Concrete

I've got feet like concrete
And a head like lead
God I feel so heavy
I give up and head home
I just want to be left alone
Woah
I treated you with honesty, honestly
You promised me promised me
Woah
You said that you were sorry you're far away
You'd always come back for me
You're break breaking your word
I don't care what you heard
Cause you fucked up, yeah you fucked up
Yeah, I thought we'd live off love
But it was not enough, not enough
And I just need a day
To shed this dead weight
And to get my head straight
I just want to let go
I just want to be left alone
It was not enough.
It was never enough.

Over It
03:38
|
|||
I've been dealing with pain
With nothing to my name
It's been eleven hundred days
Since we've gone our separate ways
Am I the one to blame?
And do you feel the same?
Does it have to be this way?
I've gotta get over it
And over you
I'm starting to feel
Starting to heal
And you should too
We were kids made mistakes
Couldn't stay in one place
So we ran away
I've gotta get over it
And over you
Forget everything I said
And I will do my best
To get your voice out of my head
You're just a shoebox under my bed
The string that's binding my heart
Is slowly raveling apart
You took me for granted
I caught you red handed
I know I dragged us both through Hell
But I wish you'd forgive yourself
I think I learned a lesson too
That I'm at my worst when I'm with you

No More Bad Days
03:36
|

I thought we hit rock bottom
And then the floor gave out
The year you lost your health
The year we lost our house
I think the world has a way
Of choosing the worst day
To knock us down
And drag us out
But every door that's closed
Opens a new window
No more bad days
It's clear from here
No more bad days
For you my dear
Because my legs are strong
My arms are stretched so long
I will always reach for you
Cause you are sweet and pure
Yeah you are beautiful
In everything you do
You may have given up
But I will lift you up
I will always carry you
Cause you are sweet and pure
Yeah you are beautiful
In everything you do
I thought we hit rock bottom
And then the floor gave out
Yeah it was hard back then
It's even harder now
Cause when you're young and poor
You hope for so much more
I hope for rain to wash us clean
And make a brand new start
For both our tired hearts
Resilience is my promise
I'll never give up on us
Just lift your head up higher
I'll be here when you're tired
And need some peace
Just get some sleep

History
03:52
|

You should not get
What you have not earned
What I do from here
Is none of your concern
It didn't work yeah I know it hurts
But it's gotta give before it gets much worse
Gotta give up on you
We've got a lot of history
But there's too much space between you and me
You have plans, yeah I have dreams
But do I have the guts in me?
To leave, pack my shit and leave.
The irony gets the best of me
I'm sad that we split but you're still happy
What I gave to you was more than memories
What you took from me wasn't worth anything
Gotta give up on you
You never cared enough
You never earned my trust
You just took what you could get
You never lift me up
I never feel your love
I know exactly what this is
I'm tired of the weight when you lean on me
If I fell you would never stay to carry me

We lay on our backs out on the front yard
Holding your right hand, I say life’s been so hard
The shade of the tree we planted
It grew strong with roots and branches
But it’s just not ours anymore
We build these walls high, they blend into the sky
Thick skin and bones defend us from outside
The way we lost it all, I think it made you strong
But I don’t feel that anymore
I feel nothing at all, yeah I trip and I fall
Running straight into walls while you’re suffering withdrawals
When will I ever get a better hand?
I am losing my hope and it hurts in my throat
Have my back to the coast at the end of my rope
Oh, will I ever be a better man?
Am I meant to be alone?
We lay on our backs on the hood of my car
Holding my right hand, you point out the North Star
Show me the way ahead, guide me with light I said
Cause I can’t see straight anymore
Everyone left me all at once then
Honestly, I couldn’t even blame them
I’ve been a shitty friend
I don’t know where you went
I just can’t handle any more
I feel nothing at all, yeah I trip and I fall
Running straight into walls while you’re suffering withdrawals
When will I ever get a better hand?
I am losing my hope and it hurts in my throat
Have my back to the coast at the end of my rope
Oh, will I ever be a better man?
Am I meant to be alone?

Bound to Break
03:52
|
|||
You get me so worked up my ears are red hot
Pressure me to be something that I'm not
Well forget it you can't have it I'll never fit your mold
This shit is getting old
I try to be the one that you can count on
I fought it tooth and nail but you were just gone
So forget it you can't have it I'll never be the one
I am the setting sun
I"m reckless and selfish
I'm feeling defenseless
Even at my best
I'm still feeling like a mess
I'm not proud of who I've been
I know I've gotta grow
I live with a temper
That never gets better
It's ripping me to shreds
It's still burning in my head
I'm not proud of who I've been
I know I've gotta grow
I know I overreact to every comment
It takes me deeper than ever into resentment
So forget it you can't have it I'll never fit your mold
This shit is getting old
I know I question myself at every moment
Every flaw on the surface you make me show it
So forget it you can't have it I'll never be the one
I am the rising sun
I'm bound to break if I stay the same
With all my weight I will force a change
Cause in my skin is the sunlight
And in my heart there is still a fight

Better With You
04:48
|
|||
I swear I see the seasons change
More often than I see your face
November came and went
The Summer left without a trace
And I'm left with distance on my mind
Was it me that caused you to just pack up and leave?
When you did you took everything
I just hate seeing you without me
I'm better with you, you're better with me
I still miss all our nights
Even fights were all better with you
You're better with me
There is nobody else who can love me the way that you do
Better than you
I still miss all our days and the way you would carry me through
I'll carry you too
There is nobody else who could love you the way that I do
Who can love you the way that I do?
You filled my place with his embrace
His touch was cold, you never came
You filled a hole that's in my soul
I wish you felt the same
But is it too late for things to change?
It was you, because leaving is just what you do
When you finally have something to lose
I just don't feel the same without you
If there's a way that we can learn to forgive
There's nothing that I wouldn't give
There's still a space that I have buried away
It's deep in my heart, it's always your place

Don't Say
03:52
|
|||
You left me here and I didn't care
I'd follow you almost anywhere
I didn't mind that you left
Just don't say it's over
Was life so bad on the West Coast?
Is desert air what you needed most?
You're on my mind even though
I know that it's over
I can't wait forever, for you to grow up
I swore I'd never, have to give you up at all
But won't you get away
And just give me space
I'm much too young to be in love
A year behind never catching up
I'm scared to death when we share blood
You're never sober
You fight and shove when you're angry
Were you stable before you met me?
You kick and scream when we're ending
There's no way it's over
Did you forget the way you felt in my bed?
The way it felt when I said that you're all I have
Did you forget to pack your heart when you left?
When we're apart I'm a mess, but you're all I have

405
03:38

I'm jealous of the life you're living
I never made the best decisions
I learn the hard way or not at all
I wouldn't answer when you called
I never know where I am heading
I feel like there's something missing
I made my choice and found my voice
I never know what's down this road
Sometimes when I drive
Southbound windows down the 405
The Summer air, we're singing loud
We can take this road almost anywhere
And sometimes, yeah I'm fine
I'm Northbound hoping that I'll be alright
I need you here right by my side
I'm learning how to really live my life
I'm moving slower now than ever
I try to hold it all together
My eyes are wide yet my mind is tired
I fall asleep in between your lines
I wonder was it worth this last year
If things get worse will you still be here?
I made my choice and found my voice
Will you still be here if I go?

Stay Up Late
03:56
|
|||
I was hoping that you'd stay
Cause tonight I wanna stay up late
I was hoping that you'd say
You were feeling lonely just like me
I'm still hoping that you're happy
Cause you know I can barely stand up straight
I'm still hoping that I can be
Everything that you would ask of me
But am I all wrong, long gone, too far from your heart?
Last year was hard, I fell apart.
I know you don't feel this way but
I'll try to convince you so
If it's lust, or if it's fate
I hope you pick up this late
I've been missing how we'd pretend
Cause tonight I really need a friend
We pretended we were happy
Maybe we can try and start again
I never thought that we'd end up like this
But this cycle we're in makes me sick
It's a long shot and I can tell
Another coin in the wishing well
Honestly if I'm being honest with myself
I know which way you fell
You don't love me I can tell
|

It's Alright
03:49
|
|||
I'm losing trust in you
These things I'd never ever do to you
I'll find a back door, I'll run for it
A back door, I'll run for it
I'm losing faith in you
It's alright, it's alright
I was second best, but you're still stuck in my head
It's alright, it's alright
Taking slower breaths but I'm still the same mess
All my days are colored grey
I'll find a way to make you say
It's alright, it's alright
I'll be second best, but you're still fucked in the head
You know I'd wait for you
And so you use it when you need to prove
That I can't find a back door, or run for it
A back door, or run for it
I've lost my faith in you
You don't know what you're missing
I can't get it through your thick fucking head
You heard what I said
I couldn't change your decision
I fought day in day out until my knuckles bled
You loved him instead
Don't know what else to do
Cause I've got nothing left to lose but you

Alone With Me
03:42
|
|||
There's a lump in my throat from the words I chose
I cut for the bone and I drove it home
Gotta cut you out from in my head
Don't leave me be
Cause I don't know if you can be alone with me
You don't or you won't just love yourself
And I can't even stand to ask for help
But I'm begging you to let me out
I'm begging you don't let me down
You can't or you won't just let this end
And I can't even tell just where you went
But I'm begging you to let me in
And let me love you cause I know you can't
Times they change but you stay the same
Sweep it under the rug for another day
If you're listening then meet me halfway
It's not about what's best, but what's best for you
I can't love myself living like we do
You're not alone
If you shut me out, I'm kicking that door down
You've gotta stop stop living so deep underground
Before you're gone
