The Way I Love You

We’ve yelled words we shouldn’t
We’ve fought for the best
Those tears we were crying
Both happy and sad
Oh time it stops and people fade when you step in a room
I don’t love anyone the way I love you
We don’t fear the silence
You read like a book
I’d last a decade on one of those looks
I would give the ocean up to swim in your blues
I don’t love anyone the way I love you
The way I love you
The way I
If I know what love is it’s because of you
You light my fire yeah that’s the whole truth
I know it’s easy to get lost in all of the issues
I’ll tell the whole world
Top of my lungs
Past present future
They know you’re the one
Doesn’t take a diamond ring to say that I do
I don’t love anyone
No I don’t love anyone
I don’t love anyone
The way I love you

Pretending

I'm not who you thought I was
But you’re not who you said you were
And I wanna be there for you
But you gotta invite me first
In the back of the party I tripped in your high heeled shoes
I think this is the part where I slip up and I tell you
I miss pretending that I’m good for you
Wish you’d keep lying like you used to do
I miss believing I’m supposed to be better beside you
But now that we're ending
I'll miss pretending, cause I miss you
I'm sorry I tried so hard
Poked holes in your heart shaped box
I wanted to play the part but all I did was fall apart
I wish I wasn’t hard to love
Cause loves hard enough
In the back of the party I tripped in your high heeled shoes
I think this is the part where I slip up and I tell you
I miss pretending that I’m good for you
Wish you’d keep lying like you used to do
I miss believing I’m supposed to be better beside you
But now that we're ending
I'll miss pretending, cause I miss you

Used To It
02:42

I never changed my mind
Watching you walk away
All that you left behind
That was my everything
How many drinks? How many hellos?
Yeah
How many stays? How many should goes?
Uh
How many tears?
How many new lows can someone feel before they’re getting over it?
Time should’ve stopped when you left me wish
I learned to forget like you did
And I fill the days while my heart stays empty
I never got over you, I just got used to it
Oh
I never got over you, I just got used to it
All of your favorite books
I kept them on my shelf
Cuz I need a piece of you
I’m hoping the pages help
How many drinks? How many hellos?
Yeah
How many stays? How many should goes?
Uh
How many tears?
How many new lows can someone feel before they’re getting over it?
Time should’ve stopped when you left me wish
I learned to forget like you did
And I fill the days while my heart stays empty
I never got over you, I just got used to
Nights on the floor staring at this tv
Mornings afraid it would hit
I’m stuck in a loop and the thought it scares me
I never got over you, I just got used to it
Oh
I never got over you, I just got used to it
I never got over you

Tinted Windows

I can hear them talking
But I have nothing to say
In a room full of people
That just wanna meet you
But you turn your back away
Grab yourself a drink
Though it'll sit at your feet
In a room full of bodies
You do your best hobby
And watch them pretend it's okay
Breathe it in
Though all of your bones are paper thin
If I could cry out my voice would break
It's so overwhelming, the weight's too much to take
If I could tell you how I'm feeling, where would I begin
I'm on the outside looking in
The front door is creaking
And headlights they drive you home
You find your silence
Like stars to a pilot
Somehow you let them all go
You're surprised in the mirror
But we’ve been here before
You'll turn on the T.V
Cause that's something easy
But cry yourself to sleep on the floor
Breathe it in
Though all of your bones are paper thin
If I could cry out my voice would break
It's so overwhelming, the weight's too much to take
If I could tell you how I'm feeling, where would I begin
I'm on the outside looking in

Almost Loved You
03:40
|

I've never felt so damn exposed
It's like you held me up just to let me go
And I heard you're fine
And that's alright
But the hardest part about this is you won't say goodbye
I tried my best to hold my breath
Turns out I was right to second guess
You gave your word
And made a promise
And wrapped 'em in a lie
And I said it didn't hurt
But if I'm being honest
The closer we got
The further I fell
So close, I almost loved you
I wish you knew the words you say
Are more than what my heart should ever take
I wish you never knew my name
Wish you could take back what you gave
Then maybe I'd be okay
You gave your word
And made a promise
And wrapped 'em in a lie
And I said it didn't hurt
But if I'm being honest
The closer we got
The further I fell
So close, I almost loved you
I tried my best to hold my breath
Turns out I was right to second guess
You gave your word
And made a promise
And wrapped 'em in a lie
And I said it didn't hurt
But if I'm being honest
The closer we got
The further I fell
So close, I almost loved you
And sometimes I still want to
