If you want to use me, feel free to. To tell you the truth, just as long as I'm near you, I don't mind being used. Tell me what to do. Tell me what I should say to you. I wish I knew, I wish you'd tell me what to do.
Maybe I should hold it in until it bursts out of my skin, but that will not help anything, I know.
I always knew that this was too good to be true and I am far too worried that I'll come clean soon. Tell me what to do. Tell me what I should say to you. I wish I knew, I wish you'd tell me what to do.
Maybe I should just hold out until the words fall out my mouth, but I don't see how that would help at all. Maybe I should hold it in until it bursts out of my skin, but that will not help anything, I know.

Everybody's Happy Now

All around me lives are falling into place and I don't know how long I have to wait. Because "the best years of my life"... They dragged their heels and they still flew by.
I don't want to go. I don't want to stay.
Do you know how much I think of you? Well I don't know if you would want to. I think you'd get me out of bed. You would make try my best again. But maybe I'm clutching at straws. I just don't know what I've been waiting for. But I've been waiting a long time. How many wrong turns will make a right?
I don't want to go. I don't want to stay.

Is it around the corner? Am I getting warmer? There is nothing between waking up and going back to sleep. And this isn't working, I know I've tried nothing. There isn't a single thought inside my head.
This has not felt real for a long time now.
All the empty bedrooms and the photos torn in two... There is nothing to say, there's nothing to do except to wait. And I've been pretending none of this is happening. There isn't a single thought inside my head.
This has not felt real for a long time now.
All the empty spaces. All the empty faces.

Slow It Down

Speed it up. I have had enough. I can hear you all in the hall above. And those faces I can't see are smiling and those voices laugh while I am crying. Slow it down. My head's underground when your hair is down. I've got things I have to do tonight. Don't give me any excuse to hide because it won't work. You don't notice me. Learning how to release my words slowly to sound like they've been forced out of my mouth when I secretly want them to come out. You are all I have to think about.
Slow it down. I can't be here when you are around. Say that again, I already forgot what you just said. Putting it off until it's too late, never learning from any mistakes.
I'll miss it when it's gone. I know I've not got long.
