VERSE 1
I came here to be alone, and I'm staring at my phone
I turn away after everything you say, you've made it clear that you don't wanna hear me
And I wish I'd stayed at home
PRECHORUS 1
A-B-C, do I need to spell it out for you?
1-2-3, times is more than an accident, I want you to
CHORUS
Tell me why you thought that you could touch me
Lights low but I see you clearly
Reaching out like some kind of creep
I told you not to fucking touch me
VERSE 2
I could make a scene and make myself the bad guy
And you can tell your friends about the crazy bitch you met last night
When you were being nice, yeah right
PRECHORUS 2
A-B-C, do I need to spell it out for you
Hands off me, I'm prepared to make you regret why you came here
[CHORUS]
BRIDGE
Even if I wanted to
Which I'd never want to
It's so easy to see through
Everything you're trying to do
[CHORUS]

VERSE 1
Too old to be running around without what it takes
to be someone willing to ask me “is this a mistake?”
You’re at an end
You’ve given all that you can spend
Waiting only works for so long,
What is there to defend
PRECHORUS
From an old friend?
Who doesn’t want to see happen again
CHORUS
Starts with an ember, one step remember
Keep it together, coz it’s all on you
Stop sinking under, you’re not a number
Making me wonder why it’s all on you
VERSE 2
Tangled in a world that won’t hear you
You’ve got more than this
Told me there’s some things that you won’t do
What is there to miss?
Look where you are
From where I’m standing it’s not far
To get where I think you should be, you deserve it all
PRECHORUS
Everything I can give you
Is only worth what you want it to
[CHORUS]
BRIDGE
PRECHORUS
Never too late to wake up
From what you said wouldn’t happen again

VERSE 1
Is it too soon to say we’re walking different ways?
But we can still make time
I get the feeling that you’re dreaming further
I’m hoping that I’m still on your mind
CHORUS
Don’t go fall in love
Don’t go mess it up
Don’t go fall in love without me
Stay now if you can
Stay now hold my hand
Don’t go fall in love without me
VERSE 2
I know without a doubt, I’m drawing this one out
We’re into overtime
We won’t say it, but we know it ends here
Please know you’ll always be on my mind
[CHORUS]

VERSE 1
I’ve been out every night this week
I’m not sure I know how to speak
Without a glass of wine in hand
My bank account is getting nervous
It can’t take another purchase
Tells me “Bitch, you need to stay at home”
PRECHORUS
(We know) that this is bad for us
(We know) we’ll never give it up
(We know) nothing is good enough
(We know) we’re all just acting tough
Until we think of something better
CHORUS
How could anyone say no?
I think it’s obvious, obvious though
How could anyone say no?
I think it’s obvious, obvious though
VERSE 2
Emptiness can make you restless
Lately i’ve been overzealous
This pace is so unsustainable
[PRECHORUS]
[CHORUS]
BRIDGE
Can people stop making plans with me
‘cause I don’t know how to set boundaries
[CHORUS]

VERSE 1
I wish I knew what to do to make it up to you (I’m on thin ice)
I wish I knew what to say to make it go away (I’m on thin ice)
I wish I knew what to do to make it up to you (I’m on thin ice)
I wish I knew how to be right where you needed me (I’m on thin ice)
PRE-CHORUS
I couldn’t make it there, too caught up in life
I know it feels unfair
CHORUS
What should I look for?
Wish you’d told me this before running out the door
I’ll be waiting for you to come home
It’s another night
You’re so late, are you alright? You left on your light
I’ll be waiting for you to come home
VERSE 2
I wish I could be the one who never has to run (I’m doing fine)
I hope you can understand, I’m doing the best I can (I’m doing fine)
I wish I could be the one who never has to run (I’m doing fine)
I hope I can see you soon, just let me get back to you (I’m doing fine)
PRE-CHORUS
I never made it there, too caught up in life
I know it feels unfair
[CHORUS]
BRIDGE
Wish I could stay longer than just one day
Wish I could stay longer than just one day
Wish I could stay longer than just one day

Lighters

VERSE 1
I’ve been angry before, now I’m all burnt out
Matches just don’t last, lighters don’t come back.
I won’t look at my phone, some things are better alone
Know how many’s left, no-one’s that impressed.
CHORUS
There’s always a reason why
You can’t be around tonight
There’s always a new reply
Talkin’ bout the ways you tried
VERSE 2
I’ve quit more than once, every other month
Would you believe me? Folding when you pressure me.
Menthols aren’t so cheap, maybe it is that deep
Caught between my head, and texts I left unread.
[CHORUS]
VERSE 3
I’ve been angry too long, always tryna be strong
Thresholds just don’t keep,
Breaking while asleep.

Quit

VERSE 1
Tiptoe through the kitchen, so I can get my keys, you won’t notice me
Didn’t say goodbye then. Sorry I’m a creep, but you’re cute when you’re asleep.
Always late to work, early mornings hurt
God I’m such a mess
But I don’t really care, can you come dye my hair?
PRE-CHORUS
I wanna know how far you would go, you would go
I wanna know how far you would go, you would go
CHORUS
Hate your 7am alarm
Would you quit, would you quit, would you quit, would you quit for me?
Hate the way I smoke too much
Would you quit, would you quit, would you quit, would you quit for me?
We stay up too late.
Think I like you too much,
This is it, this is it, this is it, this is it for me.
VERSE 2
Won’t get out of bed, drag my thread by thread
Into a sea of coffee cups
I don’t really care, but it all adds up.
[PRE-CHORUS]

Vertigo

VERSE 1
I’ve been caught off guard, never thought about this part.
Try not to panic, but that’s all I’m good at, I’m
Content with fantasy, but when you look at me
Even just briefly, it overwhelms me, I
PRE-CHORUS
I’m on the edge, hearing echos, this feels like vertigo.
I’m on the edge, hearing echos, this feels like vertigo.
CHORUS
Racing thoughts keep me awake at night, I can’t help wonder why
You say you’ve got me on your mind all the time.
Racing heartbeat scares me, overjoyed and terrified of
All the ways I could be on your mind all the time.
(On your mind all the time)
(On your mind all the time)
VERSE 2
You’re here, it’s all I want, too much of not enough
I’m barely breathing, too caught up thinking, I
Wait for the words to hit my heart, can’t find the phrase, it falls apart.
Are you good at catching? Cause I’m so good at falling.
[PRE-CHORUS]

Nine Of Swords
03:53

|
VERSE 1
No sleep, no time, wonder when I stopped feeling fine.
My head hurts, I can’t move. Where should I start? Tell me what to do.
Who needs healthy coping means when you’ve got cards and stars and things?
All my shit’s in retrograde, I wonder if you feel the same?
PRE-CHORUS
Maybe if I draw the right card, I’ll have the chance to get better.
Maybe if I draw the right card, I’ll have the chance to get better.
All I want is to get better,
All I want is to get better,
All I want is to get better,
All I wanted…
CHORUS
I’m waking up, I’m stressing out
I don’t know why I always draw the Nine of Swords
I wear a smile, I play the fool,
But it feels like I’ll always draw the Nine of Swords
VERSE 2
Is this that bad? Oh good, it’s worse than I thought!
Reverse after reverse card, why did I have to make things so hard?
So hard.
[PRE-CHORUS]
[CHORUS]
OUTRO
Don’t know why it has to be always so hard.

VERSE 1
I’ve waited for so long to see more of you
And I’m not surprised that you’ve got better things to do
Maybe you stopped caring when I wasn’t just a call away?
It says a lot you’ve let it end this way.
CHORUS
Is it my anxiety that makes me think you’re sick of me?
Did I do something, or did we dissolve?
Is it my anxiety that makes me think you’re sick of me?
Did I do something, or did we dissolve?
Dissolve.
VERSE 2
I won’t wait around for you as much these days
It’s just, when I see you, you’ve got less and less to say
Feels like we’re repeating: “How are you?” “I’m good” “I’ll see you soon”
I don’t wanna stay stuck in this loop with you.
[CHORUS]

Robert Smith

VERSE 1
I want to tell lies to your Mum and Dad,
I want them to think I’m fun
I want all your friends to talk about me
When I’m not there to tell the truth
I want to be goth and I want to be pop
And I want you to notice it
I wanna wear black with sequins up the back
I wanna be like Robert Smith
CHORUS
I need to know what you think of me
Can I convince you I’m interesting?
I need to know what you’re thinking
VERSE 2
I want your ex to be scared of me
Want me, watch me, turn you down
Wanna wear a loose fit, bright red lipstick, confuse your sexuality
Tell Morrissey he’s become everything he told us not to be
I wanna be like Robert Smith
[CHORUS]
BRIDGE
I need to know what you’re thinking
I need to know, now
All I want to be, is what you wanna see, live on TV
I wanna wear some new expensive shoes, I wanna overdress for you
I wanna be that bitch
God I wanna be
Just like Robert Smith
When you look at me
Make you clench your teeth
[CHORUS]

Two Hearts
03:39
|

|
VERSE 1
Two hearts, so far apart, sitting in the same car
Avoiding awkward conversation.
Two close to what could have been, we’re breathing each other in,
I can taste this mistake we’re making.
PRE-CHORUS
And all my friends think I’m crazy,
But I’m just crazy about you,
You...
VERSE 2
Two hearts, one fantasy: someone who’s good for me,
You missed the mark but I can ignore it.
I gave you so much of me, you still wanted more from me,
You always left me running on empty.
PRE-CHORUS 2
And all my friends think I’m crazy,
But I’m just crazy about you.
And I don’t want to want this but I
CHORUS
I’m so tired of doing this alone,
I’ve been trying too hard to take you home, alone.
You’ve been taking up to much of my time,
I’m trying too hard to make you mine, all mine.
VERSE 3
Two hearts may meet again, could I even handle it?
Would it match up to what’s in my mind?
Relive that night again, but rearrange it:
Remove the point where we crossed that line.
[PRE-CHORUS 2]
[CHORUS]
