will you write another sad sad song while sitting up at night when you can't sleep i know it's obnoxious and it's useless to fight a war you're losing between what could and shouldn't be this might be your only chance to find out where your paths will lead i know it's obnoxious and it's useless to fight a war you're losing if you're too careful you'll seem careless and if you call you'll sound so desperate but isn't that what you are isn't that what we all are

fault lines 03:49
is it you who calls the shots of what you want does it hurt when he sees you like his eyes are made of fire he's not allowed to be near you so why are you the one who hides i don't have to pretend that these are your friends how could you live on a fault line when you're scared to be touched if i'm so sure that i'm drowning why's my mouth feel like a sponge i know
3.
there are people who i trust there are people who trust me and i don't know why they're choosing to confide in someone who will talk about anything and there are people who i miss there are people who miss me and i don't know why they're investing all their time into someone with my history so now i'm numb and it's because of everything my eyes are tired my body's tired of waking up and still being me
4.
it's cold and lately i've been feeling tired of everyone i know and i'm positive that's it obvious that every time i'm out i want to go home and every time i'm home i feel so alone i can't expect to sit and wait around to die for the rest of my life because that isn't me i'm feeling like i am stuck in between
5.
where did you go, and what did you do, with all that time you were too scared to move? what is it like to be by yourself for three and half years. for roughly three and a half years. if we could just pretend that i went to college, and that's why you haven't seen me. i wanted to go, but not for this long. i overdid it. why did you say that i was one in a million? because i believed it. i thought i had something that you were too scared to lose. so if we could just pretend that i went to college, and traveled abroad, and did something different. anything but just sitting at home for three and a half years, writing song after song after song. so what is it like to be by yourself and feel like you'll die around everyone else. i thought i was one in a million. well thanks for nothing. thank you. thank you.
