Insecure

i hate the diffident shake you put in me
i’m tired of having to say that i’m sorry
my hands just won’t behave cause of someone
who doesn’t matter anymore
but my body keeps the score
i’m ripping letters, breaking mirrors
repainting my door
i’m redrawing my map so i don’t
go back to your shore
i throw away your jacket wipe the footprints off the floor
but something about your memory still makes me
insecure
i hate the full body ache that you give me
i wish i could have a break from your gravity
that i could leave this place and say proudly
that you don’t matter anymore
yet my body keeps the score
i’m ripping letters, breaking mirrors
repainting my door
i’m redrawing my map so i don’t
go back to your shore
i throw away your jacket wipe the footprints off the floor
but something about your memory still makes me
insecure
is it because of the words that you said?
or just how i’m twisting them inside my head?
i feel insane for still filling up with dread
when i utter your name
so i fight, and i fight
hoping one day that this hurt will be dead
i’m burning letters, shatter mirrors
locking all my doors
i’m drawing a new map so i don’t
go back to your shore
i throw away your jacket wipe the footprints off the floor
but something about your memory still makes me
insecure
makes me insecure
something about you makes me insecure
maybe one day i won’t let you make me
insecure

i know you said he’s a nice guy
you’ve mentioned that a few hundred times
when he makes a joke that makes us roll our eyes
you cover up his many faults
because he said that he’s in love
and you’ve been waiting for a long, long time
daisy
he’s crazy for you
but not in the way you’d like him to be
i know you think he makes you happy
but daisy
he’s crazy
daisy, daisy
he took you on a bike ride
sat on the lawn and started to cry,
“when you go out, i worry that you’re not mine”
fifteen missed calls, and a forced smile
just off the grid for a little while
proving your love, it’s a reckless, endless trial
daisy
he’s crazy for you
but not in the way you’d like him to be
starting to seem like you’re not happy
yeah daisy
he’s crazy
three years and a house
he has you sit down
shallow breathing now
last chance to get out
he pulls out a ring
clears his throat and sings
daisy, daisy
give me your answer, do
i’m half crazy, crazy in love with you
then you reject his marriage
cause you’re tired of living scared and
you take your sweetness and your pride
and leave him for a solo ride
daisy
he’s crazy for you
but you no longer have to worry
come on, let’s go find your happy
cause daisy
he’s crazy
daisy, daisy

Walk

i walk alone
alone at night
with my headphones
on, my shoulders tight
call it trust
call it denial
flirting with death and dust
teasing the fire
i just wanna go out get some air
not trying to cause a scene
didn’t do my hair
and i’ll probably be alright
who’d bother with me
who’d have the time
it’s fine
keep the music up keep walking
keep your eyes forward then down
headlights
seem to follow just ignore them
just paranoia going round and round
you’re fine it’s fine you’ll make it home
it’s just a walk you know
i called a friend
just to be safe
and we pretend that it’s a joke
in some sick way
i just wanna go out get some air
don’t want to be seen
look, i don’t care
yeah i’ll probably be alright
who’d bother with me
who’d have the time
it’s fine
keep the music up keep walking
keep your eyes forward then down
headlights
seem to follow just ignore them
just paranoia going round and round
you’re fine it’s fine you’ll make it home
it’s just a walk you know
i’m just reading too many articles
getting uptight and cynical
maybe i’m out of my mind
but i worry if i let my guard down this
one night i’m gonna regret it
and it’ll be the last time i
go out to get some air
not trying to cause a scene
didn’t do my hair
no i don’t care
don’t look at me
no i’m not scared
it’s fine
keep the music up keep walking
keep your eyes forward then down
his eyes
seem to follow just ignore them
just paranoia going round and round
you’re fine it’s fine you’ll make it home
it’s just a walk you know

Spider

there’s a spider living in my bedroom
i freak out when i see him
but it’s worse when he is gone
and he reminds me of you
he reminds me of you
when he’s gone his shadow stays, the fear looms
i just know that he’s waiting
keep my eyes open til dawn
yeah, he reminds me of you
he reminds me of you
i hate it when you call
but when you don’t show up at all
i’m scared you’re lurking, and planning
the secret ways to bruise me, oh
words are knives that hurt
but silence, oh it just burns worse
and i would like to kill that spider
not keep hiding
but the guilt would be my curse
there’s a spider crawling on my ceiling
i wish i could ignore him but this panic in my chest
it twists when i look away
i can’t look away
i hate it when you call
but when you don’t show up at all
i’m scared you’re lurking, and planning
the secret ways to bruise me, oh
words are knives that hurt
but silence, oh it just burns worse
and i would like to kill that spider
not keep hiding
but the guilt would be my curse
my curse
my curse
is you
what’s worse
what’s worse
letting you remain
or letting you go
and not knowing what you’ll do
you know the deepest parts of me
and if i set you free you might just
haunt me for eternity
i hate it when you call
but when you don’t show up at all
i’m scared you’re lurking, and planning
the secret ways to bruise me, oh
words are knives that hurt
but silence, oh it just burns worse
and i would like to kill that spider
not keep hiding
but the guilt would be my curse

Lifetime

i read into it too far again
guess those eyes were the eyes of a friend
now i regret checking my phone
guess it’s another evening alone
i lived a whole lifetime with you in my head
don’t matter now cause you’re loving her instead
and it’s fine, i’m fine, i’ll be alright
guess i’ll just start erasing a lifetime
it’s my fault that i misjudged the signs
she was always right between the lines
deep down i guess that i’ve known
why did i fully give in to hope
i lived a whole lifetime with you in my head
don’t matter now cause you’re loving her instead
and it’s fine, i’m fine, i’ll be alright
guess i’ll just start erasing a lifetime
no i didn’t see you take my hand
no i didn’t see you lead me through our first dance
i didn’t see our house on the shore
i’ve never thought of that before
so now i’m looking down at my hands
i’m gonna let myself get up and dance
cause one day i’ll get to that house on the shore
but i just don’t see you in it anymore
i lived a whole lifetime with you in my head
don’t matter now cause you’re loving her instead
and it’s fine, i’m fine, i’ll be alright
guess i’ll just start writing my own lifetime
cause i don’t really need you as my lifeline
i’m just barely beginning my lifetime
