Something is Broken 04:20
lyrics
SOMETHING IS BROKEN Point, click, refresh Trying to pretend that all these pixels are flesh Feeling more alone right now than I ever have Everyone’s a salesman, it’s a marketplace But no one’s makin’ cash, we’re all just runnin’ in place I want to make you think I’m your new best friend, oh yeah I send you a friend request and now we’re trading likes But I still run away if I see you in real life Something is broken and I think it might be me Wanting you to want this better version of me If there’s anything true in this great big place it’s the way that I feel when I see your face So pull me out, prop me up, I’ll never understand Why it’s so hard for me to hold your hand If anything is true in this great big place it’s the way that I feel when I see your face Turn, smile, play the part Framing this deception like a work of art Baby, will we ever know who we are Empty feelings, We’re buried neck deep beneath beautiful things But all we ever see are the things we lack, oh yea I try to say I’m serious but no one ever hears I guess I’ll tuck back in and I’ll try again next year Something is broken and I think it might be me Wanting you to want this better version of me If there’s anything true in this great big place it’s the way that I feel when I see your face So pull me out, prop me up, I’ll never understand Why it’s so hard for me to hold your hand If anything is true in this great big place it’s the way that I feel when I see your face when you’re afraid of the tension and what you’re way too scared to mention and you’re horrified by what it all might mean when all you want is to heal it but you’re way too scared to feel it and you’re crying out to someone on a screen Something is broken and I think it might be me Wanting you to want this better version of me If there’s anything true in this great big place it’s the way that I feel when I see your face So pull me out, prop me up, I’ll never understand Why it’s so hard for me to hold your hand If anything is true in this great big place it’s the way that I feel when I see your face

Black Heart (One of These Days) 04:51
lyrics
black, black coffee staring up at me gettin’ colder by the second, but I just can’t see eyes closed tight, fightin’ hard to say that one of these days I’ll be okay black, black road runnin’ fast as I can the sun sinkin’ low on this broken man the smiles seem nice, but they just don’t pay but one of these days, I’ll be okay one of these days in a far-off dream building my home behind a bright sunbeam the view ain’t great, but at least I can see the person staring back at me is free yeah, one of these days I’ll be who I’ll be and I’ll leave my past behind me one of these days black, black heart on a windowsill it’s been 8 long years since my world stood still sometimes I think of what I did to you and I think about what love can pull ya through one of these days in a far-off dream building my home behind a bright sunbeam the view ain’t great, but at least I can see the person staring back at me is free yeah, one of these days I’ll be who I’ll be and I’ll leave my past behind me one of these days black, black night, with the fan on high wide awake, believing every lie asking something out there to show me the way so one of these days, I’ll be okay one of these days in a far-off dream building my home behind a bright sunbeam the view ain’t great, but at least I can see the person staring back at me is free yeah, one of these days I’ll be who I’ll be and I’ll leave my past behind me one of these days asking something out there to show me the way so one of these days, I’ll be okay

Hear Another Word 04:05
lyrics
there are things that don’t make sense to me how can i be someone who believes what i can’t see and when i see the proof, i just lie there in the dark i guess i’m just afraid of what it means i see the stars lighting up the sky pouring out in every direction and for a moment i’m okay with all the mysteries of life but i guess i’m still afraid of what it means will i alway be the man i am will i get a chance to clear up all I’ve blurred as hopeful as i’ve ever been, i stopped asking why ‘cause all the answers to my questions seem absurd and i don’t wanna hear another word another day becomes another night and everything I am/was is lying shattered in plain site these longing groans of silence, they won’t let me sleep tonight I guess I know exactly what it means will i alway be the man i am will i get a chance to clear up all I’ve blurred as hopeless as i’ve ever been, i stopped asking why ‘cause all the answers to my questions seem absurd and i don’t wanna hear another word if i raise my hands and give you everything your love requires will it really be enough bridge this gap i could hit the gas and spend my life just wearing out these tires but maybe I’ll spend some time just staring at this map cause everything i thought i was is staring me in the face longing for another time, another place will i alway be the man i am will i get a chance to clear up all I’ve blurred as wasted as i’ve ever been, i stopped asking why ‘cause all the answers to my questions seem absurd and i don’t wanna hear another word

Let Me Love You (One More Night) 04:41
lyrics
LET ME LOVE YOU (ONE MORE NIGHT) there was a time when I would love you there was nothing that I’d need there was a time when i found rest in you and you had nothing up your sleeve but I feel like the ending is coming and it’s coming fast; I can't keep up and I feel like I’m gonna regret saying this but I can’t shut up let me love you one more night Let me hold you tight I don’t care if it’s wrong or right Baby let’s turn down the light Just let me love you one more night there was a time when i would carry you when your words did more than sting there was a time when I would marry you now you’re pawning off your ring and there's no doubt the ending is coming and it’s coming fast; I can't keep up and I feel like I’m gonna regret saying this but I can’t shut up let me love you one more night Let me hold you tight I don’t care if it’s wrong or right Baby let’s turn down the light Just let me love you one more night and there’s nothing I can do to make it end it’s something that I just can’t comprehend how you could leave me lonely when you promised me your life I wish I never met you, least of all made you my wife let me love you one more night Let me hold you tight I don’t care if it’s wrong or right Baby let’s turn down the light Just let me love you one more night

Oh, Sweet Sorrow 04:49
lyrics
lights line the road that led me your way tonight they flicker like they’re ‘fraid of goin’ black but goin’ out’s all I got / and I’m tied up in a knot lookin’ for one more shirt to pack regrets line the road that led me your way tonight simple words and songs I can’t take back with nothing 'between us but a fence we can't tear down down I’m one more night from never comin’ back oh sweet sorrow you‘re holdin’ my hand tonight and tellin’ me where to go from here oh sweet sorrow I ain’t got no more fight but I’m thinkin’ I got time for one more beer I’m chasin’ you down and shoutin’ your name for all to hear oh sweet sorrow, I got nothin’ left to fear with nothing up ahead but the cold, cold air I sang my leavin’ song and I left town but nothin’ I can say / can chase your memory away I’ll be singing your sweet name on my way down oh sweet sorrow you‘re holdin’ my hand tonight and tellin’ me where to go from here oh sweet sorrow you’re wearin’ me down tonight I guess I got time for one more beer I’ll be chasin’ you down and shoutin’ your name for all to hear oh sweet sorrow, I got nothin’ to fear oh save me tomorrow from the man I’ve always been oh save me from thinkin’ that you're my only friend oh deliver me from hopin’ and believin’ the words I pray oh save me from thinkin’ you might have a part to play oh sweet sorrow you‘re holdin’ my hand tonight and tellin’ me where to go from here oh sweet sorrow you’re wearin’ me down tonight I guess I got time for one more beer I’ll be chasin’ you down and shoutin’ your name for all to hear oh sweet sorrow, I got nothin’ to fear

I Want You To Know That You're Okay 03:11
lyrics
life is hard and it’s confusing all you think you know can crumble at your feet it hurts like hell you don’t know how you got here i want you to know that you’re okay you’re alone surrounded by people no one understands the war inside your head you wish like hell you had someone to talk to i want you to know that you’re okay your family was your rock and now it’s broken love replaced by quiet empty rooms you wish like hell it could be the way it was i want you to know that you’re okay you used to have big dreams and you could taste them spread out right before you like a fire now all you dream about is peace and quiet i want you to know that you’re okay you fight yourself each morning In the mirror eyes so full of life now seem so dead tears, they fall and seem to have no purpose i want you to know that you’re okay i know it’s hard to think that it gets better and i know it’s hard to move your feet at all but somewhere down this path’s a new beginning i want you to know that you’re okay Yes, somewhere down this path’s a new beginning i want you to know that you’re okay
