lyrics

I don't have many nice clothes
cuz I always seem to stain the ones I have
and it's easier to start with ones that don't look very clean
then to mess them up and feel bad when light blue turns to light green

and I don't mean to rush things forward
I would rather they slow down
but when you look at me that way, and you hold me like you used to
I still feel the burn of lips on skin and ache at how I used you


and I know I'm tough
to deal with sometimes
and you know I wish
I could try again
but I'm just sick
of consolations
and I'm tired of cutting ties


I would just lie awake
I can't just erase your mistakes
so I listen to sad melodies so it's not my thoughts I'm hearing
and it's just their pain I'm holding in and their pain that I'm feeling

but your songs still in my head
your melody through my ears
I found my love between the notes, I found my heart within the chords, i found my soul inside the rhythm of the words you sang to me


and I know I'm tough
to deal with sometimes
and you know I wish
I could try again
but I'm just sick
of consolations
and I'm tired of cutting ties


so I'll keep walking to that rhythm
so I can't stop to rest my head
I'll keep writing till they listen
won't stop singing till I'm dead (repeated)


and I wish it wasn't so easy
To change myself for you
but I'm glad we got to be, a bit softer for a change
because I have never felt anything quite like I felt you

but it's better to feel cautiously
instead of rushing forward fast and free
cuz the part of me that trusts in what will happen what will be
has been beaten and been pushed out by the angry part of me

and I know I'm tough
to deal with sometimes
and you know I wish
I could try again
but I'm just sick
of consolations
and I'm tired of saying goodbye
