Bitch 02:50
i liked you more on a computer screen you fooled me from the beginning i thought things were gonna turn around for me if I don’t want you, then why are you still on my mind? i wish I could just close my eyes let you go, and move on with my life and though I think you’re hot, you’re so deceiving i thought you wanted more, i thought you wanted me i guess that was a dream, i guess that’s something I will never see this was way too good to be true it hurts like hell but I still think of you why was I so dumb to let you rip my heart in two? it’s just a game bitches like you play let’s see how bad I can mess with his mind today you say, do you feel so great now? as my self-esteem plummets to the ground and I’m so tired of thinking about you every part of me can’t stand you i would’ve never got involved if I knew what you’d turn into fuck you it’s bitches like you that drive me insane

Faults 02:16
on the fourth of july, i was getting kinda carried away we were sitting on my front porch talking about everything your arm was locked in with mine you were hanging on for dear life the night was upon us and everything felt just right i was head over heels when you asked me to walk you home i kissed your lips, and that was my fault we didn't talk for days i couldn't find the right words to say i couldn't think straight, I couldn't do anything it was at the wrong time, at the wrong place these things I've done cannot be erased and all that I felt was true, was not felt by you i keep reliving the same moment, when I leaned in and you pulled away that long walk home was a nightmare

By Her Side 04:47
she's had it hard for awhile it's been months since I've seen her smile when he comes around, she starts falling down doesn't answer the phone, she rather hear the dial tone she’s grown a backbone from being alone and if she needs someone tonight i'll be by her side i'll wipe the tears from her eyes and even if she says she'll be alright i'll be by her side she has a knack for having sudden anxiety attacks that she can't hold back when he comes back she can't breathe, she's lost her voice from screaming her screams she's feeling defeat, she cannot compete anymore and when she starts crying by the door i won't leave her side i'll wipe the tears from her eyes and even when she says she'll be alright i won't leave her side no, i won't leave her side

setting yourself up again another night you want to end, but it won’t end smoking a dozen again wondering where your life went and how you’re not dead come on, and stand up my friend things happen time and time again knocked down once, now twice get up, get up you’re alright you still got the rest of your life the rest of your life

Emily 03:28
you liked me from the very start, but I couldn’t see what was already right in front of me it’s such a shame it took me this long to figure out you were crazy for me and just wanted to stick around but I keep making these same kinds of mistakes the ones that I can control they keep flying right by over my head i just gotta let you know that I’m sorry I couldn’t see things before i thought you were just a friend but as time goes on, I see things more clearly i hope that it’s not the end i hope you can understand emily when we first met a long time ago i was into other girls i was young and dumb, and i still am you weren’t my concern so now i’m stuck here along once again as fake emotions play with my mind but if i could i would take everything back, but i can’t make up the time don’t give up hope, that’s what you said But i’m already out cause you’ve been fooling around with this other guy while my hearts being fed to the hounds i can’t say i blame you for walking away i would’ve too but before you leave there’s just one more thing that I have to tell you i’m sorry if you felt i let you down i’m sorry if i caused you pain i know for sometime now my heart will be screaming you name emily

you got knifed in the back well, it hit my heart it kills me to know it was dead from the start are you short on air? is it hard to breath? to find all this time oh those words, how they deceived and i know you smile try to make everything alright you can't fake a smile i see the hurt inside your eyes and that brings me down you walk through the door my heart drops to the floor it kills me to know you've become such a bore you say this will all be okay but I know, for certain, things will never be the same
7.
it’s hard to sleep with all these thoughts in my head you’re just a memory I can’t seem to forget i can’t wait for this to end, I’m sick of the lies i’ve got this fire inside of me that’s beginning to rise the heart takes over when it knows it’s right shielded in armor, steady and ready to fight i’m a lost soul; i’m knocking at your door dead on my feet and i can’t take much more i’m just tired of love; and whatever it means i’m just tired of hate; and everything in between i’m just tired of pain; it’s so unnecessary honey, what was your name? i hope to say it someday wonder what it would be like with you now you’re just a memory i can’t seem to push down things change, things stay the same, it’s really no surprise i’ve got this fire inside of me that’s beginning to rise

Breakdown 02:59
wanna break down these walls, they’re too high to climb fractured my wrists, there just is no give am i burning daylight? am i killing time? lost all my drive, i didn’t want to drive threw up my arms and gave up the fight idle hands are the devil’s device now i can’t seem to find the backbone to stand tall i’ve been knocked down too many times to care at all these battles i fight against myself end in defeat all along, i was my own worst enemy and it’s so fucking hard to accept who you are when my shattered heart gets cracked each start pick up the pieces and put what’s left on the shelf i’m feeling empty inside and now I know why i am still my own worst enemy

Irene 03:59
evacuate all of the beaches there’s a hurricane heading straight for us board up the house, stay inside a hard rain’s coming down in the blink of an eye when the wind picks up, we’ll all fall down and when the east coast panics, we’ll cry one sound and when the sky starts turning gray i’ll say bring on the hurricane hit me with novocaine cause i don’t wanna feel a goddamn thing you’re like a hurricane you’re driving me insane it’s gonna be one long night the powers out the water’s rising wanna drown myself, i’m overwhelmed i can’t leave my house, don’t wanna step outside i think i’m gonna lose my mind
