wish you well Can’t help those who won’t help themselves You’re busy talking so much shit I should plant a little garden in your mouth If you managed not to choke on it It’d be prettier than what’s coming out Guess nobody holds you when you’re feeling broken And you never learned that every thought doesn’t need to be spoken

Birthday 02:43
I lied, but part of it was true Just enough in case you called my bluff That’s something that you’d do I didn’t want to watch you show off with your friends I can’t stand any of them, and they don’t like me, too Don’t know how this went on for so long But you like to act, and maybe I just played along Well I didn’t go to your birthday, Cause I didn’t want to be friends with you anymore. I knew it’s something that you’d hate Your favorite thing to celebrate and I pretend I forgot the date I never met someone as selfish as yourself You never offered help in that fake way that we always say Let me know if there is anything I can do What did I expect, it had nothing to do with you Instead of talk it out, I would rather disappear Things are working out, we haven’t spoken in 10 years Well I didn’t go to your birthday, Cause I didn’t want to be friends with you anymore.

Just Stay 03:44
One is too much, but 100’s not enough Will it always be this way One little nudge and suddenly I’m up against the edge of another day Somewhere in the inbetween You were here, but now you’re leaving Stay, stay with me tonight It’s the only way I get to see you anymore Please just stay It feels so real, like you’ve just been waiting here With nowhere else you have to be Then you disappear for days, for weeks, for months, for years Each time you take a part of me I will keep my eyes shut tight Wish I may and wish I might just Stay, stay with me tonight It’s the only way I get to see you anymore Please just stay Stay, I know it’s in my mind But I never wanted anything this badly before You are waiting for a train to (take you far away) Where it’s headed you don’t know (I have to let you go) Miss you more than I can bear (we had our time together) Musn’t be afraid to dream a little bigger darling.

Karma doesn’t work the way we thought Maybe in small bits, but not a lot Took me long enough to learn No one really gets what they deserve Cause I’d take it three times more If it meant that you’d get yours I have hope that what we reap we so We buried seeds so deep how could they grow Took me long enough to learn No one really gets what they deserve Cause I’d take it three times more If it meant that you’d get yours And I know we’ve all been warned To be careful what you wish for I wished for this
