I'm missing your laugh, how did it break? And when did your eyes begin to look fake? I hope you're as happy as you're pretending I'm cuddling close to blankets and sheets And I am alone in my defeat I wish I knew you were safely at home I'm missing your bed, I never sleep Avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak And this bottle of beast is taking me home

Avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak

But you're not alone, you're not discreet

"I hope you're as happy as you're pretending I'm cuddling close to blankets and sheets...[...]"

If you're listening (whoa oh-oh-oh-oh) Sing it back (whoa oh-oh-oh-oh) String from your tether unwinds (String from your tether unwinds) (Whoa oh, whoa oh) Up and outward to bind (Up and outward to bind) (Whoa oh, whoa oh) I was spinning free (whoa oh-oh-oh-oh) With a little sweet and simple numbing me

"I was spinning free...[...]"

Hey there I know it's hard to feel Like I don't care at all Where you are and how you feel With these lights off as these wheels

"I know it's hard to feel, like I don't care at all...[...]"

[Verse 2] Two days, I wait for calls to come through Tonight for me translates to yesterday to you Bend and you wave You're barely away I wish I could say tonight When you bend and wave goodbye You'd take me with you

"Tonight for me translates to you...[...]"

So keep the blood in your head And keep your feet on the ground Today's the day we get tired Today's the day we dropped out Gave up my body and bed All for an empty hotel Wasting words on lowercases and capitals So keep the blood in your head And keep your feet on the ground

"So keep the blood in your head and keep your feet on the ground...[...]"

But God, does it feel so good 'Cause I got him where I want him now And if you could, then you know you would 'Cause God it just feels so It just feels so good Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change Once a whore, you're nothing more I'm sorry, that'll never change And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged I'm sorry, honey, but I passed it up, now look this way

And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged

"Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change...[...]"

I walk a lonely road The only one that I have ever known Don't know where it goes But it's home to me, and I walk alone I walk this empty street On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams Where the city sleeps And I'm the only one, and I walk alone I walk alone, I walk alone I walk alone, I walk a- My shadow's the only one that walks beside me My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating Sometimes, I wish someone out there will find me 'Til then, I walk alone

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me

I'm walking down the line, that divides me somewhere in my mind

"I walk this empty street on the Boulevard of Broken Dreams...[...]"

We're going down, down in an earlier round And sugar, we're going down swinging I'll be your number one with a bullet A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it We're going down, down in an earlier round And sugar, we're going down swinging I'll be your number one with a bullet A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it Is this more than you bargained for yet? Oh, don't mind me, I'm watching You two from the closet Wishing to be the friction in your jeans Isn't it messed up how I'm just dying to be him? I'm just a notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song (Notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song)

A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it

I'm just a notch in your bedpost but you're just a line in a song

"Oh, don't mind me, I'm watching You two from the closet...[...]"

I remember when the days were long And the nights when the living room was on the lawn Constant quarreling, the childish fits And our clothes in a pile on the ottoman All the slander and doublespeak Were only foolish attempts to show you did not mean Anything but the blatant proof Was your lips touching mine in the photobooth And as the summer's ending The cool air will push your hard heart away You were so condescending And this is all that's left Scraping paper to document I've packed a change of clothes, and it's time to move on Cup your mouth to compress the sound Skinny-dipping with the kids from a nearby town And everything that I said was true As the flashes blinded us in the photobooth

Skinny-dipping with the kids from a nearby town

The cool air will push your hard heart away

And it was pretty clear that it was hardly love

"All the slander and doublespeak Were only foolish attempts to show you did not mean...[...]"

Broken this fragile thing now And I can't, I can't pick up the pieces And I've thrown my words all around But I can't, I can't give you a reason I feel so broken up (so broken up) And I give up (I give up) I just wanna tell you so you know Here I go Scream my lungs out and try to get to you You are my only one I let go But there's just no one that gets me like you do You are my only, my only one I made my mistakes, let you down And I can't, I can't hold on for too long Ran my whole life in the ground And I can't, I can't get up when you're gone And something's breakin' up (breakin' up) I feel like givin' up (like givin' up) I won't walk out until you know Here I go Scream my lungs out and try to get to you You are my only one I let go But there's just no one that gets me like you do You are my only, my only one

And I can't, I can't hold on for too long

But there's just no one that gets me like you do

"I made my mistakes, let you down...[...]"
