What Are We Doing?

I know your friends say I’m the worst
Well all of mine hate you too
They say I’m more than you deserve
I mean that's probably true
It’s cause you make me pathetic
But I can’t help it
What're we doing
Let's just call it what it is
It's unspoken we're not broken
There's some things you just can't fix
What're we doing
Cuz baby nine times out of ten
I'd be scheming ways of leaving
But this time I'm falling in
We know the walls are caving in
So let's just lay for a while
My self control is paper thin
But you go and set it on fire
Up in smoke and up flames
Burning clothes and screaming names
But for now it feelings amazing
Just don't ask
What're we doing
Let's just call it what it is
It's unspoken we're not broken
There's some things you just can't fix
What're we doing
Cuz baby nine times out of ten
I'd be scheming ways of leaving
But this time I'm falling in
What're we doing?
Ooooo what are we doing
Oooo
Up in smoke and up in flames
Burning clothes and screaming names
But for now it feels amazing
Just don’t ask
What’re we doing?

Sleeping in
Late again
But it’s perfect timing
Staying up
Just to talk
It’s getting hard to hide it
We’ve both been hurt enough and
We know we shouldn’t rush it
It might sound dumb
But I’m pretty sure
I think I’m gonna love you
I think I’m gonna bring you home
And I think every little moment
Will lead us right where we should go
I think we’re gonna learn how
Forever’s gonna feel, I know
You can’t make every wish come true
But I think I’m gonna love you
I think I’m gonna love you
I’ve never been
This innocent
But I could get used to it
In the kitchen
The way you listen
The way you pull me in
I should probably have my doubts
I shouldn’t say all this out loud
But you took those words right out my mouth
I know this much right now
I think I’m gonna love you
I think I’m gonna bring you home
And I think every little moment
Will lead us right where we should go
I think we’re gonna learn how
Forever’s gonna feel, I know
You can’t make every wish come true
But I think I’m gonna love you
I think I’m gonna love you
Maybe this light’ll fade
We’ll grow up, and walk away
But I would bet it all on us today
I think I’m gonna love you
I think I’m gonna bring you home
And I think every little moment
Will lead us right where we should go
I think we’re gonna learn how
Forever’s gonna feel, I know
You can’t make every wish come true
But I’ll spend my whole life trying to
I think I’m gonna love you

Something Stupid

I know I stand in line
Until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me
And if we go some place to dance
I know that there's a chance
You won't be leaving with me
Then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all
By saying somethin' stupid like, "I love you"
I can see it in your eyes
That you despise the same old lies
You heard the night before
And though it's just a line to you
For me it's true
And never seemed so right before
I practice every day
To find some clever lines to say
To make the meaning come true
But then I think I'll wait
Until the evening gets late
And I'm alone with you
The time is right, your perfume fills my head
The stars get red, and, oh, the night's so blue
And then I go and spoil it all
By saying somethin' stupid like, "I love you"
The time is right, your perfume fills my head
The stars get red, and, oh, the night's so blue
And then I go and spoil it all
By saying somethin' stupid like, "I love you"
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you

Let Me Have It All

I know you don’t
Want anyone to see
Cause growing up
That’s how you learned to be
I understand
It’s harder than it seems
I’ll do anything to give you what you need
I would cry your tears for you
I would take your hurt
Cause I’ll always be here for you
You’ll always be heard
Let me take your pain and I’ll
Throw it at the wall
I’m not going anywhere
Let me have it all
You know I get it twisted in my head
I’m always overthinking what I said
I know I get it wrong sometimes I’m sorry
And I know what you’re holding is heavy
I would cry your tears for you
I would take your hurt
Cause I’ll always be here for you
You’ll always be heard
Let me take your pain and I’ll
Throw it at the wall
I’m not going anywhere
Let me have it all
Let me have it all
Let me have it all
I would cry your tears for you
I would take your hurt
Cause I’ll always be here for you
You’ll always be heard
Let me take your pain and I’ll
Throw it at the wall
I’m not going anywhere
Let me have it all
Let me have it all
Let me have it all

Burn

You shut the blinds
You made me cry
You poured the gas
I shut my eyes
You locked the doors
I asked you why?
You wanted more
And so did I
Giving it all but I can’t even look in your eyes your eyes
Wish that I could be enough for you oh but I’m tired
I’m tired
Oh I wanted you to let me in
All you ever did was make it hurt
The words I didn’t say to let you win
All it ever did was make it worse
Oooh
You lit the match, I stood there
And I wasn’t scared cause
I thought maybe you would let me in
All you ever did was let me burn
You let me
Burn
Burn
I tried to run, I tried to hide
But it’s all come down
How could I survive?
I see it now
You’re dark inside
You had me then
I just saw light
Giving it all but I can’t even look in your eyes your eyes
Wish that I could be enough for you oh but I’m tired
I’m tired
Oh I wanted you to let me in
All you ever did was make it hurt
The words I didn’t say to let you win
All it ever did was make it worse
Oooh
You lit the match, I stood there
And I wasn’t scared cause
I thought maybe you would let me in
All you ever did was let me burn
You let me
Burn
Burn
