since i been away
you ain't read what i'm writing.
you ain't seen me trying.
and damn, i'm i been trying.
since i been away, i'mma be a hot shot.
if you don't know what you got, you don't got it.
you don't want it.
you don't wanna know.
since i been away, don't you want someone to hold you close?
no. no. no. no. no. no. no.
where'd my mind go?
must've lost it.
since i been away, i'd like to think maybe you'd start being honest.
you don't want this.
can't make em stay.
can't keep no promise.
since i been away, i got my own problems.
i got myself heartless, just so i can solve them.
since i've been away, i'm still the same.
just me and my forced melodrama.

why you wanna make me hurt?
why you wanna break my heart?
i am certain, truly sure, i will die if it won't start.
why do you want me to write all about you in my songs?
i just wanna feel alright.
why you gotta do me wrong?
nobody listens. nobody knows who i been kissing, who's under my clothes.
if anybody at all.
must mean i chose to get involved.
so sweet (awww)
now make me feel.
don't you wanna sit around and talk about ourselves?
let's keep it real. i'm a big deal.
ain't you right there with me, with all that appeal?
move quick since you show it.
when you know, you know it.
won't waste another moment alone in this hell.
she used me. oh well.
more kiss and tell.
why you wanna say you want it when you know damn well.
i am not romantic.
that's intended to be tragic.
the story, you can have it.
pity-you traumatic.
my honesty was interesting, but boring once you'd had it.
the goodness and the baddest.
i thought you'd be my balance.
but you bounce quick and tip the scale.
so i guess i'm just made for myself.
oh well.
and yeah girl, we can talk if you think i'm hot.
i'd say "no harm, no foul", but i can never tell until she's taking of her top.
yeah. yeah. too late. can't think. drop. hang.
why not just believe in everything you say?
why not?
hold that thought... just keep taking off your top.
i just want to talk until i'm all you want.
i am until i'm not. maybe.. we... should.... stop.....
but it's worth a shot. what else have i got?
nothing really, but girls that try to talk to me.
but don't try very hard. no, they don't try at all.
in actuality. they don't try at all.

nowhere

i'm an empty road that leads to nowhere.
i can't take you home. never been there.
could drive all day. could drive all night.
same horizon in your sight.
i'm an empty road.
ain't no place to go.
i done sold my soul.
with me, so alone.
and i'm sorry...
i can't take you home.
i'm an empty road that leads to nowhere.
don't even know how long to get there.
ain't no right, no wrong. no.
you can drive any way you like, without a care.
i'm an empty road that leads to nowhere.

prioritize

wonder how long you can hide from that feeling.
sick on holding it inside. never healing.
seems like you don't want it to end.
yeah baby, that's dedication.
well, i won't be asking you why. wasting more time.
it's obvious. it's important.
kept.
must be so nice to be permanent.
less than first in line.
i see clear and straight.
prioritize.
taste of the cake. eaten like lies.
plastic and fake. say what you like.
the same mistake. another try.
trusted, like it's the first time.
oh, you're just embarassed and shy.
yeah right.
out of love. out of spite.
do what you do for the ride.
be who you want. yeah, it's your life.
i'm not involved. no part of mine.
just want a piece. just want a slice.
i'm wholly me. i do not divide.
i also don't wait in line.
it's fine.
you picked your side. an option.
prioritize. i'm reminded often.

still failing
03:17

alone at last.
just like you wanted.
to meet my replacement.
how do people move on so fast?
the trick's to never care.
i got that.
prevent the wear and tear.
send it back.
did you get your deposit?
should be coming in the mail.
i don't get why this always seems to fail.
maybe it's just me.
or they're all hyper-sensitive to shameless honesty.
i must be a monster.
i must kill the buzz.
sure does make me wonder who they thought i was.
love.
unconditional love.
please don't break my trust.
no need to get done up.
i need the you that they can't touch.
give me your dirty and disgust.
all, or not enough.
i've never been enough.
