It all seems so fast You take a minute and all you have is in the past Those memories so sweet Wished you'd held longer but now you know that their lost You'd think I'd miss you now you're gone But I'm so numb I can't be sad I've pushed the hurt away for so long I've kept the thoughts, turned them black Cause if I knew how to cope Maybe tonight wouldn't leave me so alone If I knew how to sleep Maybe the nightmares would show me what I've known Even if I can feel we're gone It doesn't change the emptiness inside I'm lost I remember the laughs we had and The nights we spent forever talking here But if you've forgotten that's just Fine by me it doesn’t cut that deep You'd think I'd miss you now you're gone But I'm so numb I can't be sad I've pushed the hurt away for so long It's kept away thoughts, turned them black Cause if I knew how to cope Maybe tonight wouldn't leave me so alone And If I knew how to sleep Maybe the nightmares would show me what I've known Even if I can feel we're gone It doesn't change the emptiness inside I'm lost You'd think I'd miss you now you're gone But I'm so numb I can't be sad I've pushed the love away for so long I can feel my heart crack I've locked it up, turned it black Cause if I knew how to cope Maybe tonight wouldn't leave me so alone And If I knew how to sleep Maybe the nightmares would show me what I've known Even if I could feel we're gone It doesn't change the emptiness inside I'm lost

I know your heart's been broken Been pickin' up pieces day by day And it's these little shards that cut me That have me so afraid And when you said I love you It's not crazy for me to assume That you meant forever Not we would end this soon Well you were the reason for this flutter in my chest You are the reason why I sleep less and less Well all I have to say is Twist that knife in baby Twist that knife Twist that knife in baby Twist that knife And watch me bleed Don't look away Because it's all I have left for you to take I said I love you You couldn't pretend to give a shit I could see it all over See that weight fall off your shoulders Now all I can see is my blood All of these memories But god knows why it makes me happy 'Cause it was You who did this to me Well you were the reason for this beating in my chest You are the reason why I sleep less and less Well all I have to say is Twist that knife in baby Twist that knife Twist that knife in baby Twist that knife And watch me bleed Don't look away Because it's all I have left for you to take Twist that knife in baby Twist that knife Just twist that knife in baby Twist that knife Twist that knife in baby Twist that knife Twist that knife in baby (Twist that knife) And watch me bleed Don't look away 'Cause it's all I have left for you to take Twist that knife in baby Twist that knife Twist that knife in baby (Twist that knife) I know your hearts been broken Now so has mine I can feel all of the cracks And all of the time You said that I was your last dead end Well I'm lost in thoughts They say I'll be over all this soon I'm betting I'm not

Simple 04:54
You were always loving You were my light You were always caring But you weren’t always right I know that I am no saint And I wish you'd have loved the same 'Cause there in the moment I heard all of your lines But out of these feelings I've scarred from all of the lies Now that I am looking back I can see your true colors And even if I think of you each day I know that I can't love her 'Cause I don't miss it all Here I am I felt alone I felt alive I felt used I felt as if you didn't see the love I shared 'Cause my love was simple It pours one direction I know that you were insecure Though rough, unrefined I did not think I could take anymore 'Cause there in the moment I heard all of the lines But out of these feelings I've scarred from all the lies Now that I am looking back I can see your true colors And even if I think of you each day I know that I can't love her 'Cause I don't miss it all Here I am I can't stop hearing your voice Your words are knives It's not like I have a choice And even with your tears Your actions stain the love we held so dear I tried But I know you did too But if you really wanted me to rethink You have to learn the world is not just for you 'Cause my love was simple It pours one direction I know that you were insecure Though rough, unrefined I did not think I could take anymore

Nerd! 04:31
They say my life lacks context there's no way to work this out But if you had a better voice maybe you'd be found Even if you were taller, stronger shit your out of luck 'Cause boy you ain’t cool Good luck gettin’ fucked Now I am taking the time to cross my T's and dot  I should have known that anime shows will never mean more than  Girls or the game Let's face the fact kid that no one will know your name Well on this path I'll persevere towards fame 'Cause I've been told that “you are no one” “You are the lesser I am the better” I've been told that “you are nobody” “You wish you could be me, A manlier version of YOU” Really what does that mean? To be a man, to be a part of this scene I guess that excludes the feelings and tunes I sing 'Cause damn you if you like Debussy Damn you if you like to sing Damn you if you like to treat a girl right  'Cause I've been told that “you are no one” “You are the lesser I am the better” I've been told that “you are nobody” “You wish you could be me A manlier version of YOU” Let's get the story straight If I do not fit in your box I'm a loser, I'm a queer, I'm a prick, or I'm weird If only you could see yourself An empty vessel projecting some shit self-image But here's the bitter pill to swallow about you No one gives a fuck  'Cause after to you my story continues and I grow up, I get fucked And I lose myself just like anyone else But that's just the tragedy of life It all takes some time Now I've grown older I am someone I should have known better Never the lesser I've grown older I am somebody Only one who can be be me A nerdier version of YOU!
