Stung

I look away when I see you walk in
Just so I can look at you again
I look at you the way I look at the sky
But I don't wanna look up when we say goodnight
Good thing I don't miss you, or this would be hard
Good thing I don't love you, or I couldn't stand this part
Too bad you don't like me, but it would've been nice
Maybe it would have worked out if we lived different kind of lives, but
I'm a little bit stung, but I'm healing up just fine
It still hurts but I heard it just takes a little time
Do you ever think of me when you're gone?
I bet you don't miss me at all
I'm not saying that I still want you
But sometimes I hope the sound of my voice, it haunts you cuz
I'm a little bit stung, but I'm healing up just fine
It still hurts but I heard it just takes a little time
Well, it's been a long time
I look away, hoping I'll see you walk in
Will I ever see you again?

Outside

I'm sure it's a beautiful day
I shut my windows to shut out the light
And there's so much I would like to say
But he's not anywhere in sight
I bet that I could hate him if I didn't love him so
I'm sure I'll be alright but this feels too much like home
Every time I put myself out there
The universe tells me to go back in
Sometimes I'm convinced no one really cares
Nobody wants me in the state I'm in
I'm so accustomed to my luck, so used to being alone
I dont deserve to feel so stuck, but that's where I feel at home
I don't wanna step outside my door.
I don't wanna step outside my door.
I'm sure someday I'll move on, but here I feel at home
I'm not gonna step outside my door
I'm not gonna step outside my door
What if he shows up at my door?
I'm not gonna step outside

I Keep Coming Back
05:28

It's not happening, you and me
I know I will be fine eventually
I may never know exactly why
I've fallen by the wayside of every ship that passed by
No matter what I tried
Looking back to when we first met
How could I have known what trouble I would get?
Years from that day, here we are
And I should have moved on by now but I haven't gotten too far
And I don't even wanna start
If you're wondering why I look so sad, so sad
I'll tell you the truth. I'm not quite over you
And if you want me to go, you gotta push me, push me away a little harder than you do
All I wanted was you
And I keep coming back for you
I make it sound worse than it is
I really don't mind sinking deeper into this
I make you sound colder than you are
I know the man I fell for has a heart
And that's the complicated part
If you're wondering why I look so sad, so sad
I'll tell you the truth. I'm not quite over you
And if you want me to go, you gotta push me, push me away a little harder than you do
All I wanted was you
And I keep coming back for you
I keep falling, falling, oh I do...
What do I do, I do?
If you're wondering why I look so sad
Do you wanna hear the truth? I'm not over you
And if you want me to go, you gotta push me, push me away a little harder than you do
All I wanted was you
And I keep coming back for you
What do I do, I do?
It's so sad, so sad what love will make you do
I keep coming back for you...
All I wanted was you
And I keep coming back for you...

A Little Longer
04:44

The end of the summer came and you haven't been around
Set my sights on September when the leaves start turning brown
Soon it will be autumn and that's when I miss you the most
When Halloween is over, I'll still be living as a ghost.
In the air of February, pink and red makes me blue
I'll wish you happy birthday, it's just another year to you
I promise I'm not bitter, it's alright that you don't call
I want a heart like winter, I don't want a heart at all
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
My heart makes me lose my mind
It may take a little longer, but I'm gonna be just fine
I don't want you to feel bad, cuz I know you felt it too
You didn't want to hurt me, but you don't want me loving you
I heard it in your voice and I saw it in your face
You said I should move on, but I'm just running in place
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
My heart makes me lose my mind
It may take a little longer, but I'm gonna be just fine

Nevermind
06:02

Nevermind all the things you said last night
Here we are now in the early morning light
Nevermind all the dreams we left behind
Cuz this morning, all I want is you by my side
Turn around, there's the sun peeking through the blinds
And nevermind the pain inside your head
Let it clear your mind
Nevermind all the silly things I say
When I only want to see you shine
Nevermind if I'm selfish in a way
I know I can't keep you, oh I know that you're not mine
When you go home, I'll be alone again and that's fine
So nevermind when I watch you drive away before I go back inside
You never say anything unless it takes a long time to say
I know you see what's here, and I'd give anything to make you feel the same.
But nevermind. I know it doesn't work that way
There's no stopping someone that doesn't want to stay
Nevermind me, I know it's gonna be just fine
I'll behave myself, no I won't cross any lines.
I'll just keep quiet and enjoy it while you're near
And nevermind that I could spend the rest of my life right here
I want to stay right here...

Guilt Trip
06:05

This isn't a guilt trip. I'm not a cloud hanging over you.
I'm just on a road trip, and I don't know where I'm going but I'll make it through...
Love unreturned has its rainbows
So now you know where my mind is
When I look lost, staring out of windows
I'm wondering where my rainbow is
But gray skies, they don't make me blue
I made it through those storms cuz I have friends like you
And this isn't a guilt trip. I'm not a cloud hanging over you.
My heart's just on a road trip, and I don't know where I'm going but I'll make it through...
I've been torn down like a house condemned
But that was years ago, and you're nothing like him
I just needed some renovation
I get a little better every time I begin again
But you never took a hammer to me
So I got turned down, it didn't work out but I've been set free
And this isn't a guilt trip. I'm not a cloud hanging over you.
I'm just on a road trip, and I don't know where I'm going but I'll make it through. I'm gonna make it through.
You're one of the best I've ever met.
My grip isn't as tight, but I can't quite let go yet...
But this isn't a guilt trip.
This isn't a guilt trip.
My heart's just on a road trip. And it's a long journey but
I'm gonna make it through.
I'll make it through, with or without you.
