Pretend

I don’t want to, I can’t stop
Overthink it, let it drop
Ignore it and just let it fade
Hide inside my mind all day
I can’t help it, I’m in too deep
I lost my place when I moved my feet
A wick burnt out, a light gone dim
I think I snapped from being stretched too thin
I don’t have to fix it, I can let this go
Trust my intuition, I can still say no
You can still set limits, you’ll rise and start again
Perfection is a nightmare, so let’s not play pretend
Perfection is a nightmare, so let’s not play pretend
I don’t care if it’s tonight
But somehow I will get it right
I’ve spent too long in my own head
I woke up just to yearn for bed
I don’t have to fix it, I can let this go
Trust my intuition, I can still say no
You can still set limits, you’ll rise and start again
Perfection is a nightmare, so let’s not play pretend
Perfection is a nightmare, so let’s not play pretend
Thought it was easy, thought it was just me
I don’t know
I don’t have to fix it, I can let this go
Trust my intuition, I can still say no
You can still set limits, you’ll rise and start again
Perfection is a nightmare, so let's not play pretend

Last night I tried to call your house
Voice my thoughts, regrets, and my doubt
I had an excuse for everything
A reason for me disappearing
It came to me that I might have been wrong
Thought my opinion was the reigning one
Turns out our minds are fickle things
change your perspective, change everything
I always seem to be right in the center
Claiming my way has got to be better
Make me a saint for being a martyr
I’ve made mistakes and am none the wiser
I thought I could pull you away from your pain
Thought I could save you if I just choked the chain
But I’m not a savior or anything great
I could try harder but you’re not mine to save
I always seem to be right in the center
Claiming my way has got to be better
Make me a saint for being a martyr
I’ve made mistakes and am none the wiser
So call me a bitch for my mistake as a friend
I’m a narcissist for just giving a damn
Call me whatever but know that I care
I’m sorry, I’m learning, I’ll get there
So call me a bitch for my mistake as a friend
I’m a narcissist for just giving a damn
Call me whatever but know that I care
I’m sorry, I’m learning, I’ll get there
None the wiser
None the wiser
None the wiser
I’ll get there
I always seem to be right in the center
Claiming my way has got to be better
Make me a saint for being a martyr
I’ve made mistakes and am none the wiser
I always seem to be right in the center
Claiming my way has got to be better
Make me a saint for being a martyr
I’ve made mistakes and am none the wiser

Put Down Your Gun

A serpent in broad daylight
A predator by candlelight
I didn’t know what you were before
A demon with an angel face
A liar with a cloak of grace
Who would’ve known what you were before
Oh the monster inside of you
You told me stories of the past
Rolled in sugar and alabaster
Who would have known
What you were before
You hid the truth between your teeth
But truth comes out eventually
And now I know what you did before
Oh the monster inside of you
Oh the monster inside of you
Tell me how can you be two people at once
The side you show me is the side I love
But a trigger is all it takes to hurt someone
So Darling, put down your gun
I sifted through your memories
Through drunken words and jeopardy
Who would have known what you were before
A villain with a heart of ice
With hands as warm as paradise
Who would have known what you did before
Oh the Monster inside of you
Oh the Monster inside of you
Tell me how can you be two people at once
The side you show me is the side I love
But a trigger is all it takes to hurt someone
So darling, put down your gun
I know you didn’t mean it, your wounds are still there
Someone else was a monster before you got here
Now I see you don’t mean to act like you do
But you cant help yourself from splitting in two
No you cant help yourself from splitting in two
But you cant help yourself from splitting in two
Tell me how can you be two people at once
The side you show me is the side I love
But a trigger is all it takes to hurt someone
So darling, put down your gun

They say time heals all things
But it seems the clock stopped moving
I hid from the truth for too long
Fighting for something long gone
It’s all just so bittersweet
In losing love to be complete
They say it’s just part of life
To break your heart to free your mind
So baby let me feel it all
I want to rise so I can fall
And build myself back up again
You have to lose before you win
Take my heart, rip it in two
This change has been long overdue
I’m tired of just playing it safe
Here’s my heart for you to break
I tried to stand so tall
Scared to rock the boat and lose it all
Force it all to stay the same
But I lost control when you began to change
(Honestly) But honestly
(Never see) I could never see
(I am more) That I am more
(Was before) Than I was before
(Take my soul) So take my soul
(All control) Take all control
(Let me be) And let me be
Free
So baby let me feel it all
I want to rise so I can fall
And build myself back up again
You have to lose before you win
Take my heart, rip it in two
This change has been long overdue
I’m tired of just playing it safe
Here’s my heart for you to break
I’ll never know what I did
To deserve this
But I’m stronger for it
I may have cried in the past
But I know it won’t last
Cuz I am stronger for this
So baby let me feel it all
I want to rise so I can fall
And build myself back up again
You have to lose before you win
Take my heart, rip it in two
This change has been long overdue
I’m tired of just playing it safe
Here’s my heart for you to break

Never Be the Same

Tell me what it is you’re searching for
I see your heart knocking, then you run from the door
Worry’s just a sign that soon things will change
And fear just promises you’ll never be the same
Here we are once again
Circling bout the problem at hand
You want something to break up the silence
You want reasons to set off the sirens
You want something sturdy
You want something strong
You want to know that you finally belong
Search the external for something secure
Hands come up empty and still you’re unsure
You widdle your heart as if it was wood
Slowly chipping away the parts that were good
You call it normal as if its a part of the change
You call it natural as if you’re turning a page
But tell me what it is you’re searching for
I see your heart knocking, but then you run from the door
Worry is just a sign that soon things will change
And fear just promises you’ll never be the same
But something inside is breaking much deeper
The foundation you’ve build it getting much weaker
The floor you stand on can only take so much weight
This wall you’ve been building is starting to break
