You're leavin'
Are you leavin'?
I guess that you're tryin'
And are you happy?
Are you happy?
You're so happy it hurts, the state I'm in
But I won't forget
No, I won't forget
And now I'm cryin'
Oh, I'm cryin'
I haven't cried in such a long long time
But you were by me my whole life

What is up with this thing called yearning?
Do you want someone specific or anybody?
Do you have no one and want someone?
Do you have no one and just want someone?
And what is up with this concept "single"?
As if you ever could be just one little single thing
Why do they ask us to be so simple?
Why do they tell us that we're so simple?
Is there a tie we have between us or is it just me?
I'm kinda sensing something special but it might just be me
Just me, not you
Do you feel this too?
Is it me and you?
Just me and you
Maybe there's part of me that's yearning
Do I have someone I need or just anybody?
Do I have no one and want someone?
Do I have no one and just want someone?
Yeah I guess you could call me "single"
But I'm more than just lonely, there's many parts of me
Sometimes I'm full of worlds and people
Maybe I wish you were one of those people
Is there a tie we have between us or is it just me?
I'm kinda sensing something special but it might not be true
Just me, not you
Do you feel it too?
Just me, not you!
Is it me and you?
Just me, yeah

Lipstick on your eyelids cause you wanted it to stay
Cause you wanted it to stay the whole night
Lipstick on your eyelids like you wanted to believe
Like you wanted to believe it would last forever
Pink strip on your eyelids cause you wanted them to stay
Yeah you wanted them to stay the whole night
Got a pink strip on your eyelids cause you wanted to believe
That they'd show up eventually but they didn't ever
Oh no, oh no
Tell me you want to
Say that you want to go
Oh no
Don't tell me you want to
Say that you want to go
Oh, no
Tell me you want to
Say what you wanted before
Oh no
Tell me you want to, tell me you wanted more
One eye on the stage and one eye dancing on the floor
Do you wonder who it is I'm waiting for?
You're just far away enough to be inconvenient
Would you really go out of your way to come see me?
Oh no, oh no!
Tell me you want to say that you want to go
Say that you want to
Say that you want to go
Oh, no
Don't tell me you want to
Say that you want to go
Oh, no!
Don't tell me you want to
Say but you never show

just cuz

am I texting you too much?
or are you just not around as much?
We’ve been talking less and less it’s messing me up
Infatuation's like a drug
an upper that I can’t give up
but then suddenly I don’t see you enough
You don’t owe me anything
but I’m still bummed out when you don’t text me
You don’t owe me anything
And maybe i’m starting to think that
Just cuz you invite me to parties doesn't mean you wanna hang with me
Just one-on-one it seems to be
Not so fun that you're free
And just cuz you've been giving me heartache
Doesn't mean I matter much to you
Even if I want you to
But I don't think you do
Trying to divest from this crush
so I don’t feel so crush crush crushed
After lowered expectations this is enough
taking this arm's length with a grin
before disappointment does me in
Try to be grateful for any spot of recognition
just cause you invite me to parties
doesn’t mean you’re interested in me
like I thought or hoped you’d be
want what I’m wanting
just cause you’re giving me heartache
doesn’t mean I mean too much to you
but even then I wish it’s true
but even then I tell you
just cause I invite you to my place
doesn’t mean I want more than your time
but you’re so busy that perhaps
That’s too much to ask
Seems like we’ve got lots in common
I wanted to talk more if you were free
That’s all I was wondering
But if not I’ve gotta be
Fine with that and cool with that and understand we won't be that
Take it slow I'm here to show if needs be I can let you go
And I don’t wanna push you more
I’ll tend to my heart, it’s sore
But you don’t have to know that so I’ll keep it to this song I sing for you

Here I am on the other side
You’re losing me and I’ve lost my stride
Now I’ve lived long enough to become the adversary in my old songs
Here I am on the other side
You're wanting me, and I wanna die
You want that too but you want me more
but I'm afraid, I can’t be yours
Do you relate to me circa 2019
While you mourn me in 2023
Either way, I promise you’re not missing as much as you think
I love singing these songs but it feels so wrong
Cause I've led you on walks I can’t walk
and the me you longed for was just really not me at all
So sorry you had to fall
Here I am on the other side
So-called adult, so hating life
I used to judge my teachers hard
Now I judge me in each regard
And here we are tangled up inside,
Trying to extricate our lives from an attachment gone so young
I can count on my hands all the times I saw you
This past year I tried to be someone so cool
who you could live vicariously through
tried going out for drinks and dates
But I hate this place!
I woke up angry and fully out of time
cause the world a fraud but like, so am I
lacking all the drive
for any part of being alive
I feel so dead inside
I broke your heart then I broke my leg
such funny timing in the end
I don’t respect what I have said
I can’t stand by, I’ll stay in bed
sorry I fled
Breaking my leg after breaking hearts
Think I deserved to fall apart
And when you see me next you’ll say
I think we could all just use a break
We all will get our break
