lyrics

Breakneck speeds with breakneck lives
With break-breakneck choices in the night
You've got two black eyes and bruised up thighs
He said, "I can fight if you can fight"
You know, I would be alright if I could make you mine
These can fix your brain if you just give it time
We can take it slow or can take it fast, either way I know that this will never last
Fuck you, then you fucked me and ruined everything
I felt trapped in our home, so I ran away
Your soul looked so pretty on outside
But on the inside, oh on the inside...


Missed you missed you, he asked "Can I kiss you?"
Love will always end in pain so please go get your tissues
Missed me missed me, I know that you hate me
Maybe he will love me, if I let you berate me


Missed you missed you, he asked "Can I kiss you?"
Love will always end in pain so please go get your tissues
Missed me missed me, I know that you hate me
Maybe he will love you, if I let you berate me


Can I please stay for a glass of wine?
Can I keep this book out if I pay the fine?
Her body gets weaker with the passing time
She said, "I can see my mom" as she died


I miss you so much that it fuckin' hurts
It's like I've got barbed wire in my chest comin' through my shirt
and when I hold someone it goes from my chest into theirs
Their heart, their mind, their dreams are mine


Alright (Alright)
Ten years ago I took you home
The poem that I wrote you couldn't leave my throat
Regret the day you walked away
Sorry I'm late

Be brave for me
drink up with me
smoke up with me
shoot up with me
Looked up to me.


Wild and free, feels meant to be
You know, there's towns to see and snakes in trees
With shaky knees, the ugly duckling drowned inside the stream
