Blue Eyes 05:08
I’m gonna squeeze out all of you out of me I’m gonna squeeze out what you really mean to me Oh, what’s the point of loving you at all? Such a pity, you could have been much more Than just another one who walked out the door Oh, what’s the point of loving you at all? Now it’s over we’ll be strangers again I’m gonna miss your face and your behavior Oh blue eyes, oh blue eyes why do you have to like guys? Oh blue eyes, oh blue eyes why do you have to like guys? This love is purer than the rain You make me swim in this twisted tiring pain But to sing is to cry in reverse, oh love My blood is bursting up in flames With the helplessness of what won’t change Anatomy is dividing us, my love If you feel me don’t you want me? What will I do to dissipate the days without you? Blue eyes, oh blue eyes why do you have to like guys? Oh blue eyes, oh blue eyes why do you have to like guys? A failure they propose, is what my desires will expose I’m doomed to be alone unless I settle in for what’s worse. Or better? What’s the difference, worse or better? What’s the difference, worse or better? Oh what’s the point of loving you Blue eyes, blue eyes, blue eyes, blue eyes, blue eyes, blue eyes You make me better and Worse (Oh blue eyes, oh blue eyes, why do you have to like guys?) Oh blue eyes, oh blue eyes What’s the point of loving you oh What’s the point of loving you oh What’s the point of loving you at all?

Stranger 02:54
A cloudy day, a rainy day I cry a little, then I climb under the pillow I slide beneath the blanket Maybe if I stay here I won’t feel The skinny drops, the weakest thoughts The scent of death, am I dying just a little? I’ve wasted all my chances Maybe if I stay here I’ll disappear We all start off as strangers but it’s sad to know that we won’t get to more It took a life to find your eyes I saw them twice, now I blindly chase a riddle You hide behind a blank page Maybe if I wait you will reappear I can’t give up, how would I now? I heard a sound, now I deafly chase a fiddle You hide beneath the silence Speaking to the air, can I make this clear? I fell in love with a stranger and it’s sad to know you left me all alone Hey beautiful, can I change your mind? I’ve got time, I’ve got time Hey beautiful, can I change your mind? I’ve got time, I’ve got time Hey, beautiful, oh I see outside but live inside of no today, cause I’m waiting for tomorrow clinging on the past day Where I’m stuck in the present within your space My hope is all on you, stranger, please react and show you’re just taking it slow Hey beautiful, can I change your mind? I’ve got time, I’ve got time Hey beautiful, can I change your mind? I’ve got time, I’ve got time Hey beautiful, stop wasting our lives Oh come into my life Oh oh, oh

Undefined 03:05
Well, I feel that you want out before the undefined has begun Can’t you see you’re wasting me? Energy sleeps in the soul but you have awakened it all Are you feeling differently? You can’t hurt me any more than what they’ve done before You’re hiding excuses under fake concern Drag, drag, drag, drag, drag along your confusion but move on And let it go Keep me in reserve while you try to let me go Guessing if you show what your words will let me know Face me when it hurts, it’s the least that I deserve Well, you want out because you’re curious but not enough Can’t I see you’re testing me? Anything’s bigger than chasing you, but I live on the run Will they hide consistently? True, it can always hurt some more, cause you’re adding to them all With the worst excuses that I’ve ever heard Lack, lack, lack, lack, lack of love but if there’s music I’ll move on While you let me go Keep me in reserve while you try to let me go Guessing if you show what your words will let me know Face me when it hurts, it’s the least that I deserve And let it go Keep me in reserve while you try to let me go Guessing if you show what your words will let me know Face me when it hurts, it’s the least that I deserve

I met someone who broke my heart and left me all undone With pieces of what I had overcome crushing my lungs You shouldn’t do that to people, why are you so cruel? You shouldn’t do that to people, why are you so cruel? Don’t be so cruel, why are you so cruel to me? When I wake up I think of you and my eyes burn up Is there anything you can do to forget someone? Who walked away with no reason, oh what did I do? How have I failed? Intuition, do you have a clue? I have no clue why people are cruel to me Everything ends, that’s what they say Everything ends, what can I say? Wait Hard to blame, an honest mistake Come back to me I’ll forget what you should regret Come back to me It’s desperately you I need Simple as I’ll ever be, pathetically I only recall what I miss The pain won’t fit I will escape once I’m older but for now I’m stuck In situations that tear me up right from the start The things I do amplify the youth in us Hard to waste what most people crave Come back to me Don’t pretend what we have is fake I disagree It’s desperately true to me I cannot demolish the black of your eyes An honest reflection of lies that complexes my mind Nothing is better than the vacuum of never With the promise that time will erase the unkind so Fate, I’ll wait Now I know you are what they said Nothing to me Now I know you cared as they said Nothing for me Now I know you are what they said Nothing to me Now I know you cared as they said Nothing for me I’m desperately blue, I’m desperately blue, I’m desperately blue, you’ll see.

Seesaw 04:27
When he was gone you felt the need for change cause You couldn’t take the loneliness and pain of Ending a relationship of years that concealed your fears And you remembered of a simple girl that Had always been there offering her love and Bringing the connection to your will she forgot her fears But of course, you painted with words the landscape that she needed Just so she would play along and you weren’t overwhelmed by your feelings When he was gone I thought that I was staying The bliss I felt was worth the risk of failing Embracing all the hope that this was real I believed you dear But of course, it all got worse, you disappeared into distance Thank you for destroying all the things I thought I had in an instant Well, this song is a promise that I’ll never return to the coldest arms and your little world And even if I get lonely and you happen to call I won’t answer you nowhere, cause to me, girl you’re gone And I won’t miss the lies I found and how you broke me down with your empty words In your seesaw of feelings, I’m the only one hurt Cause you got me up and down and running around after an illusion of love But you lack all the meaning and I lack all the luck Now that you’re gone my soul is breaking up ‘cause I live alone wishing for crumbs of love and Everybody seems to disappear when the feeling’s real How could you offer what you haven’t got? How? Could you have lied when I was so caught up? How? Clearly the cruelty was near and I couldn’t hear All the noise inside your voice, cause your skin would change my weather Cooling off and heating up my temperature as light as a feather Deep inside I wish that you’d come back but I live in spite of those that don’t react so What’s the point of forcing us to meet when you have no need For us both to get close, I’ll fold my worth to get better And resist, cause I exist beyond the twist of disciplined failure Well, this song is a promise that I’ll never return to the coldest arms and your little world And even if I get lonely and you happen to call I won’t answer you nowhere, cause to me, girl, you’re gone And I won’t miss the lies I found and how you broke me down with your empty words In your seesaw of feelings, I’m the only one hurt Cause you got me up and down and running around after an illusion of love But you lack all the meaning and I lack all the luck Well, this song is a promise that I’ll never return to the coldest arms and your little world This song is a promise that I’ll never return to the coldest arms and your little world This song is a promise that I’ll never return to the coldest arms and your little world I think I’ve honestly now had enough of People who use me and don’t give a fuck I won’t be your experimental deal so get out of here
