Assume

To assume makes an ass out of you and me
Well you’re an ass, and me?
I’m gone
Listen to these words dripping from my lips
I’m done with those lies hiding in your kisses
If I tell you I’m through, don’t assume I’ve changed my mind
Dadada you’ll find
That I’ve danced on your drum and my feet are sore
And I can’t make them dance anymore
I’ve walked this line too many times between I’m fine and I want more
Dadada
Dadadada
You’re stuck in the boxes inside your head
Whatever can’t fit is as good as dead
And I’m breaking the rules by telling you I’m moving on
Dadada I’m gone
Dead men walking why bother why try
Dead man walking why bother why cry
Dead man walking why bother why try
Why bother walking when in heaven dead men
Fly
Now I’ve danced to your drum and my feet are sore
And I can’t make em dance anymore
And I’ve walked this line too many times between I’m fine and I want more
I want more
Dadada
Dadada
To assume makes an ass out of you and me
Well you’re an ass, and me?
I’m gone

Through

I opened my lungs my heart my brain
Gave you my umbrella and walked in the rain
Now I’m soaked through
And I’m through with you
My head’s not ready to talk to my heart
The mess you made is a work of art
I’m untangling scars, pulling baggage apart
I’m through with you?
Cause I’m more than enough without you
And I’m saving my umbrellas and my “I Do’s”
And I don’t and I won’t, no more bending I’m through
Through bending and believing in
You need space take my rocket ship
You need time I don’t give a shit
Take time, go find the moon
I’ve got no room for you
No more lemons no more lemonade
No more salty, no more shade
These bright shiny lies are beginning to fade
I see through you
And I’m through
Cause I’m more than enough without you
And I’m saving my umbrellas and my “I Do’s”
And I don’t and I won’t, no more bending I’m through
Through bending and believing in you
I’m more than enough without you
And I’m saving my umbrellas and my “I Do’s”
And I don’t and I won’t, no more bending I’m through
Through bending and believing in you
Youuu x3

Not a Tree
03:19
|

I tried to make myself a tree
Grow up much taller than me
Make my leaves soft and green
I tried to make myself a tree
I thought that I should plant some roots
I went and bought those ugly Ugg boots
And I never knew
How to be a tree
I am not the waves crashing down
I am not the breeze swirling round
I am not a tree
I am me
I am not a tree
I tried to make myself a book
Colored in my covers and my spine so I would look
Like the others on the shelf
I tried to make myself a book
But I am not something to be red
I like blue much better and somethings are better left unread
I tried to shape myself for you
There is nothing that I thought that I wouldn’t do
Now I’ve gone and turned all my bones to goo
Trying to fit inside what I meant to you
Oh no no no no
No no no no no
No no no no no
Nooo nooo nooo nooo
I am not a tree
I am not a book
I am simply me
If you care to look
And I will be much more
Then you ever, I ever had thought I could be
Cause I’m not trying to be a tree

Little Bird

Hey little bird with the broken wing
Too tired to soar too tired to sing
Don’t sing anything
Hey little bird with the broken song
You sang another’s song too long
But you’re not wrong
You’re not wrong
Oooooh
Hey little bird with the lonely nest
Sometimes empty feels the best
So tuck your head against your own chest
Rest
Oooooh
And I miss her too, little bird
I know it hurts
But it’s ok
Yeah I miss her too, little bird
I know it hurts
But it’s ok
You can let it hurt today
Ooooooh
Hey little bird, it’s ok
Not to want to sing today
Hey little bird, it’s ok
Not to want to sing today
We’re okay
