I can’t say At what age I will have seen As much as you before 19 You spend 2 years To reverse the last few At the cost of the light behind your eyes It didn’t matter how crazy you could get I’d always recognize you From your gaze But now there’s something in the way Your blank eyes Betray the curves on your face You’re a pair of doll eyes and forced smile You’re a shade of everything you used to be I can’t say At what year it will be When you finally come around You lost yourself in the pain of everyone else And all their selfish doubt Do you remember the nights Were you would fall asleep Head in my lap When was the last time I saw that youthful innocence Grace the curves of your mouth? You’re a pair of doll eyes and forced smile You’re a shade of everything you used to be So when the world chews you up And spits you out And you stumble and fall And end up face down You should know (it was all on you) So when the world chews you up And spits you out And you stumble and fall And end up face down You should know You’re a pair of doll eyes and forced smile You’re a shade of everything you used to be So when the world chews you up And spits you out And you stumble and fall And end up face down You should know

What would you think of me If I said I hadn’t seen sleep since your hardwood floor I just can’t cut my losses anymore The tapping of the rain Mirrored the pounding of my guilt And the sound that it made Was exactly how I felt I felt old, I felt like a funeral I left you alone I though it might be best to break my bond with home So it was on that call in the middle of the night That “I love you” was your last lie I was honest for once I guess I’ll stay your empty trophy case Keep silent While saying “grow up” to yourself Fighting off sleep and losing Hoping you were ok From half the world away I can’t stay your empty trophy case I left you alone I though it might be best to break my bond with home So it was on that call in the middle of the night That “I love you” was your last lie I was honest for once

I’m off on the tip of your tongue The one that you’ve been biting from the start And I could say I tried my best to reach you But I couldn’t play the part We said we’d keep in touch Argued over who’d miss who the most I could say I tried my best to reach you But it wasn’t even close I don’t want to know why Everything stays the same like your last name and the lingering of this season’s rain I’m springing out of town I’m sure you didn’t think I would leave Maybe you might have noticed me If I had been able to breath If these 3 years next to you Have taught me anything It’s that motives are never clear And anyone can be deceived. Whether you bundle it up or sweat it off Project your voice or whisper soft Your method acting in the center of attention Has you hidden in plain sight with your worst intentions I don’t want to know why Everything stays the same like your last name and the lingering of this season’s rain I’m springing out of town I’m sure you didn’t think I would leave Maybe you might have noticed me If I had been able to breath
