been quite a while
since I could look you in the eye
or my own eyes in the mirror
but now I try to try to try
come back soon
you're welcome anytime
if you ever change your mind
you might as well change mine
been a little while
since I ran away to hide
you stopped by my new spot
guess I'll see you by and by

Sleep Well

think of you often
resolved not to speak
hope you are well
guess I'll see you next week
I heard you sing
in the shower for work
still kind of stings
on the couch where I lurk
sleep well my dear
without me around
sleep well my dear
I won't make a sound
now you have an old friend
take care let her mend
I'll miss the spare room
but some things must end
see both of you soon
I'll crash on the floor
when morning comes
I'll head for the door

From the Start

perched upon a precipice
remember anyone you'll miss
lonely nights that we once shared
with the burdens that we bear
I know how it feels
to fall apart
see it coming
from the start
past our points of
no return
when will we ever
just fucking learn
run ourselves into the ground
all we lost and all we found
swim to shore and soon you'll know
about the grip of the undertow

Spare Some Hope
03:25

tired of sleeping
tired of staying awake
sunrise means less
shiver and you shake
steady your fingers
the day's about to break
with enough coffee
nothing you can't fake
just make it through today
tired of leaving
tired of running in place
sunset sinking
the moon shows its face
stare at the ceiling
hours feel like days
remember the words
force your mouth to say
just make it through today
we'll figure it out tomorrow
spare some hope that I could borrow

One Last Try
05:35

where are you now
I already know
wish you were here
anywhere near
miss you like hell
sight and your smell
see you again
god only knows when
have the last word
I already heard
ring in my ears
year after year
down and I'm out
I won't be caught
shed no more tears
forget all your fears
one last thought
before I go
one last kiss
before the cold
one last touch
hide from the snow
one last try
you'll never know
where are you now
I already know
wish you were here
anywhere near
one last thought
before I go
one last kiss
before the cold
one last touch
hide from the snow
one last try
you'll never know
(never want to see you
never want to miss you
never want to feel this way
never meant to hurt you
never should have left you
never meant to be this way)
