I Know I'm Not 05:00
lyrics
I'm sorry I'm not doing well without you It seemed so easy for you to up and go To stop our words Was it really Were you composed Well it's over Are you happy now I know I'm not The distance doesn't make a difference The moment I go I fall back to the bottom No rest no sleep no Nothing to see My eyes stay closed But my chest lies open on the floor I've said all I can say This was my last day That I waste my time On these charades I've done enough now I'm gone and out of this town No more looking back for an open door I don't know what's going on And I'm trying not to care There's only so much I can do I've lost the need to speak or remember you I've said all I can say This was my last day That I waste my time On these charades I've done enough now I'm gone and out of this town No more looking back for an open door I've said all I can say This was my last day That I waste my time On these charades I've done enough now I'm gone and out of this town No more looking back for an open door

Baby Blue 03:15
lyrics
It's okay, alright, I'm fine You don't have to stick around if you mind I'm sure Baby Blue will do just fine And that was up to You made up your mind You have a new home I'm sure he's waiting around But I didn't hear that from you I just wish I could believe you It's getting harder Your intentions are losing touch Beating around the bush Can only do so much Before it catches up with us I can only try and keep my head up for so long Before I just don't know who to trust anymore You just have this way with words And I wish that I had stopped believing you A long time ago

Insincerity 04:08
lyrics
Can you just not bring it up right now I'm trying to heal myself From a night's lost sleep A chest that's weak Just admit defeat so I can jump this ship I'm getting better by the day I don't hear from you It's a losing battle And I'm the only one still fighting I'm so pissed off I can't believe you could have done this to me Have you ever thought about your insincerity I thought we agreed This would end courteously But I guess not tonight No I guess it's not right But I guess not tonight No I guess it's not right Fess up to what you did Cornered you get defensive Fess up to what you've done Played like the foolish one Fess up to what you did Cornered you get defensive Fess up to what you've done Played like the foolish one I'm getting better by the day I don't hear from you It was a losing battle And I was the only one still fighting But I guess I asked for it To be treated invisible It is my excuse to Finally leave this place behind It's time I should stop beating up myself I've been broken, beat, and left to dust on the shelf Tethered on a string for you to pull at will This had nothing to do with me This was all about you Fess up to what you did Cornered you get defensive Fess up to what you've done Played like the foolish one Fess up to what you did Cornered you get defensive Fess up to what you've done Played like the foolish one Well not anymore, I was wrong Far too many times for far too long You did this to yourself Now sleep in the bed you made with him

Do Better 03:07
lyrics
You always said I carried myself in my walk But little did you know I felt so small Next to you What did I have anyway Not much to offer You could do better A jack of all trades He has the skills you need That everyone needs Knows how to make you laugh Knows how to help you out when I can't Because I never could I know I'll never be anyone's first choice I can't read the signs What do I have that's special But these silly chorus lines We're just two lonely souls With nowhere to go So let's go together Because we need each other And I can't stand to be alone We're just two lonely souls With nowhere to go So let's go together Because we need each other And I can't stand to be alone I know I'll never be anyone's first choice I can't read the signs What do I have that's special But these silly chorus lines

Market Street 04:45
lyrics
Afraid to leave the house At any moment I could run into you with him I'm in all your favorite stores There's nothing between you and I Not anymore This place is driving me insane I just don't get it Why is everyone here Can't they see I'm suffocating under here It's not over, It's never over No matter how hard I try Left to hang around in my bed Waiting for your call I guess I'm just a little confused As to why you want me here You don't need me anymore You got what you came for Just get over it they said You don't need this anymore Well then why does it still feel like I'm living in hell Why does it still feel like I'm living in hell I just want to hear it from you I just want to hear it all from you What do you expect of me Expect of us What do you want me to be You know it's not that easy Why can't we just agree You still look good to me So what's the deal, let me be You know it's not that easy Why can't we just agree You still look good to me So what's the deal, let me be Let me be It's not over, It's never over No matter how hard I try Left to hang around in my bed Waiting for your call

Alone In A Crowded Room 04:08
lyrics
Maybe this time things will be different Always trying to change who I am I should really have more fun In this town I've never been All these people I've never seen Just not tonight I'm not built for this I'm not one for the late nights anymore Came all this way only to be left at the door I am alone in this crowded room No one is here for me to set my eyes to Don't even know what I'm going out for This is not what I want I'm lost and tired and sick of this tour I wish I had learned how to manage myself The same way others learned how Nothing turns out like you thought it would But if you play it back enough You can believe it had It's not that don't care I'm not pushing you away I just don't feel okay I'm not one for the late nights anymore Came all this way only to be left at the door I am alone in this crowded room No one is here for me to set my eyes to I'm not one for the late nights anymore Came all this way only to be left at the door I am alone in this crowded room No one is here for me to set my eyes to Can I just stay home Can we just not go Can I push it all away to hear your final line Can I just stay home Can we just not go Can I push it all away for one last time I'm not one for the late nights anymore Came all this way only to be left at the door I am alone in this crowded room No one is here for me to set my eyes to I'm not one for the late nights anymore Came all this way only to be left at the door I am alone in this crowded room No one is here for me to set my eyes to

Long Time Caller, First Time Listener 05:18
lyrics
I needed to be more sure of myself and of you I let my doubt and insecurities drive me I should've realized you weren't going anywhere That you would stand by your word And always be here You came bearing stress and regret Memories you wish you could forget But I have nothing to give back Than poor trade attempts It wasn't until our trip down south That I saw what it meant to be there for you Echoing your concerns Undeserving of past dictation You've given more of yourself than you could ever afford Anyone would be lucky to have you I considered myself one of them So here I am Long time caller, first time listener Hello, can you hear me So here I am Long time caller, first time listener Hello, can you hear me So here I am Long time caller, first time listener Hello, can you hear me The product of your influence I've longed for the chance to prove my self worth But we know too much now Maybe we're better off Long time caller, first time listener Are you there Can you hear me

Detroit 02:37
lyrics
I heard your voice on the night I needed it most For just a moment I was back at home And not stuck in shitty Detroit And not stuck in shitty Detroit I thought I found who I am and why I'm here But clearly things change And life finds a way to point me back to you Feeling like somebody else for days on end You bring me back to my genuine myself Wanting to roam away from home You bring me back to my genuine myself Feeling like somebody else for days on end You bring me back to my genuine myself You're far out of reach Too out of my league It only took four years to see You're better than me Going places I'll never be But you showed me what it's like to be back at home And not stuck You showed me what it's like to be back at home And not stuck in shitty Detroit

We Can't Rush These Things 03:16
lyrics
Struggling to ever do anything right Always show up late or leave too early There's no rhyme or reason to my actions Forever on the fence Reaching out to others in defense Useless reassurance We need to slow this all down Wait a minute and take a step back Slowly finding out what works What doesn't, what ends up hurting the most A never ending story Watching others go, no worries We need to slow this all down Wait a minute and take a step back Take a step back Do everything a little slower So the days can go on longer Backing down, only moments to go Retracing all my steps Can't stand the thought Of never reaching true completion Falling behind On the most basic needs and actions We need to slow this all down Wait a minute and take a step back Take a step back Do everything a little slower So the days can go on longer

Closure 03:34
lyrics
The pressure is off I said what I had to say to your face Yeah it hurt Maybe I should've let it go But I wasn't myself I couldn't be myself Without letting you know It's off my chest I'm not being held back by my own words I can move forward And I can let you go Did it change your mind Is this me changing mine I'm relieved but was it all a lie That may have been the last time we ever speak again In time we'll know But for now I have to go In time we'll know But for now I have to go I wouldn't be here right now Writing all of this down Spending my last day in town I wouldn't be here right now Writing all of this down No, this is the end I wouldn't be here right now Writing all of this down If I didn't want a second chance I said some things I shouldn't have said Because I forgot what it's like In time we'll know But for now I have to go In time we'll know But for now I have to go In time we'll know But for now I have to go I hope you'll keep me close
