It took some lies to get to you But then all of my dreams came true. Broke some hearts along the way It’s worth it if you’re here to stay. I don’t condone things normally That are controversial morally, but, It took some lies to get to you And it’s worth it if you love me too. I swear I’m not the type to lie But it took some lies to get to you Nature and nurture together caused this. I stole your words to write a song Show you that we’d get along. I don’t condone things normally That’ll lead into catastrophe but It took some lies to get to you And all the while I felt so blue Now it’s worth it if you feel the same And I get to cry your perfect name Waited months and stretched for myles And it took some lies to get to you Sociopathic rendezvous In order to conquer all we’ll slay all our demons in the meantime. I’ll soothe your insecurities, bandage my anxieties Over and over, over and over again. He’s so close to the cutoff that he’s almost Gen Y. He’s my intellectual, bisexual younger guy He’s so inspirational, sensational- the apple of my eye. He’s my intellectual, bisexual younger guy. I love a boy who dresses wild. I love a boy with a Cheshire smile. Sapphire eyes, raw luxury style. I love a boy named Myles.

It’s getting to the point where I think you never loved me- Does that make me crazy? I’m wondering all along was there something that I couldn’t see? I’m afraid of love and I’m afraid of everything But honestly I’m hoping in the end that for some reason you’ll still marry me To get along together shouldn’t be so hard But to belong forever, is it still in the cards? I’m a wreck without you, and I’m a mess when I’m with you. It doesn’t mean I don’t miss you. It means I’m sad. I’m getting very tired of feeling inadequate. I know you feel it, too. Sneaking around when I always was an advocate for what you needed to do. To get along together we have to be alone. To belong forever- someday I hope. CHORUS And I’m trying to forget all the times you made me smile. I’m getting very tired of feeling really tired and lazy. I’m getting very tired of feeling uninspired and lazy.

Your concerns are important to me I can learn, turn, upon a plea. I’m in reverse, it’s a curse, but no complaining. How do I grow up, Mom? I’ve never felt less sentimental My optimist streak is a rental. Repair- life’s not fair- it’s constant training. When did I grow up, Mother? How do I grow up, Mom? I’m too busy getting my life together to comb my hair. I’m too hurried away by my smallest winnings to even care. No, please, don’t believe that I think I’m right, here. I never was at all. How do I grow up, Mom?

No Home 02:50
When you have no home, there’s no point in being tired With nowhere to go to rest your bones. When you have no home, your soul is fleeting even more than before. No lover to keep you warm. No bed to brave the storm. No place to lay your head When your motivation’s dead. No stove to warm your tea. No brain-numbing TV. You’ll have to think about How you got so down and out. I’ll lay my body on the train tracks and never come back. When you’ve seen it all, you are surprised that you continue to fall Like a limp rag doll. When you’ve seen it all you may come across to others just the way you feel- Not a great appeal. You’ve got no destination No magic inspiration No friends to pat your back During panic attack. No normal conversation. No clear contemplation. You’re sitting on your own Constantly checking your phone. Go take a nap down on the train tracks and never come back. There’s no way to lose your mind when it’s already been left behind.

Well it’s ok to be alone Cuz I’d be lonely either way Even with another body That I may beg to stay It never really helps The feeling never goes away So why bother fake another day? I’ve been standing on my own Since before I knew what lonely meant. I was nine years old When my innocence was spent. And nothing really helps The feeling never goes away It gets stronger, but it’s all ok Cuz everybody tells you it’ll be ok It’ll get better as you find your way. But were they there when your purpose was declared? When it comes to their perception I can’t say I really care So it’s ok to be alone Cuz that’s all we’ll ever be And though it’s nice to have a friend I don’t know you, you don’t know me. It might feel like help temporarily But it’s back to one by the time you count to 1, 2, 3.
