You gave me hope
That’s what I wrote
On the bathroom wall
In soap
So I’d remember
But I guess with time
It just faded away like the water
Down the drain
But I let it go
Cause I’d known all along that this is what you’d do
But amongst all of the fights and sour words
I never actually saw a life without you
And now there’s a gaping hole inside of me
Must be somewhere near my lungs cause I can’t breathe
Ooo aah x3
And maybe we were dysfunctional
Buts its all I had
You were something I could hold onto
But you never held back
But amongst all of the fights and sour words
I never actually saw a life without you
And now there’s a gaping hole inside of me
Must be somewhere near my lungs cause I can’t breathe
Ooo aah x3

Oh Darling

Have you heard about what happened to her
Have you seen her stand by the waterside
With a bottle in her hand
Drying tears from her eyes
And have you smelt the smoke that sticks to her breath
And have you seen the state of her clothes and her hair
She can’t hear anymore
She’s too far gone
And oh darling
Just fade back into the wall
Don’t look up, don’t stand tall
Just melt right into the floorboards
And oh darling
And I heard that she lost her only son
And then her man ran away with a knife and a gun
She can’t love anymore
There’s no one to cheat on
And she spends a lot of time outside of my door
Cause she knows she feels safe but can’t remember what for
She can’t talk anymore
But that’s not her fault
And oh darling
Just fade back into the wall
Don’t look up, don’t stand tall
Just melt right into the floorboards
And oh darling
Just fade back into the wall
Don’t look up, don’t stand tall
Just melt right into the floorboards
And oh darling
And oh darling
And oh darling

Woke up this morning feeling way too sober
I could see everything crystal clear
My head wasn’t spinning and my mind wasn’t wandering
Bitter reality began to set in
Turn on the TV watch the news this morning
Massacre in Paris, 100 are dead
Family are crying and friends are mourning
I went to my room and I cried on my bed
And why am I the one that has to feel like this
I’ve got too much to live for, too much to give
And why am I the one that has to feel like this
I’ve got too much to live for, too much to give
And I would’ve thought that things would be better by now
And I would’ve thought by now we woulda worked this out
Cause I’m tired of all the fighting and all the deaths
And I’m tired of the terror and the bitterness
And I’m tired of feeling helpless and supressed
And waiting around for change
Mmm
Found myself walking through the city this morning
I’d been alone for days and wanted company
But even though I was surrounded by faces
Nobody took the time to notice me
And why am I the one that has to feel like this
I’ve got too much to live for, too much to give
And why am I the one that has to feel like this
I’ve got too much to live for, too much to give
And I would’ve thought that things would be better by now
And I would’ve thought by now we woulda worked this out
Cause I’m tired of all the fighting and all the deaths
And I’m tired of the terror and the bitterness
And I’m tired of feeling helpless and supressed
And waiting around for change
Mmm
And you can lose respect for me
Just because I chose the easy path
Just because I chose to drown this shit in wine
And you can look down and pity me
But you’re the one blessed with ignorance
Look at all this
How can you blame me, how can you blame me
And I would’ve thought that things would be better by now
And I would’ve thought by now we woulda worked this out
Cause I’m tired of all the fighting and all the deaths
And I’m tired of the terror and the bitterness
And I’m tired of feeling helpless and supressed
And waiting around for change
Mmm

Are You Satisfied

Look at all this
Is this really all we’re living for?
Cause you’ve changed the way
Everything tastes
It tastes so bitter
It should taste sweet
My home is just a house now
Its so empty
And things were far from good, but at least we were comfortable
But you decided you were drowning, and that you’d drown us with you
And are you happy now, are you finally satisfied
Now that everyone here is just as unhappy as you
Your so lonely now
You probably can’t see why
You needed somebody, anybody, to look at you
And cry
And its your fault
You’ll never see that
Your too busy blaming everybody else
And things were far from good, but at least we were comfortable
But you decided you were drowning, and that you’d drown us with you
And are you happy now, are you finally satisfied
Now that everyone here is just as unhappy as you
Look at all this
Is this really all we’re living for?

Lately I’ve been trying not to think
Been trying to block you
From my mind
But every time I do
It burns cause you’re not thinking of me too
Lately I’ve been dreaming about you
And what would happen if you only knew
But every time I do
It burns cause you don’t say I love you too
And this is the worst thing
That could possibility come from my situation
How did I fall so hard
And every single word they speak and every single thing they do
Brings my mind to you
And how am I supposed to cope
When this love is a downwards slope and you
See right through me
So why do I have to be strong
This has gone on far too long
And I can’t take this
Anymore
I saw you drunk yesterday
Hurling insults
At my face
But I had to turn away
To hold back the tears
And smother the pain
My footsteps echo down this corridor
Along the walls
And across the floor
And I don’t want to love you anymore
But I’m buried neck deep on your rugged shores
And this is the worst thing
That could possibility come from my situation
How did I fall so hard
And every single word they speak and every single thing they do
Brings my mind to you
And how am I supposed to cope
When this love is a downwards slope and you
See right through me
So why do I have to be strong
This has gone on far too long
And I can’t take this
Anymore

Probably Not

Most of the time that I’m here
I’m just living alone
Ain’t got nothing to call my own no
Most of the time that I’m here
I’m just trying to stop myself
From wishing I was somewhere else and
And did you stop to think what would happen to you
And did you stop to think what would happen to you boy
No probably not
You were too busy with your own life weren’t you
You were too busy with your own life weren’t you woah
No probably not
And all the things that you do
Do you ever wondering if your
Pulling me down no
And all the things that you say
Do you ever check if any of its
Actually true boy
And did you stop to think what would happen to you
And do you ever wonder how you’re making me feel
No probably not
You were too busy with your own life weren’t you
You were too busy with your own life weren’t you no
No probably not
No probably not
No probably not
